Shaun, you did tell us you'd bought a Triumph Acclaim! Ready for continental driving I see with the headlamp beam adjuster in place. Is this what you are using to go to Saxony?

Had a chat to the driver of this Austin Special at the lights today. He had been taking part in a hill climb at the weekend and was returning home.

Not sure if a Ford Probe is a classic or not but it's been a while since I saw one. I think this ones days on the road are numbered though...

I'm cheating here but this turned up to a local garden centre show on Sunday, it isn't really a 1931 Le Mans Bentley, it's a Bentley MkV1 chassis, RR 8 cylinder engine and a replica body, impressive all the same.

I think the Big black American car is a Buick Roadmaster circa 1938.
