Thankyou for letting us see that fine collection of gentlemen's sporting cars. Just a bit worried about the V-twin Moggie with the XK140 numberplate.. A great set of pics.

I liked the black and white Austin Healey...Probably because I used to race a red one of those in Kenya. Of course I liked ALL the others as well...What a collection!

Great pictures Joe, you certainly have a knack of getting to see what we can only dream about. Loved the e-type Jaguar as well as the Healey and MG. difficult to imagine that they were once used seeing the pristine condition they are all in.
Thanks for posting.
Regards
Nigel.

Hey Fellas , I'm so glad you enjoyed the Photos ... I thought of you all when I walked through the warehouse bays.. He has three connected together by removing the walls as a passage ways.
The collection is far more extensive than just the Cars. he has all kinds of collectables (sundries) .. racing suits, helmets .. someone's, Shoes! for crying out loud... I'm sure the bloke must be missing them!
There are posters and pictures of drivers, which you can plainly see of course, I didn't recognize any of them , but then I didn't pay much attention .. I focused on the cars and getting as many pictures as I could before he ended his meeting... .
There were a few American Muscle cars.. 67 Pontiac GTO. ..
lovely ... It
It made me want to make a veeroom veeerrooom sound.. I confess ...which I didn't .. out loud anyway
, the panels were straight as an arrow .. the down side of that is... a true collectors car of that era would not have that.. they didn't come off the line that way.. the gaps were never straight, and making them so actually devalues the car!
But it doesn't bother me much...
verrooomm
Cheers..
BTW I used my phone to take the pictures.., LG Stylo 2
