old bikes n odd cars seen in cornwall.
 

well thought you might like some of these- might stir memories or comments..

ad a few days away walking.. and weather was good and for some reason down cornwall always see lots of older cars and vintage stuff..

so here you go.. what they are I KNOW NOT.



I am sure the mighty org will enlighten me.

Re: old bikes n odd cars seen in cornwall.
 

Some kind of Austin owners club meet I would have thought.

OK Old cars not really my bag but at a Guess

1st one is an Austin 7
2nd one is an Austin healy but not sure of exact model
5th one another Austin 7
6th one an Austin Maxi, triva fact, first production car with a 5 speed gearbox IIRC.
8th one that you describe as sounding throaty, looks like an MGA.

Im not 100% I'm right mind...

Re: old bikes n odd cars seen in cornwall.
 

the brit MG is a MGA Dave.
