Old Cars

[Darren Hankard]

Any one been to the Beaulieu museum in the Uk?
Alot of old/classic/specialist and unique cars there, some from 007 and strange ones like a giant Orange thats drivable

From the start of the London-Brighton veteran car run, about 1980. These shots taken in Parliament Square. As you can see, they can still move quickly enough to blur the background!

Great shots Tony - it looks like they are whizzing past

Thanks both. I was lucky they stayed in aoorox focus without too much blur. In the days of my XM.

An old car I noticed outside the hospital, so grabbed my a99 + 50/2.8 and...
Don't ask about the model, don't know, but there was a man outside who knew the driver and insisted of being a Ford, though the signs say something else...

It is nice to see it still in use Doc. The blacked-out windows look a bit modern

[Dr. Harout]

He renewed and refurbished the car with his own hands, so I was told. He even changed the transmission box to an automatic one.
I was told also that he had a similar one (or a copy) painted in green as the original version.

A couple more. These cars have to have been built before 1905. And each year they take a 54 mile trip from the centre of London to Brighton - on England's south coast.
Here, they are in London and moving....
