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”
Lightweight E-Type
When I arrived in London in 2004, I had ensured that I would have a little more than 3 weeks to settle in prior to my Masters course beginning, in order that I could toddle around and visit places I’d been before as well as discover the new to me. One of my first visitsContinue reading “Lightweight E-Type”
Rothmans Porsche
This was a nice surprise. The pub I used to frequent in London (it was a good pub and very close to the RCA) was called “The Queen’s Arms”, and right across the road from it was a place called “Coy’s of Kensington” which sold classic, exotic and sports cars. One evening I headed outContinue reading “Rothmans Porsche”
250GTO
Another car from Nick Mason’s Ten Tenths Collection. This was a beautiful Ferrari 250GTO that was up on jackstands being worked on. The GTO was between a couple of Bugattis and a Dark Green Ferrari 512BB. A great place to spend an afternoon.
Maserati 250F
More from Nick Mason’s Ten Tenths collection… This is a Maserati 250F – I don’t know the exact provenance but these cars were driven in F1 by the likes (amongst many others of Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss. The 250F raced from 1954 until 1960. One of the brilliant things about Ten Tenths collectionContinue reading “Maserati 250F”
Maserati Birdcage (Tipo60/61)
This was supposed to be a quick sketch and render but became a little more complex – but let me start at the beginning. In 2005 I was living in England, and a very close friend of mine was doing some work for Maserati which included going up to the Cotswolds to interview Nick MasonContinue reading “Maserati Birdcage (Tipo60/61)”
