Wow! Beautiful vehicle, amazing picture
I love everything about this picture.
That Car, its so muscular, alive and beautiful IMO I want to be the person driving it and I'd be so pleased if I'd taken that photograph. Not at the same time of course

"Physical" is the word that came to my mind when I saw this (beautiful) picture. Worlds away from a modern driving experience....

When we used to buy new coaches they arrived on a wagon as a bare chassis with engine and wheels. We fitted two large diesel tanks and a Telma retarder. Then we drove them to Duple in Blackpool for a body to be fitted.
I've often driven one sitting on a wooden box.

Trust you Nick. Not me, it was gauntlets, crash helmet and a scarf. And prayed for NO rain. Much different on the return journey in a newly built coach.

What i love about cars of that era is the size of wheels.
Lovely 80cm tall wheels. On modern cars wheels are so small and because of this they look sick.
