An ecletic selection of cars pictures from the show.

I saved the best (possibly my favourite car) till last, a Bugatti Type 55. I'm off to get my lottery ticket

What is the little blue car, four in from left, four down? I like that but can't recall ever having seen one?

Hi Mark,

That car has a tenuious link to GT 40's as it's an AC 3000ME, always liked them.

Thanks Nick.

always liked those strange looking and rare AC 3000 cars.
in those days I drove Fiat X1/9 and looked at it as a step upwards to the Fiat
some years ago you could buy those for really low prices at PH, it should have had a V8 longitudinal (ala de Tomaso) and not a V6 transverse.

Nice pics Nick including a Piper GTT. I note the pics of Brough Superiors but the absence of a certain dark blue Brough saloon which lives not far from me! Most folks on here will not know Nick BROUGH's "other car" which is a really nice dark blue BROUGH Superior Saloon. He claims that there is no connection but that seems dubious to me as he is a bit posh.
Now get back in the shed and get the 40 done.
Cheers
Mike

Dark blue saloon!!!!! it's an All Weather Drophead Coupe, don't you know dear boy :laugh:

Actually Mike, when asked I always claimed I might be related as I didn't want to find out I wasn't.

Last year the Brough Family Organisation of the USA contacted me to ask permission to trace my family tree and it turns out I am George Brough's 6th cousin 3 times removed, havn't got a clue what it means, but it's good enough for me.

P.S. You live in Oldham anyone would be posh to you , please keep reminding me about that shed, I rely on you to get me back on track.
