Better late than never, hopefully... from August Bank Holiday, their annual classic car meet.
Not a huge gathering of US stuff but we managed to get chosen as 3rd place in their American category. 2nd place was the pale blue 56 'vette and first was a 71 'stang that somehow I forgot to get a photo of

Quite a surprise with so many other, what we'd think were more obvious choices for an award

I have a desire to own a Mehari at some point,Iโve had a few Wibbly Wobblies in the past and love the quirky French stuff.

The Facel Vega Excellence belongs to a good friend of mine, in fact the guy responsible for my American car addiction, its a pretty rare car, has a 383 Mopar in it, i've driven it a few times, its a lovely car. The owner has a few rare and obscure cars, he also owns the Ghia L64 that was at Brooklands last year, a one of 99 built Pininfarina 59 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham and a one of 400 1957 Eldorado Brougham with the suicide doors and stainless steel roof

Thanks for the insight Andy. 57 Eldorado Brougham is one hell of a Caddy,very cool. I dream of driving the one out of the museum at Le Mans every time I visit.
