Just a nice period picture

I think it was a favourite haunt of the motor trade and journos in the past. Something in my memory was sparked and it made me think of George Bishops column Carte Blanche, that I used to read in CAR magazine in the 1980s. I seem to remember that he mentioned The Barley Mow now and again.

It's The Barley Mow near West Horsley in Surrey.

Eoin Young, Autocar’s longest-standing contributor of the modern era....."A brilliant, self-taught journalist, he will be best remembered for his gossipy, fearlessly written column, 'Straight From The Grid' (later simply 'From The Grid' and then 'Eoin Young's Diary'), that mainly discussed motorsport but covered all things motoring. His lunchtime interviews with famous people – which invoked the name of his favourite Surrey pub, the Barley Mow in East Horsley – were always packed with entertainment and insight."

Lovely pics there Stu, from when F1 cars managed to look pretty and functional.

1967 was the last year when the cars ran wingless and had very little if any sponsorship.

Come 1968 and Lotus ditched the classic green and yellow for the Players Gold Leaf red and white, soon to be followed by BRM using the white, gold and brown of Yardley.
