Keith's 'Blue Lena' came up for auction a while back, if only it could talk, what tales it could tell...
He had another S3 Flying Spur in the '70s in which he crashed and did a runner, leaving one of his passengers to deal with the aftermath!

what a car

I think Id rather have a flying spare than a continental

Don't know this guy but the picture is great

John Cooper out for a test drive on the A3 Kingston-By-Pass, Surrey (near Surbiton/Tolworth)....

'New Death Star prototype launched by innocenti...' 'I wanted tartan red and black but all they had left was Fiesta Yellow and basket weave beige...' 'Have modded Moke will travel...' 'Warwickshire idyl...'

The Gala Cosmetics factory and tower was a local landmark which stood beside the southbound carriageway of the A3 Kingston by-pass 1945-83. If you look at the period Gala job advert above the building and tower with the black diamond shape sign can also be seen in the background of the photo with John Cooper overtaking a double decker bus.....the Gala site is now occupied by modern industrial buildings and offices.

The Death Star is situated at the Farnesina Palace in Rome. Originally the sculpture was part of the Italian Pavilion at 1967 Montreal EXPO and was created by Arnaldo Pomodoro

Isn't this building on the way to Southam MMC from Coventry?

Yes it is, Long Itchington

Thank you Google Maps.

Yes I've past it a few times this year

Yep that's the one - been driving past it for nearly thirty years and never seen any signs of life whatsoever. It came up for sale a while ago, out of my league though sadly.
Always liked the look of this S...

That Ferrari GTO on JAP wheels was Jack Le Fort's, at Brighton Speed Trials in 1968. Its in front of my Unipower at the '68 Boxing day sprint in this photo...
