Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

Had a fantastic day at Mallory Park yesterday, highlight for me was the Edwardian races, with many, if not all, of the cars unique. Unfortunately there was what looked like a very nasty crash at the end of the day but don't believe there were any serious injuries or fatalities. I have more photos if anyone's interested, took about 85 in all.

First off, a look at the 'retro rides' show of modified old cars



No idea if this 'thing' is road legal!



Can't really see it on the photo, but on the back of the VW there's a chopper bicycle with a petrol motor added. Oh, and what's that on the left hand side of the bumper?



I think the bottle opener should come as standard on all cars!

Then a look around the pits



Nice Rolls



My favourite, a 1914 Sunbeam Tourist Trophy



Bentley 4 1/2 litre 'blower' with supercharger



Faded Union flag on the side of the Bentley, think the paintwork was original



1911 Ford Model T racer



Frazer Nash Super Sports outside 'Longston Cl(ass)ic Tyres'



The deafening 24 litre Napier Sea Lion powered Napier Bentley





1913 Singer 10



1908 GN (Godfrey Nash, predeccessor of the Frazer Nash) with a JAP engine, great fun watching this and the other GN drive through corners almost sideways!



Nice use of £80,000+ Frazer Nash TT Replica!



Tony Seber in the Wolseley Hornet Special won every race he was in (of the ones I saw anyway, missed the last two)



Alfa Romeo Zagato Spyder



Half of the line up for the post-WW2 race



Cooper T59 which won the race

And onto the Edwardians



101 is the 1914 Sunbeam Tourist Trophy, behind it is the 1908 Panhard Levassor Grand Prix which won the race and the Dick Baddiley Trophy



1906 Mors Le Sanglier (number 198) with either a Sunbeam or Minerva behind it (can't tell if it's a 105 or 109)



1912 Sunbeam coupe de l'auto



1908 GN about to slide around another corner



The grandson of the GN - a 1933 Frazer Nash TT Replica (still chain driven), one of four present and two racing, in the race after



The Dick Baddiley trophy on top of the Panhard Levassor that won it



Alvis Hare mascot well prepared for the evening drive home!



Anyone want to make a guess at the nationality, year and perhaps even make and model of this car?



Bit of a clue, metal badge on the radiator

Top photos there Rob, thanks a lot for posting them! do you know which cars were involved in the shunt??

the last pic looks like a French Amilcar of some sort to me? the Marchal headlamps would also suggest something French too

There are loads of photo's and videos on www.retro-rides.com have a look on their forum. Some friends went down from Sudbury, Suffolk for the weekend.

Hi

The Napier Bently is really nice, one of my favourites, but my favourite has got to be the Alvis Hare mascot!

Cheers for posting the pics!
