I loved the "K3 magnette" looking exhaust on this car... the 20's version of a "rice rocket boy racer look"... as this was all show, no go.

The cutaway Austin engine.
P1010012.JPG
Complete with gearbox and clutch. Even though is is a outdated side-valve, flat-head engine, it is very nice to see how it all works in slo-mo.

Big Healeys

This was my favorite car of the event, a pre-war Aston-Martin.
P1010026.JPG
It is a 1934 Mark II.

It just had an "all-business" look to it.

It looks as if the whole boat tail comes off to reveal a boot and spare wheel.
P1010030.JPG
I love it.

I like the plate. Not a big fan of Metros, but I can appreciate the attraction they have on some people.
