In good company.


Properly done replica.


Hoping it has a Ford V8 in.


XK120 yum.


What a beauty.

Next: pre-war Bentley.

Pre-war glory.


Controls at the wheel: Ferrari wasn't the first to do that in a road car.


Fantastic details, albeit a bit ... huge.


Bentley in the sun.


Used.

Next: more pre-war.

Good to hear GVL still alive and well- saw him race many times in period in F5000 Surtees TS11. Lovely cars at event - love the Alfa Zagato especially I do disagree re MGB GT comment re Lancias though- I have never owned a B (nor really wanted to ) but I always thought the GT was exceptionally well styled, like a baby Aston Martin should look like. Trouble is that the B's ubiquity devalues its looks - if only a few hundred survived they'd be hugely sought after and praised.

Cheers for the comment. IMO Italian cars (from that period) are so much better styled compared to Brit equivalents. No wonder Pinninfarina and the likes were invited for a take on Austin cars. Italians had the ability to make cars look good from every angle and at every speed / pace.

Mercedes modern take on the cabrio theme isn't bad either.
