I think it's beautiful.

I see this one parked downstairs at the office occasionally. Local Bentley dealership is just up the road from the office, and the owner of the building we're in must be a member of the Perth Bentley owner's club - there are often old Bentleys parked downstairs.

This one's my favourite though ................

That is lovely, One of my dream cars is a Morgan plus 8 it must be the shape

There were a couple of nice Plus 8's where I took these photos too. I'd prefer the Aeromax though ...............





The silver one I posted earlier is a Steadman Jaguar TS100, which is a 'reproduction' of the original Jag SS100, manufactured by Ottercraft Ltd in Hayle, Cornwall, United Kingdom, during the late 1980s and early 1990s. With a hand-built aluminium body, the Steadman TS100 used Jaguar XJ6 running gear and was sold as a high quality, more modern version of the Jaguar SS100.

Yeah Mick, there were just over 1000 "R" series Valiants sold in Australia, imported as CKD from America. I guess the fact that there are so few of them means they hold their value to collectors. The "S" series numbered just over 10,000, so they are a bit more common. I love the curved gearshift lever on the manual "R" series.
I photographed the "S" series in the photo above at a car show last year.

I love the 105 !

GF told me last week that her mother had a Lancia Fulvia in the early seventies and "it was one of only about six in Australia..."
So I ventured it must have been a Zagato ?
When I found a pic, she said, yes, that was it !
Apparently mother always wore string backed gloves and double de-clutched down changes

Me Disco.

Well anyway.
