my non-Porsche picture of the day

James, I love your b&w pictures of a bygone age when life was simpler

This is our latest classic purchase, built on 28th November 1949



It’s a rolling (and mowing and harrowing!) restoration

My uncle had the bigger Allis Chalmers WF that came over in 1942 on the American Lend-Lease scheme. It was the only tractor on his farm until the early 1960’s

The tractor and implement system that revolutionised farming in the late 40’s and 50’s!

It certainly looks like a T210 ...

Or a 212, but what lovely cars they are, a few rungs up the ladder from my 492! (or maybe 10 rungs...)

Near Redon in France there is a museum called Le Manoir de l'Automobile which have a great display of Renault Gordinis including 3 R8s. Well worth a visit if you happen to be in the area!!

Yup, belonged to Michel Hommell - had its own race circuit and plenty of Ferraris, too. Michel also used to be a magazine publisher – I had an interview with him in Paris one time with a view to launching a new mag in the UK. I believe he has now sold the museum/circuit complex. He also built a limited run of sportsters bearing his name:

Doesn't look too different from when I sold it ~ 30 yrs ago !
