I went to the local (30Kms away) classic car museum a while back.
Took some shots of some of my favourites but the lighting was very harsh. There are a large number of high windows and big bright lights. Hence a lot of glare. Best I could do. Hope some of you like them.

Wow an EK Holden who would have thought it was a classic car exhibit. We had a station wagon I'm sure it was EK. Electric wipers, weren't they vacuum the previous model? 1961 or 62 and Dad bought it 1964. Kept it until 1985. I did my drivers licence test in it, 1970 when I was 15.. It rarely spent a night not under cover, they were well known here for rusting away. And so, very rare now. 127 or 139 cu/inch motor from memory. You've done well to isolate the cars in your photos, but I see some very unusual motorcycles in the background too. Any closeups there? Best wishes. Andrew.

Great job with these classics. Harsh lights? Glare? Can't get much worse, but you have done very nicely in those conditions. Brightly painted sheet-metal and bright lights? Recipe for disaster that you have worked through. Now, why does the driver sit in the passenger's seat?

The Alvis brought a tear to my eye. I lived in London for many years and owned one. Matter of fact I owned two (not at the same time) I think the first one was a TD, the gear box was amazing, German, a ZF, very positive, clicky. The next one I had was the last model they made, a TF, 3 carbs. automatic, Borg-Warner, not as much fun as stick shift. Look carefully at the Alvis photo above, the bottom of the grill, a hole,
yes, a starting handle, a crank fits in there. Dead battery, no problem, one turn and 'Bob's Your Uncle', starts right up. Loved that car.
