One For Classic Car Fans.....

A woody Moggie, the wider wheels suggesting some mechanical updating.

I have no idea on what mechanicals were changed

I think slightly larger 'normal' wheels on Minors used to indicate that they'd had a running gear update from a Marina. These days, I think you can get adaptors to allow the use of this type of wheel with whatever flavour of engine/rear axle replacement you've fitted.

Not quite a car.

On yesterday’s walk, some form of Healey:

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Wednesday 14th

The boot badge stated 1600GT
'Squires'
Newthorpe
Sherburn-in-Elmet (between there & Ledsham, on the B1222)


Amelia, & I, had a bit of a 'dad & daughter road-trip', including Howden (6 uploads)
I did offer to buy her dinner, at Selby, but we decided to call here, & to see what was in the parking areas

I also bought a t-shirt (with the cafe logo) for a forthcoming trip to the Isle Of Man (just SWMBO & I)

That’s nice, 17 year old me would have sold a kidney to have that

The rear looks very squatty - it should be more level. Wonder what's up?

Look what they used to go for (2011 auction estimate)

Stumbled upon this auction when we visited Duxford air museum today.

These two were in the car park one I can dream about and the other I have found memories about.

From the Auction

A Lancia Beta got to be rare these days

This Maserati and the Ferrari 400 would have been high on my list and the Ferrari was only expected to be £40k

 

[biggs682]

More auction cars including a very tasty 911 Carrera supersport.

Other entries included a range of Rolls Royce's, Bentley's and a couple of Alvis's along with a very genuine looking Sierra 4x4 xri in red

Id have sold both kidneys and raced my mate who had a crossflowed Mexico, lovely!

Wouldn't say no to one of them!

 

[biggs682]

Wouldn't say no to one of them!

Nor me

@biggs682 I’ll take the Big Healey you can take your pick of others .

 

[Grant Fondo]

I wouldn't say no to an Uno Turbo either

 

[biggs682]

@Juan Kog yes that was very tidy indeed , there was a rather tasty red TR6 or the Bristol 407 but we can dream

I’ve just had a little man accident
