Classic Cars – Caught in my headlights

Model T, of a sort

Evelyn and I saw this drive by on Lakeshore Blvd. in Burlington a week or two ago, and then later, came across it in a driveway. I was pleased, as I’d been driving when I first passed and didn’t get a photo, but, that rectified I came home and sketched. Not sure what you wouldContinue reading “Model T, of a sort”

Beat up Beetle – La Condesa, Mexico

I may have overworked this one a bit much, but I was enjoying myself… 🙂

Jaguar XJC sketch

A quick sketch of a Jaguar XJC at British Car day from this year… 🙂

Mercedes 220 Fintail

This is a lovely Mercedes that I saw in La Condesa, Mexico City, as the owner was re-parking it without having fully removed the car cover – So I was walking by at precisely the right time… 🙂 I’m guessing that this is somewhere around 1960 to 1963… it was in amazing shape! I guessContinue reading “Mercedes 220 Fintail”

Skoda in Prague

I’d never seen one of these before – it’s a “Skoda”, and I know the brand (one of my friend’s Chris, at the RCA was a big Skoda fan ;-)… but I had never encountered one of these… This is a “Skoda Felicia”… I’m guessing that it’s an early 60s model based on the addedContinue reading “Skoda in Prague”

Old MGB, Ancaster Swap Meet

This was a lovely and very old (my guess is a ’64 or ’65) MGB… the view doesn’t show it well, but it had a nice tonneau cover, but I think that what drew me to it was its colour – I’ve included a little “chart” on the lower left hand side to give youContinue reading “Old MGB, Ancaster Swap Meet”

Series II E-Type

This is a sketch/render of a lovely Series II owned by someone I met through the Jaguar Club. He was kind enough to take me for a drive in his car prior to me buying mine, which was a big help as it allowed me to get an idea of what it is, because, althoughContinue reading “Series II E-Type”

XJ220, Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum

In the “better late than never” department – This is a Jaguar XJ220 that I saw at a jaguar Show at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum last fall… surprisingly, there were two XJ220s there – the one illustrated and a yellow one that I da seen at British Car day a couple of years ago.Continue reading “XJ220, Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum”

Jaguar XJ220

A long awaited sketch from a brilliant show I went to about a month and a half ago. This was a show at the Canadian Heritage Warplane Museum in Hamilton, and it was a show dedicated to Jags, not planes, though Evelyn and I spent about half our time toddling through the amazing aircraft andContinue reading “Jaguar XJ220”

Mercedes 300SL Prototype

This is a prototype of the Mercedes Benz 300SL at the Mercedes Benz Museum in Stuttgart. There are some noticeable differences from the 300Sl as released, but they are subtle. This took much longer for me to do than usual as I wanted to capture the colours of the car, and it was reallyContinue reading “Mercedes 300SL Prototype”
