  1. Tidy car , appears reasonable price to me, don’t think will be available long
  2. Smart car , always like this fords spare wheel treatment , semi recessed , better than sat on extended fender plate
  3. Great looking car , I’m suspicious , but if I lived in states would take next step and have it checked out and buy if legit , may great daily driver
  4. That’s a great photo John typifies what we perceive of the life and style of the Maharajahs , extremely rich and collectors of fine things including great automobiles. Think it was easier to repatriate British cars as returning diplomats probably could ship during and end of British Rule
  5. I know the Indian Royal families were big collectors of rolls Royce’s in 20s and 30s as remembered seeing repatriated examples at auction , imagine they were they also big collectors of American top marques , did many return to USA
  6. Hi I have read this thread and quite surprised at what you can buy for mid teens , some great looking cars , however listening to the experience of the posters I would feel you have act quickly to secure the good quality cars if they tick the boxes , myself I have hesitated to long and missed many a great deal and sadly regret some.
  7. 5632 i note there is a thumbs up on your post above , was it there when you posted
  8. Historic occasion and most memorable instance of the Anglo / American alliance. my father was there with a Sherman tank made by your parents or grandparents. Many American servicemen were in temporary barracks near where my mother lived New Milton in the new forest and she attended dances at the base with her older sister and had very enjoyable time and brief interlude in what were very fraught times . would have been good to remember with them yesterday , but sadly both gone .
  9. If this was in Uk , would definitely go for it as have reasonable parts car just going to ruin together would make a great project
  10. Great images from many 30s films , showing beautiful amazing cars but I wonder as many of these films may have been produced by the same studio , has anyone spotted the same car in more than one film., just curious, would make sense economically
  11. Been enthralled John , amazing set of Hollywood ‘images with beautiful cars . great to remember and put a face to the names my parents and grandparents talked about . Myself and I’m sure many others appreciate your dedication, generosity and obvious much time and effort shown to feed our interest and enlighten some like me .
  12. Don’t see many I recognise , but this a bit later and certainly a healey
  13. Your lucky guys Uk has roundabouts everywhere drives you nuts ,big ones have traffic lights to enter and sometimes 2 or 3 sets when circulating and another set to exit onto your route , madness .
  14. BMW m6 convertible in white , black alloys , ticks all my boxes , but still rather have a 1930s speedster if I was spending that much bread
  15. Royals, always have a large entourage, an equerry ( personal attendant) one for each could be two and lesser royals and still on the boat, ladiesmaid , manservant , Butler etc. Love it she had style 😀
  16. In your dreams Lamar , mine too 😀
  17. Cheers Beautiful car design fooled me , appears to me ahead of its time , very similar to later British 50s sports cars
  18. Good to see some British cars , I had a beautiful singer gazelle blue with cream side swipe it was a 63 and mine in 69 loved the veneered interior , quality car .
  19. Thanks John from a novice , English plate though And to add , really enjoy these images , loved the 41 indiananapolis video
