Hi Keith – I didn’t get down there … can’t say I’m that enthusiastic about them … but I did enjoy driving one or two back in the say. Great photos – fun to see – cheers Hilary
It dates to admit I had quite a few of those when they were new, my favourite was probably my Sunbeam Alpine in the same colour as the one I snapped, British Racing Green!
At Singapore F1 they get all the vintage cars in Singapore and put them on display (they’re part of a car enthusiast club). Everyone loves seeing them in the breaks….
Wonderful photos of those classic cars. The Alpine brings back memories from when we were first married. The farm belonged to my in laws and they had a caravan they let out to someone. He was around our age and we got on well. He went out and bought an Alpine which didn’t sound very healthy. He wanted to take us for a drive which was fine going down the road, but then he had to go up a steep hill (think Porlock Hill but without as many hairpins). The car went slower and slower and we ended up trying to push him up the hill. It did go better after we had got out though!!
Not good at the time but I bet you’ve laughed about it since! I too had an Alpine the same colour as the one in the picture. We took it on a camping trip to the small Dutch island of Texel and it broke down. It took days to get the replacement parts – and a mechanic!
We used to live in a neighborhood where there were a few neighbors always tinkering on their “classic.” They also participated in shows and what not. In those years we went with our son to these classic car shows:) Classy captures, Keith. Love the close-ups!
The town in which I live is known as the home of British motor racing, so old cars feature very heavily in the various events throughout the year. I’m really pleased you like them.

I would have loved to see this car show in person. Wow. Okay, I wouldn’t mind having the money that were put into these cars.
Thank you for hosting the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, Keith. 🙂

I like anything that is beautiful (in my eyes of course). Except for the size, I wish the cars nowadays would more look like the ones from the past:)
