One For Classic Car Fans.....

Then you had the Hillman Imp and the Sunbeam Stiletto.

And the Singer Chamois

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

I believe it is a Sunbeam Rapier.

Thankyou
I was thinking along the lines of a Hillman
I was wrong

I closed upped, on a google image, to check out the radiator badge, I bow to your knowledge

Saturday 26th

Range Rover
Still the best shape! (to my mind)
Probably a 200Tdi, going by the manual gearbox, & single tail-pipe
it's also pre 'soft-dash' (that came in with the 300Tdi upgrade)

Squires Cafe

(between Sherburn-in-Elmet & Ledsham)
Just off The Great North Road /'old' A1

Our corner coffee shop is a bit of a classix car magnet . Yesterday was a Lotus Elan ( the original fibreglass one) but Lotus is a Local Car for Local People around here.

You've reminded me I also saw an early Lotus Elite last Saturday.

Still looks modern today, unlike later models.

A late 40s Plymouth in the town. Photo by my other half, who left me to work out what it was.

I must admit that I would love to own a car from that era

Today it's in the town centre with its hubcaps back on.

Had a little ride in this beauty on a lovely sunny evening this week. 1933 Riley, cable operated brakes, no syncromesh, 1100cc, no water pump (relies on hot water rising and circulating). The chap also has a 1934 saloon version, which he bought for £75 in 1965.

This was my view

Riley made some pretty cars. The 1950s RMs are nice too, and even in the BMC days, the Riley version of the Morris Oxford my mate had was rather nice

 

[tyred]

Riley were a bit special and made some pretty advanced cars in their heyday.

I'm reasonably certain that BMW have kept the right to the Riley name when they sold Rover although I have no idea what they plan to do with it.

Saw a Jaguar XK150 in Kenilworth yesterday. Sadly forgot about this thread and didn't take a photo.
