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.    oh of course I had to take pics.. Mrs Q was sayin there you go again another car/bike and another pic.. ha in Padstow this one.. outside Rick Steins not his though I dont think     Me thinks THIS one was his..         dunno what this was- but it sounded nice... real throaty..     left hand drive beetle  oops- got stuck in the middle of Bath

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...
