Quentin Willson with Philip Porter's E-Type, 848 CRY. This was the car damaged during the 'Italian Job' of which Scalextric made a model.

From a visit to the Schlumpf collection several years ago.

David Ellis's mighty Aston at Oulton in the 1980s - a crude, but most effective machine.

A few more pictures from my last visit to the Schlumpf collection.

Britain's first Honda NSX customer receives the keys to his new car at McLaren's HQ.

Tony Dron and Mike Salmon side by side at Woodcote in the mid 1980s during great days of AMOC events. Silverstone hasn't changed for the better since.

A solar-powered concept car by Mazda 30+ years ago. Prophetic, perhaps.

I could have spent weeks there. The whole place is a mind-boggling wonder, and it's to be borne in mind that there were hundreds of cars behind the scenes awaiting restoration.

Everyone should go at least once.

A young Alain Prost.

A few clips from the Kenyan Daily Nation newspaper, March, 1967. Those were days when even the British dailies devoted space to great motoring events like the Safari Rally.

The same space today is occupied by drivel about celebs of whom few have ever heard.

One of the earliest advertisements for the new-fangled motor car, 1886/7.

Another example of early automotive advertising.

A 1912 Austro-Daimler with bodywork by Healey of New York. Love the windscreens.

If the government gets its way we will be driving cars Like that soon enough,cause with the expansion of these utterly ridiculous 20 mph speed limits it’s only a matter of time before some office Waller decides 15 is better than 20 then 10 then back to having someone in front with a red flag and there y have the motoring full circle,you see if I ain’t right 😤

Brakes have improved but driving standards haven’t
