What is being held up by the headlamp cross bar?

Had to pop into town at lunch today and sat outside the post office was a very tidy Sunbeam Rapier. Grey/maroon and pre-63 number plate.

While I was in Longstone Tyres (Bawtry) I saw they had a racing Frazer Nash. Apparently it can do 138 mph!
Also, an Austin Seven sports which is also used for racing.
Neither car was particularly smart but I still wish I had taken photos.
Note: The Frazer Nash is captured outside their place on Google Earth.
A also saw a Morgan. Nothing particularly unusual about that except it was a rather ungainly four seater. |

Well, at least when one starts collecting a family, one isn't compelled to resort to a Volkswagen Golf???

Personally, I have no regrets in not contributing to the plethora of little consumers. I carried on driving my Triumph GT6 long after the Golf GTi era had passed me by! |

This one, I think, or one very similar to it. This was Sunday, so perhaps returning from the meeting at the Heritage Centre that I didn't know about until the day after.

Quite a rare sight on the roads these days. When I was still living at home my younger brother had one of those. He has always been a gentle, kindly sort of chap and wouldn't have said bad word about anyone. When he found his lovely Wolseley Mini had been vandalised overnight he simply cried like a baby. My Dad and I soon had his car put to rights so it all ended well.  |

Passed a lovely split screen Morris Traveller in the village, sporting ribbons and a Christmas wreath!!

Is it interesting that this Moggie traveller appears to hve been here, on the A49, since 2010?

Due to a road closure I had to drive an alternative way home, I spotted in a village near me 2 late 1940s Bentley MkVI's sat out in the open at the edge of a field.
Their condition looked ok and certainly not like they had been out in the open for much time.

Surely you have taken pictures?

I've seen a dark silver / grey 944 a few times over the last couple of days. I think it's one I've seen before.
