Great busy photo , showing change in transport , horse carts to cars , devils number on side 666 😊also like the face posters they remind me of wanted reward posters and what’s swamp root ? Funny thing when I see many period photos of cars this era , most are dirty , probably work vehicles and cleaning not a priority I suppose.

Love the wonderful racers , but what a great Art Deco train !!

Don’t think I’d trust the guy in leather, looks very shady to me 😊

Thanks , love steam trains , and Canadian / Pacific very historic railway, sure they transported cars so loosely related to thread 😊

In Cyprus most of year and after selling my Juke , my daily driver all last year was my 72 stag only let me down 4 times !! One time my fault put big case in trunk squeezed gas line 😀other times carbs flooding and faulty coil , sorted now .

I think bad experience of MGs extends to Mga also sold my Mga to a french dealer who came to collect but couldn’t find my daughters house where I garaged the car , so he went to my house 8 miles away , insisted I meet him so not wishing to lose sale agreed , but this was late January in Uk , no roof, or side screens , freezing cold driving sleet , useless wipers a long 8 miles , arrived he put car on trailer never inspected it , transferred money and drove off , cest tout.

Roadside one of the last remaining bargains in Uk , only 50/60 bucks pa inc home start , no charges for tow , just parts needed for roadside fix

Called my red Buick Ruby and I remember Austin produced a small car in 30s called a Ruby

For me definitely OTT 😊

Classy car pity never made full production run

My family had Jowett javelin, it was fathers favourite car , was it a flat 4 engine

Embarrassingly , double yellow lines makes me think UK road 😁

Still would have been nice to know the project , makes it worth while

Hi i have used west coast shipping a few times , very competitive pricing , excellent service run by chap called Alex , real gentleman . Also great service from American Freight services , used both for east and west coast service , cars , crates all arrived safely

Like it too, wonder if the pseudo British ‘Tally Ho ‘uniform is there to highlight the class look of caddy 😁

Interesting good banter , as I split my year between Uk and Cyprus I have 2 daily drivers and when I bought them, both at a very good price , I thought they both had chance of becoming modern ‘classic’ collectables in a few years time . I would welcome opinions, I love the jag and will keep . Bought merc because you need ac out here and my classic stag has none , but may trade for a 80s SL if one comes up Cyprus car 1991 merc 190e 2.6 with Cosworth body kit uk 2007 jag xkr convertible

Makes me feel old when you mention cars that I bought nearly new cortina traded up from Capri 3.0s great car , apple green striped deck chair seats ( expensive now) sold my Mga last year to fund restoration of another but more thorough finish hope to finish this year , but as you know costs spiral and careful now selecting remaining parts and a interior trim specialist . I bought leather and carpet wholesale cheap so looking for craftsman at right price , had quotes ranging from 1000 to 2500 . Been in lockdown so only starting now to plan final stages . Going to sandblast and paint wire wheels to match car and do spinners gloss black to see if ok otherwise will buy new . The only experience I’ve had of racing is when I had a cobra replica about 20 years ago , they were affordable then , another car I shouldn’t have sold😁 I took it to a nascar track here called Rockingham , they let the cobra club race first , I accelerated to about 100mph down the straight but they raced past me and scared me the torque pull on the banking so admit I slowed and lapped at 80/90 still hairy though with at least 20 other cars flying past . I was a novice and think many other club members were experienced, my excuse 😊 cheers

Your cars are specialist real racing enthusiasts cars , you say e type expensive , but your Lola is an expensive appreciating asset and good TVR 2500 m sell here for over 40 k stg, but I realise to you price is immaterial and I agree owning and driving such cars is the pleasure not the price. I really enjoy driving my stag , but would love to drive a Lola at full pelt on a banked track 😁

Read your post with interest , Being British love our late 50s /early 60s sports cars , as you commented you like e types but I prefer the earlier XK s .personally dont like TR 7 much prefer the TR4 to TR6 real back to basics thrilling drive . I owned 1600 MGA , quite sporty feel , but prefer the one you didn’t mention Austin Healey 3000 which can be quite the authentic British sportscar drive , pretty gutsy . I also have V8 stag pretty hairy when driven by a pro , but more of a tourer when I drive . Tvr s I love , but just becoming classic chimera very tasty , but the one for me is the Tuscan , affordable now in Uk , less than Griffin which is also very nice . cheers

This looks a grand event , wonderful cars , love the speedster / tourer in top photo real class , wish I could go back in time would love to have been there

Over 40 years I’m ok then 😃

Although I live 70 miles from London and my classic is too new , my friend is a Marshall and from discussions most of the participants can afford 650 but think it scandalous normal classic car hobbyists should be burdened with more expense someone said time for another revolution, think last was Charles the first, so due , but I think historians say that was civil war , think french hold the revolution honour 1793 . British folks are discontented with many things , lockdown , big brother and government controls , pc correctness gone mad , but I think post covid is going to be harsh , we owe more now than we did after WW2 paying for stuff your grandad made and helped us . So think this just the start of ways to recoup some the debt and if there going to charge londerers won’t long before all cities here charge us classic car owners this levy and others they are dreaming up. Beam me up Scottie !

Very smart interior love it

That’s interesting , I was told originally beetles were made pre war, something about Adolf wanting a cheap people’s car

Like it , fair price especially with current pound / dollar exchange rate , would think could end up over the pond
