Why don't they make cars look like this now? The golden era of car manufacturing is so far behind us now it's pretty saddening.

PS - It has an insect face! A very pin sharp one at that

Cars aren't made like that because of all the rules and regulations they have to meet in this health and safety world we now live in.
I worked for the Rover Group and then Jaguar Land Rover.

Wonderful car and capture, Peter.

Just wondering if the car was parading or racing at speed?

Hi Philip.

It was a parade lap. One of a number of cars behind a "safety car", doing no more than 30 mph at this point I would guess. it was part of Motor sports Day at Brooklands museum, and these were taking place on the mini track at Mercedes Benz World which is next door. There was no racing taking place.

Was you responsible for that 1.8 petrol engine that didn't like head gaskets
