Hi,
Went to see the Shuttleworth Collection in Bedfordshire yesterday, it's really worth a visit. It was a 'flying day' and we saw a fabulous collection of vintage and stunt aircraft performing, a flypast including a Spitfire and Hurricane, finishing of with a Lancaster Bomber.
There are cars, motorcycles and the most incredible garden and forest walk to keep the 'memsahib' amused. A pleasant restaurant provided sustenance.

Here are a few photos:

Sorry about having to scroll right for photos. Why is that, what am I doing wrong? http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t103/donthebat/Bristol.jpg

Now that's interesting place!!

Any more pics of the Siddley roadster?

[pigtin]

Sorry Stuchamp, but I only took the one photo. It is really the sort of car one wants to take home, isn't it?
There are a couple more on their website:

Nice site, Thanks for the link!

If I was younger I wouldn't mind having a go at trying to scratch build something similar.

Never say your'e too old Stuchamp. I built this after 4 heart attacks, a stroke and a quad' bypass operation. It made me regain my youth and fitness, but then, replicating something like the Siddeley would be a far longer term project.

Good job, sweet looking ride!

You should do a thread on the build of it.
