Ian, is that a light blue DBSV parked between you and the California? Or a silver one that's just reflecting the two cars either side?!

Definitely a beautiful shade of light blue, don't know the exact colour though. You might like this one as well.

That was a bit far from me but I hate missing shows, is there anywhere on the web that lists all shows?

I've sent you an email, but yes, it snuck up on me too!

Is that a Lagonda Rapide ? I don't think I've ever seen one before.

[DB4DM]

Hi, yes it's a 1962 Rapide which was a works demonstrator and David Brown car. It's a car for relaxed travelling rather than spirited driving, but can surprise moderns if necessary

[Loose_Cannon]

IMHO Aston missed a trick not badging the current Rapide as a Lagonda. As an elongated and lithe version of the sporty 2+2 it is the spiritual successor of this car.

Totally agree but then Bez was in control at the time so probably had no idea of the heritage...

What engine does this Lagonda have?

It's the Tadek Marek 4.0 straight 6 similar to that in the DB5.
