Classics On Show 2013

This lovely Pininfarina designed mid-engined sports car was produced by Lancia in Italy from 1975 to 1981. This is actually one of two shots I'm uploading of this car so please have a look at them both and see what's troubling me about it because believe me there's something not quite right. Oh, and while you're at it you might be able to tell me if these models should be described as Monte Carlo or Montecarlo. Wikipedia says the latter, but I'm not totally convinced as the badge has it hyphenated.

Detail shot of the lovely 1967 Morris Mini from earlier in this album.

The AC Cobra, sold as the Ford/Shelby AC Cobra in the United States and often known colloquially as the Shelby Cobra in that country, was an American-engined British sports car produced intermittently since 1962. Over the years there have been many replicas and although I can't find any official records to confirm this isn't original, I think it's highly unlikely. In fact, I've seen other photos of it online which refer to it as an AK 427 so I'm going with that unless anyone out there knows any different. www.aksportscars.co.uk

Spotted these two guys shooting and old Rolls-Royce at the show. Not sure if they were together or if the guy standing was just waiting his turn to get the 'killer' shot of the car head on.

Not quite sure what type of dog this was, but it caught my eye lying there surveying all that was going on around it. Some kind of Wolfhound perhaps?

Apparently the same age as me, but wearing much better!

The Mk2 Jaguar arrived in 1959 and went on to become one of the motoring icons of the Sixties before being replaced by the sensational XJ6.

Loved the rustic authentic feel that this old timer had, but I hate to admit I'm not sure what it is. Can't read that plate in full to check the records and I can't put a name to that logo on the radiator!

I've always loved the lines of the Volvo P1800 ever since seeing the white one driven by Simon Templar, played by Roger Moore, in the TV series "The Saint". This particular one though is the much rarer 1800ES, a coupé station wagon with an all-glass tailgate, which was introduced in 1972. Only around 8,000 of these were actually produced.

Last in this particular album is yet another Austin, which I believe to be an Austin Ten. This one was manufactured in 1934, but for some reason no longer shows up on the DVLA records.
