The weather was looking promising for this so I was hoping for a good turnout. Then there was a shower at about 5 and the odd other threatening cloud hanging around, one of which finally struck the Ace at around 7:30, chucking it down for about 15 mins which was a bit annoying. At least those that were there stayed rather than hurrying off and there was some quality Italian steel amongst them.
These two arrived together and were both for sale. Part of a collection I think.
I don't recall seeing a Flaminia coupe at the Ace before.
Shaken/stirred etc.
This 2CV van has/will appear in my spotted thread. Work van for a wooden window restorer, who was doing some work on a house we pass on the way to/from school.
This looks like a nice place to pilot a car from.
Belongs to this.
Vauxhall Silver Aero prototype. POINTY
Ami huit
Shabby chic.
TR6 wheels really do suit a saloon.
AUSTERE
Another luscious Lancia.

Here's an odd one. The sticker on the side named this one a 'MARTIN 5'. Never heard of such a model so I did some digging (ie looked at Wikipedia). It seems that to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Martin Lilly's ownership of the firm they produced a special edition. There were meant to be ten of them but twelve were made, however the first ten were individually labelled, MARTIN 1 through to MARTIN 10. "The cars were painted Rover Tobacco Leaf with a Rover Mexico Brown model band and finished with a brown vinyl roof with a lighter brown vinyl sunroof."
A Datsun in very good order.
The crock of gold rust at the end of the rainbow.
So there.
