Lovely stuff Felix. Any Ferrari 250 GTOs?

With a Harrod's "Ford Products built in England" delivery van behind? Obviously a Jaguar D-Type (and the owner still races it - the windscreen is in less-than-pristine condition.
Photos taken at the British Cars and Motorcycles Show in Winter Park, Florida 5-APR-2003.
Guess I shouldn't bother posting some of the other TDs, TFs, MGA, MGB/MGC, Spitfires, Minis, .... XK-120s, Alvis, '36 Rolls lying about...

Beautiful! I hate to see car laid up in storage & it's good to see the owner uses the car for what it was intended - racing

Any Astons? Lagondas? Bentleys?
I'd like to see the Rolls...... & the Alvis.....

The only Aston I saw was a Vantage - on the way out. Bently Azure coupe by a dealer .. No Lagondas. What surprised me is that some of the cars in the show are still "daily drivers"
Another Jaguar

'36 Rolls Royce

Alvis

Oh - and the one behind the Alvis is a '50 Riley sedan

awsome shots felix, love that car, i saw it at the Pebble Beach Concorde d'Elegance when i was young, a very beautiful car
Any Ferrari 250 GTOs?
that is an even more beautiful car

the 1962-4 Ferrari 250 GTO's are probably the most beautiful car's ever made!!!
