This is our latest classic purchase, built on 28th November 1949
It’s a rolling (and mowing and harrowing!) restoration

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
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

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:

An excuse to post a couple of shots of my old R8 Gordini:

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