Some more from Fathers photos taken in the 1930's.

Not sure were but in one it looks like a chalk carving on the hillside.

Lovely photos. But am I missing out on a competition to see who can post the most oversize photographs or something? Mad

Much more enjoyable when you can see the whole of a picture in one go without altering the screen size or moving the picture around.

Great photos, you'll have probably seen the Sunbeam that belonged to Rotarybri's parents in the early 1930s, the S90 featured on the site.

Corgi fold up paratroopers motorcycle. I wouldn't mind one of these to lug around during my travels....but the excess bagage would ruin my finances Sad

not anywhere near as classic and desirable as the others posted here but ive just dragged this out of my fathers garage after many years.
its all complete and in good condition generally. i will have a look at it the weekend with a view to getting the engine running before advertising it (this isnt a for sale ad btw)

As an enthusiast of motoring things made in Yorkshire I ask: Anyone seen a P&M Panther recently?
