Insightful day organised by ABTEM Museums discussing sustainability in #transport and #industrial collections at the London Transport Museum Depot. Also a chance to ride on the first Routemaster and to tour the magnificent London Museum of Water & Steam at Kew. #museums #heritage #engineering #sustainability
It may be dishevelled. It may be painted chocolate over whatever was there to start with. It may have random decals. But this Plymouth Sports Suburban has a certain charm. #Corgi #diecast #diecast car #modelcar #Plymouth #American #classiccar #stationwagon #1960s #unrestored

This morning the air will be filled with the strange sounds of 400 veteran cars making their way from #London to #Brighton . A British institution illustrated beautifully by Robert Ayton for the Ladybird Story of the Motor Car. RM Sotheby’s London to Brighton Veteran Car Run Ladybird Books Helen Day
Thanks to the lovely people at the British Motor Museum , we’ve put the band back together!
Drew Pritchard and I will be driving their wonderful 1901 Wolseley on the RM Sotheby’s London to Brighton Veteran Car Run - and we couldn’t be more excited. Come and find us in either location or shout ‘hi’ en route!
The one serious* photo I managed to snap in an altogether jovial morning in the company of Drew Pritchard and Paul Cowland ⛽️ as they got a taste of veteran car driving ahead of the RM Sotheby’s London to Brighton Veteran Car Run. Catch them on Sunday aboard the British Motor Museum Wolseley. #LondontoBrighton *almost
Bulldog. Williams Towns' edgy design for an Aston Martin #supercar in 1978. The fastest road car of its day, it recently topped the 200mph mark thanks to extensive fettling by Classic Motor Cars Ltd

In amongst all the 50s and 60s classics at the The Classic Car Boot, this diminutive Honda Z certainly gave a pop of colour. Honda's 70s kei car boasted 598cc and leaf spring rear suspension. #classiccarbootsale #KingsCross #classiccars #retro #style #Japanese #Honda #keicar #70s
