Would love to have a 34 Singer & a 54/55 Riley in my Garage


Thank you for your feedback and comments Ken. Apart from the early Wolesly I wouldn't say no to parking any of the others in my garage!!

Fine set of vehicles Thorny Devil. Wouldn't mind taking a spin in that Sunbeam Tiger!

Thanks for your comments Don. May be not as good looking but I would not say no to taking the Daimler Dart for a spin either.

Very nice set - I’ve owned 4 of those cars - the MKII Jag, TR3, MGA, and Anglia (plus a series 2 Sunbeam Alpine, not a Tiger)


Thanks for your feedback and comments Trix. Hopefully the photos brought back some pleasant memories for you.

I'll take the Sunbeam Tiger as well.


Thanks for your feedback black mamba. You might have to join the queue for Sunbeam Tiger.

A very comfortable ride down memory lane - thanks for the images. Love that TR-3, even if it isn't red like mine was.

Sometimes I wonder if MG offered the A in any other color besides Old English White.


Thanks for your feedback bflood. I have seen MGA's in many different colours but not sure which are original or repainted.

The Sunbeam set my heart a flutter! I’ve always loved the lines of that car!

Thanks for your comments Stan. I also have a soft spot for the Sunbeam, particularly the tiger, and although I think the Daimler Dart is a little ugly I wouldn't say no to it or the MkII 3.8 litre Jaguar either.

Britain's connection with Australia began in the latter part of the 18th century. Australia's first non indigenous settlers included convicts transported from England. By the beginning of the 20th century the non indigenous population of Australia had reached 3.8 million, most of which including convicts and free settlers were either English, Scottish or Irish, or their descendants.

With such a strong British influence, British cars became a common sight on Australian roads from the 1920s to the early 1970s. In the beginning cars were imported fully assembled but as demand grew many were built from a combination of imported parts and locally manufactured components. During the 1950s British cars outsold all other makes in Australia.

To be continued.

Thanks Thorny for the great representation of British cars of which I'm a fan. I look at my Miata as an old reliable MG WITHOUT Lucas electronics. I like and know them well except for the Wolesley. These are excellent photos of these gems!


Ha! That's how I look at my Miata, too!

I Loved all of your pics, especially the Sunbeam Tiger
I do believe that the "Tiger" model had a Ford V8 engine (260 CI or 289 CI) in it.
I remember seeing one when it was new. As the driver "Rowed" through the gears I couldn't catch up to it . . . .
Wow!,

Thanks for your feedback and comments Jimmy. You are correct the Sunbeam tigers were fitted with Ford V8 engines.
