Regent Street was given over to vintage and veteran cars on Saturday giving us the opportunity to examine them up close and even take a ride. Sunday morning the vintage cars set off on their annual London to Brighton rally. Would have been rather cold for most of them.
Ah, the Golden Age of Motoring; if a little cold and wet. Lovely machines.
ReplyDeleteAh I was hoping you'd been there. I would have liked to have seen this myself.
ReplyDeleteI always think of the wonderful film Genevieve from 1953 when I see one of these old motor cars.
ReplyDeleteOooo. very lovely. I do love a vintage car!
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
ReplyDeleteOh what a sight to enjoy, and I agree, a warm coat, hat and scarf would have been the order of the day.
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to take a ride in that! Gorgeous cars! :D
ReplyDeleteNow that looks like a fun thing to see.
ReplyDeleteLove these cars. Great image Mo.

Fantastic! I'd spotted that event but was otherwise engaged - you got some great shots there!
ReplyDelete«Louis», being an old car buff, was delighted to see this!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't realised the race is still running. It's as much part of history as the cars are.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture! These beauties are a far cry from the cars with have now with air conditioning systems, and parking assistance!
ReplyDeleteHey, I remember this from last year :) I took lots of pics.

It was kinda surreal. :)
Oh, how stunning. I just love vintage cars! What an opportunity to see them up close too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a memorable rally for Regent Street! I wish our neighborhood held vintage cars rallies too. Also, most of my friends love vintage cars, especially the 1970 Chevy.
