.............and after my discussion with Nick about the Ford Model T, well on the American theme here is one that was apparently the "Sports Tourer" version!! LOL ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D:



 ;D ;D ;D


I once knew someone who was restoring an early example and I seem to remember it had just one cylinder, in, to us now, a very basic engine ;)

STOP PRESS  Just done some research, and the Model T engine was like this; a bit bigger than a one cylinder engine!




Now that leaves me with a mystery.  What was the one cylinder engine I saw, or thought I saw, still in the chassis of, what I understood, a Model T????  Anyone???? ??? ??? ??? ???

If memory  serves he drove a 390GT ( as well as a Ford Puma) ::) ::) ;). I believe that 390 cubic inches equates to roughly  six point something litres. :y. Very nice.

Rover P5B convertible  :-*, first one ive seen with rag top  :o




Yes they are another love of mine, being a truly heavy British car that was luxurious at the time, well to me anyway!! :D  Is that shown the big engined, 3.5 ltr, example? :(  I know there is a way you can tell, but I have now forgotten how! ::)

I always watch the series George Gently on BBC because it is a great programme with a lovely key actor, but also for the old cars, including George's Rover. :-* :-* :-* :-*

When you think how Rover ended up, it is so sad, making unimpressive faceless cars. :'( :'( :'(

And set in Gods Country, the North East and in places that I remember from my childhood.... :y :y

Then you have the earlier experimental Rover, the 1950 JET1, a turbine powered car:




 :) :y

It could accelerate 0-60 in 14 seconds, and top speed recorded was 90mph! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

My miggy certainly does better than those figures :D ;)

I must complete the Rover theme with the 1960s P5 3.0 litre version:




Trust me, but I think the V8 P5B must get my vote. 8)

To change the theme slightly, my all time favourite classic car; the 1912 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost :




What a beautiful car that apparently, according to my Great Uncle Bill who drove one as a chauffeur for Lord and Lady Pilkington, just purred along with a very very quiet engine.

Beauty Personified! 8) 8) 8) 8)

Well for you Andy this is the 3.5 V8 P5B Coupe, but I must say it looks soooooo similar to the previous saloon shown! :D :D

Worth showing though as I just love them :-* :-*

You can tell a lot of work has gone into making this convertible. The doors have been lengthened along with the trim on them.
