That's something Abbie and I should really try and do next year. Instead 5 hours at York Designer outlet getting wedding gear. Elvington so near but so far away

Ooooooh! I can smell the oil and leather from here Matt.
What a super bunch of cars, lovely photos too, looks like perfect weather to boot.

Looks wrong with helmets on somehow.
but the Lola T70 I so want one! Tamiya do a 1/12 version @£130 and that's it for the hardtop versions

Re: Historic Racing Cars - Donington Historics 2011
Went to the local Rescue squad fund raiser car show this weekend and there was a guy there with the convertible version of this car. What I found strange was the bullet shaped center hub of the steering wheel. Not a good thing if you have a head on accident. Of course the steering wheel was on the left (correct) side of the car.mattbacon wrote:
