\nA 1929 Chrysler 65. This was the basic offering of the range for the 1929 season with a six-cylinder side-valve engine of 3,200 c.c. A 65 model covered 53,170 miles non-stop to set a world endurance record in Germany.

A superb example of a 1935 Hillman Minx. The work of Capt. Irving (of Golden Arrow fame) and Alfred Wilde, this model did much to put the Rootes Group on the international stage.

\nThis is an exceptionally rare car \u2013 a 1946 Bristol 400 Drophead prototype. During 1946 Bristol, with plans to enter the car market, built two prototype saloons and two drophead coup\u00e9s. Despite being used in publicity material and being shown on the Bristol stand at the Geneva Show in 1947, the 400 Drophead programme was cancelled.

\nI have never been a motor cycle enthusiast but I could not resist the temptation to snap this machine \u2013 a Calthorpe motor cycle!

Well, those motor cycles eventually outlived the cars, being produced up to 1938!<\/p>\n
