Description

I don't know how this one slipped through the net, it was supposed to be in yesterday's upload. Though on reflection this does deserve it's own little spot, I was part owner of one of these in 1965, I had just passed my driving test and three of us clubbed together to by the car. The lad that put the most money up was the one that kept it at home, but me and the other lad got to drive at weekends. It was a start and the experience gained was worth it. The last of the vehicles from Crich Tramway Museum but I still have a few people shots to work on. Thanks for stopping by for a look and for any comments you care to make, each and every one is appreciated. You know what they say about publicity, even bad publicity is good, the same with comments, even the bad ones are good, it shows you cared enough to say something. May the sun shine down on you, where ever you are. Just had snow falling here, although it's rain at the monment. Thanks for your continued support.

What a sweet car! It looks to be beautifully maintained, and has such lovely lines. I agree - this deserves its own special posting. Wonderful image!

I certainly am glad it got its own post as this is a premiere auto. What a gorgeous model she makes. :-) Fabulous shot.

Superb shot and of course postwork too. This ole girl just sparkles and gleams. I'm thinking about getting this sepia plug-in if its still available, it makes everything so colourful and pefect for this aged photo look.

Unbelievable car! What mean all these medals in the front? All those modern cars look boring against such a beauty. Thanks for sharing. Please notice, that you have fans of old british cars in Germany, too! They look great.
