Oct 20: British cars meeting, 257 pics

[TT]

It took a while to edit the pics and get ready to post them, but here they are. Two weeks ago I attended this big British cars even that takes place every year near Lausanne. It's really something: a small village on the lake shore, well in excess of 1'000 cars littered everywhere and invading the place! Most of them are maybe "less interesting", but in the lot there always are tons of pearls! Waiting for them to arrive is something impressive. A river of cars flowing for hours. As last time, the weather was at first a bit British, but luckily it soon opened up for an amazing day!

Like I said, many unusual TVR, like those stunning Tuscan V6 and V8 :love:

Love the S2 and blue DB6. Never seen a picture of a blue one I think. Picturewise one picture stands out of the others IMO. The one of the red/white Elise S1 driving past a wall, with the bird out of focus in the bottom left corner of the picture. Great pic!

[Smartdriver]

Wow, great events and very impressive numbers of car!! :good:
There is also hated car by Mr.Bean!! :lol:
Thanks for shots.

[TT]

Indeed, like you, I knew absolutely nothing about vintage TVR! Maybe simply because they started to crawl out of UK in recent times only, with recent models. But hell, in their past history there are some stunning cars! I really hope they'll find a way to live on now that the times aren't bright for them!

[TransAm]

Some great pics and great cars, thanks TT!

[79TA]

Wow, what a great collection of cars!

[davide]

I fully agree with you, that Sagaris sure is stunning! :drool:

[chest3r]

WOW!! What a great lot of cars!! I didn't know any of those old TVR but some of theme are damn cool. The 2500M and the last Tuscan V6 and V8 are stunning !!! :love: :drool:
