thats a lot of cars, mostly smal/short cars, imagine with all the big and long cars of today, to try and put that number of cars in that image, on that same street, you would need a longer picture/street part.

Photoshop did cross my mind too... but, maybe somebodys out of the box creation.
Slightly different colour. up to the rear door... but that could be caused by the tree shade.

And then they invented transporters,..

Wasn't that the US Grand Prix at Riverside? The maintenance garages were some miles from the track and many cars were driven there on public roads.

Magnificent sight. Can you imagine the furore if someone attempted such audacity today? Attitudes and life were freer back then.

With the number of potholes we currently have I'm not sure an F1 car could survive being driven on the road.

Try driving an unregistered 1950s racer on the Sussex roads after a Goodwood Revival Meeting and see what happens

Surely it must happen, just a little bit, up to the Kennels maybe.

I don't recollect seeing any '50s racers parked at the Kennels.
It's usually stuffed with SUVs and 4x4 when I go there...
