Summer classics meet with added B20 GT

[Speedman]

Last friday was my local motorclubs classic night at a pub near us. I normally head down in the Camper for an evening talking cars and chatting, but my brother offered to drive in his new toy, its not a classic, but the other club members seemed to like it. We convoyed with his mate in an aeroscreened Caterham.



Its the perfect meet for a cold one and a chat.



I spied this nice Sonnet as soon as we got there, the owners drive it all over the place, they wanted something that would take some luggage and keep them dry.





Its not a meet without an E Type




;D

Star of the night though was this stunning 1953 Lancia Aurelia B20 GT. It was packed with period Nardi tuning parts and goodies as well as the unusual dash board clock, straight out of a Lancaster bomber! The owner uses it all the time, takes it to Europe and does road rallies as well as the VSCC Pomeroy Trophy.




















I swapped the passenger seat of the Vantage for the 7 on the way home, 10:30pm, warm summers evening, blasting along the country lanes home with only a pair of sunglasses between me and the night air, and the bellow of an AM V8 behind us. Perfect.

I was offered a tatty Aurelia a couple of years ago. Way beyond my wallet and skills though!
Gorgeous cars.

It pleases me a lot to see such a stunning Lancia, and to know that its owner drives it like it should be driven!

There were three of these at the Tour Auto this year, very stylish and graceful.
