    I would never have guessed that one, looks alot like a Longchamp, to me anyway, when you consider it was built and remodelled by Fissore after the initial design from Frua, and Fissore also built for De Tomaso...They could almost be brothers.

    Totally agree about the Cooper Monaco and most cars of that era. Always a favourite of mine. The next group will be sports/sports racing cars 1952 - 1955. Who would have thought you'd get a full grid of 30 from a 3 year span of cars built over 60 years ago?
    Still not quite like the SF Edge race from the Members Meeting!

    Agree! The members meeting was even on the Air NZ entertainment system last month. If you look back at old race programmes, the majority of races were for single seaters, sports cars or sports racing cars. In other words, semi exotic. In fact, racing saloons is a relatively new innovation. (Bearing in mind my age, relatively new...)
    What do we get these days? Utes, more utes and taxis... Thank goodness Tony Quinn is bringing the GT's to NZ.

    One of the most energetically driven cars of the whole meeting! The HWM Cadillac. At 5400cc, probably predates the AC Cobra by a decade.

    Ray,
    How could my scratchy old "Box Brownie" photos be confused with your beautiful, clear photography ?
    I am going to step away and not get in the way anymore.
    Cheers,
    Ken H

    As others have posted Ken, ALL photographs are valid, good or not so good!

    Personally, even with my ancient stuff, I try to scan, crop, then display the subject as best I can, but this takes 10 times as long as just a quick scan and publish. At least with a modern digital camera, you have the luxury of taking 1,000's and then deleting what isn't up to scratch - for free. It only takes time.

    When I think that Dad lugged a large plate camera to Donington pre war, with just 12 glass slides for the day, but most came out well, you accept how easy it is today. More UK pics to follow.

    I haven't finished with the UK trip pictures, but as a quick break, just a sample from the TACCOC Spring meeting today at Hampton Downs. I wasn't there too long, but good to see three events going on at the same time. Drifting on the short track (with lots of noise and an incredible amount of smoke covering the area - including the National track...) the skid pan and the National track. Looks as though the kart track is almost ready, with just the office building/workshop and car park area to finish.

    The RAC TT Celebration was possibly the feature event for the weekend. First practice was Friday; qualifying practice was on the wet Saturday and Sunday's race was a 1 hour, two driver affair. No excuses for posting more than one pic of some of the cars.

    CUT 7 is a famous Jaguar, but I'm not so keen on the non-period blue...

    The Sunbeam-Lister Tiger was another of my favourite cars of the weekend. Owned by Tony Eckford, but driven by Chris Beighton and Matt Neal. Always good to see so many 'star' drivers.

    This bronze E Type Jaguar, owned by Paul Webb, driven by Jackie Oliver and John Young, is the first ever E Type Jaguar I saw racing, at Mallory Park and one of the earliest. It was driven then by its first owner, Ken Baker and I think that somewhere, I have a (poor) photograph of it. I can still remember the day the E Type was announced and the first picture I saw, published in the Daily Mirror, and the reaction from my school mates and the general public.
    It was genuinely mind blowing and to this day, is still one of the most beautiful cars ever made - though I preferred the FHC.

    I think there were more Jaguars competing than any other make, so no apologies for yet more Jaguar pictures. I did miss seeing the Mk2 Jaguars racing other saloons though. I do believe that just about all the E Types racing, sounded so smooth and well balanced.

    The last of this race group. Love the Lister Jaguar Coupe... Final picture sums up what this pair thought about their 3rd place.

    The 89 Jaguar won, but there was a little touch with the #2 Cobra on the way through.
