Capesthorne Hall - Sports Car Sunday - 20100801

Anything non Jaguar listed here, as it was Sports Car Sunday and Minis 2nd Summer Show
there was a large presence of varied Minis. But then there was also a Rolls Royce display
with a 1920's RR Siver Ghost 7.45litre but wait for it 40-50hp

I'll try and go alphabetically

Alvis

I know very little on this marque so if you know the model please





With the grand hall in the background



Aston Martin DB5 (Red) & DB6 (Grey)

Now how often do you get a pair of these parked nexted to each other today. I think it was the DB5 that was out the same time as the E-Type but was treble the price and even though treble the price they still have their problems as the D6 was playing up yesterday.



DB6





Compare this engine to the Famous XK - I asked him to open the bonnet to be nosey





Interior



The car was owned by a man who only spends 5mth of the year in the UK he polishes it and thats it

DB5

Even though older a much nicer car

So, we'll Start with the

Silver Ghost Tourer 1920 Value Circa £120 -150K



I spoke to the owner he was such a down to earth guy and he had just been on tour with it and hadnt had time to wash it before the show when talking to him they called the RR in the ring for judges to mark, he said he wasnt going in as it was dirty, I said get in their, so he started her up and went in - 1st Prize - Result

This turns so the bonnet opens



What a complicated steering wheel





Check the BHP for the engine size





I think you need a plumber more than a mechanic here
