yeah and he definalty knew his cars, bit scary at times being a passenger with him as most of the time the throttle was firmly planted to the floor wherever he went, he was never taught mechanics he just picked it up as he went along

my condolences.
loads of nice stuff there, a man of good taste.
i lost my dad 20 years ago but he sadly didnt photo document his old motors as well as your father did.
i have one photo of him in a willys jeep from his days as a mechanic in the RAF, based in egypt in the 50's.

Great selection of pics to look back on and remember the good times - Looks like he loved the big saloons - especially the 'Z' cars.

my dad used to go to car shows aswell at one stage he had over 10k photo's of cars and lorries etc at the moment there still boxed up at his house. he kept records and documents for all sorts of things taking at least a few photos of every car he owned we just need to try and find them all and identify them
