I was there last week too Zack. Found a new museum (new to me at least) in the centre of Athens and took a bit of video. Some interesting classics if you can bear the naff music I added ....

Short Walk Around The Hellenic Motor Museum, Athens - July 2015

Thanks, I enjoyed that! I was aware of the museum's existence, though - our coach drove straight past it.

I am not sure that the Carlton is a 'cool classic' but a rare sight nowadays?

Very pleased to be able to catch this very smart Gordon Keeble for a shot passing by on the A14 near Godmanchester last Friday! Am I right in assuming only 30 or so of these exist?...

[TonyF55]

A few from me spotted in South London.

No. I think that about 90 of the 99 Gordon-Keebles built still survive. 41 attended last year's 50th birthday event.

Lovely little GT6 Mk I. The best looking Spitfire variant IMHO.

90 is about right for survivors but I think we had 48 different cars attend the 50th celebration, but no more than 47 at any one time.

90 according to the owner I spoke to at the Goodwood Breakfast Club Supercar Sunday this year.

That is lovely.

Remember driving one of these in Sweden when over there to see my penpal when I was 17.
Penpals friend let me drive his along one of the local back road which was just gravel.
Found the column change really tricky but remember going sideways once or twice by accident which impressed the owner :-)

[iva cosworth]

I worked in a SAAB garage when these were almost current so got used to the column change on these.

This pic is from Sweden,could've taken lots more pics of these,still a few about there.

Spotted this in the top car park of Glen Nevis a couple of days ago.

I think that it may have been on display at Shelsley Walsh on Sunday. A brilliant day out, even my wife wants to go back next year and she doesn't do "Car things".

[Schmeeky]

This immaculate Series 1 turned up in our car park today..

[iva cosworth]

Triple score.

DB7,RR Silver Shadow and a Lancia on the 2nd ramps in.



Quadruple if you're a Multipla fan....
