Apologies if i've got any of the makes wrong

A truly great day out, I'll definately go again next year. the helicopter numbers were well down on what was advertised. but, I can't fault the awsome collection of cars

Great selection of cars,and very well captured.Have you any further info on the Napier aero engine--No.of cylinders,capacity,engine name etc. From the photo it appears to be a 12 cyl.job-but, I could be mistaken.

Sorry I've no other info. on the car, apart from it sounded amazing - especially the back firing. When I looked at it closer it certainly wasn't in showroom condition and it looked all the better for it - it was certainly well used. As soon as as the driver got back to the paddock the first thing he did was remove his helmet and put on his bowler hat - a great English eccentric!
