Elva GT160, Race Retro, Stoneleigh The week started with a look at the 40" tall Elva GT160 with bodywork designed by Trevor Fiore, that came along to late to impact on Elva's fortunes from a new coperate strategy. MG KN University Motors Speed Model, Brooklands Double Twelve This MG KN University Motors Speed Model Magnette was the subject of Tuesdays blog, if it looks familiar that is because I originally incorrectly identified the car as an MG Type NA.

Lotus Excel s. e., Family Clubs Day, Castle Combe Yesterday's I looked at some of the improvement introduced to the Lotus Excel models introduced between 1982 and 1987. Daimler Majestic Major, Classics at the Castle, Sherbourne Panels gaps were not a big concern in the late 1950's but a top speed of 120 mph made this Daimler Majestic Major a sports saloon and it had new fangled disc brakes to match it's potential for speed.
