Well spotted!

However, the GT is now over here in Canada!

It's had quite a life of travel:
Broadmeadows, Australia > Transvaal, South Africa > Somerset, England > Nova Scotia, Canada

My ex had one of those, the HC, but it was a base model. It was a bright yellow colour like your neighbour's door. The engine seized on the "Acle straight" twixt Norwich and Gt Yarmouth one morning, because there was no water in the radiator.Since it was a base model, there was no water temperature gauge !!! Seriously.

And we can't live without leccy windows.

But once again, please read the thread title. This thread is for today's photos made to look old, not old photos or films. There is another thread for that.

I might play with this on Picasa but I think it looks pretty old without alterations.

Very Sweeney-esque, I thought.

This was my Grandfathers business, looks like it was a wet day! Any ideas as to what is lined up?

Most of them look like Chevrolets, but second from right is an Austin (I think a 12/4) and the car to it's left looks like some kind of Morris.

You have the wrong thread, by the way.

That's a very good attempt, what's the story behind it?
I presume it's a Bentley, is it yours?

Thanks. Unfortunately the story is not that interesting at all. I was at the St. James's Concours of Elegance in September and I'd looked around everything and as I was about to leave noticed that this Bentley (a 1925 3-Litre) had parked by one of the buildings. There was no one in the way so I took the opportunity to take a photo without any modern clutter.

As for it being mine, I can but dream. It's still 11 months before I can apply for a driving license!
