Silverstone Classic



A few weekends ago my wife & I went to the Silverstone Classic. A weekend calibration of classic racing cars. We had not been there for years that many in fact I did not recognise the place. I've shown a couple of tasters but here are some of the stars of the show for me.

 MK1 Lotus Cortina a very rare car




Triumph GT6
Adrenalin ride for this kid in a Caterham 7 round a figure of 8 track. 15 quid a shot and I turnd it down




line up of 7's





from across the pond a Mustang





the badge on one






like this
An AC Cobra




This was what it was about but I only watched this race




Lotus cortina MKII




Mini Cooper




Mini Marcos. It's a Mini based kit car
Cool hotrod




Drag Raceing




lot's of these on show



and a few of these





more of these, Might have guessed I love Mini's
Last time I saw this was in 1976 racing at Silverstone , fastest car I have ever witnessed going round the track




there were two of these





and one of these RS2000





Lot's of Austin Healys like this Frogey









I'll end with my favorite the Mini and he knew I took the photo as he floored it
