What you cant see on the photo(as the bonnets up) was he had that model on its base fixed to the dashboard......

Some lovely cars there - another couple of Alvis's - the TF is my favourite of all. Rover 2000TC series 1 - I used to have a series 2 2000SC, so have a soft spot for that. AND...a couple of Sunbeams - a series Rapier and an Alpine. One day I will have a real Alpine! I also liked the Gilbern Invader and the Jensen 541R - those two are extremely rare or even non-existent in NZ. I love going to motor shows like this. Thanks for sharing!

Cheers,
Gavin

Thanks Gavin,that jensen was very nice...

If you ever come across a Diamond White MK1 Mexico at one of these shows with the reg number RRF616L please take a photo as it used to be mine! I sold it to a guy in Edinburgh who said he was moving to London, can't remember what year I sold it but it was not long before the prices shot up

Ewan, what were you thinking.........i bet you regret that decision now!

The early American Touring Car in the first group of pictures with the pretzel style Biflex front bumper is a Studebaker.
The Dodge Dart has a GT styled hood on it, but no GT fender emblems on it. The front fenders without side markers may have been taken off an earlier car, or maybe this car was foreign delivered without the U.S. safety requirements for them? kwakers

The small matter of becoming a parent - I haven't had a fun car since
However, this has to change at some point. Since the age of around 12 I have been promising myself a V8 before I die!

Go on...treat yourself!

Some beautiful cars there but I especially love the Ford Mk2's - that Consul is superb and the old Lotus Cortina isn't bad either. I would take any of this lot and stick it in my garage.
