Re: Rare cars you've seen recently
OK, not exactly a car, but a 1930s Sentinel steam wagon.
Quite surprised as to how quickly they get along!

There is a Stanley steamer that attends events around here quite regularly, that seems to go well too.

Re: Rare cars you've seen recently
Saw loads rare cars last night at local classic car gathering at Griffins Head at Papplewick, Notts.
It is an excellent turnout of all types of cars and last night must have been in access of 170+ cars.
Saw a Citreon SM, Edson. Plymouth's, GT40 but rarest of all (only think two world wide) was 1920's Humber.

Re: Rare cars you've seen recently
I saw a PB Cresta, 100Es, Corsairs, Corvette, 55 Chevy pick up, bubble car, 58 Olds, split screen campers, amazing turnout for a mid week. Wish we hadn't arrived as it was getting dark and lots had left already!englishbull wrote:Saw loads rare cars last night at local classic car gathering at Griffins Head at Papplewick, Notts.
