he first two photos are the reason I was there.

Thanks Gra,
My mangled wreck is an "R" series, 1923 vintage.
I also have a Buick similar to the one in the pic, but not in quite as good nick.
A fairly spectacular collection by the look of the photos.
I took delivery of a six wheel drive Pinzgauer, circa 1976 on Thursday.Great fun, goes almost anywhere.Not clever enough to post photos.
Nice Bristols!!Last edited by Lignin; 26th January 2009 at 10:52 PM. Reason: Additional "Smartarsery"

#1 1930 DeSoto 8 Roadster
#2 1928 DeSoto Coupe. This one is for sale for 18K
#3 Jaguar Mk 2
#4 Jaguar XK140 Coupe
#5 1935 Lincoln V12 Coupe. I don't want the fuel bill for this. This was imported in the 90's and the guy that imported, reported the best fuel economy(?) was about 5MPG (That's the best he got from it......), but it went like .........I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

#1 Mercedes 300 Limo (isn't someone here restoring one of these)
#2 and #3 Mercedes Gullwing (Couldn't get close to this to get a good shot)
#4 Morris 840. My fathers first car was one of these
#5 Morris 840 Ute. Cute, and well restored
#6 Rolls Royce Phantom 1. Note the Gold plating, yes all of the plating on this car is gold not chrome. This car was originally owned by an infamous local bookmaker. It is a well know car in Melbourne it was owned for a number of years by Harold Paynting (He wrote a number of collectable books on vintage cars in Australia)I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
