These are all nicely kept old cars.
Thank you NMGal. It is good to see some of our motoring history being preserved and lovingly taken care of.

I really relate to the MG. I learned to drive on my older brother's 1952 MG TD. It was black with a red interior. I don't remember if the interior was original or if he opted to put the red one in himself. I soon learned you had to be prepared to deal with a few mechanical gremlins, but it was a fun car to drive.
Thank you black mamba.

Fabulous pictures!
I live the ‘two seater's.
Your images made me smile on this dreary December day.

That's true of almost every British car I've owned/driven/worked on. One fellow told me, as I commented on the oil leak in his [make and model withheld to not cast further aspersions], "It's OK. It's just marking its spot!" 
Owning a classic British car can be challenging at times Fred.

the rover is really cool
Thanks Luke. Rovers of that era were a solid well built luxury car and are still a desirable classic.

Another set you have nicely captured.
I found the various 2-seaters more appealing cars in this set... although I probably couldn't get my old body in and out of any of them, I have even have difficulties with modern sedans... they all seem so low to the ground.

Thank you for your encouraging feedback Killroy. Unfortunately I share your concerns about my ability to thread my body into the confined spaces of some of those classic sports cars.

Great! I had a Sunbeam Tiger (Rootes Group) and an AH Sprite, alas, no photos. Now I can revisit those memories.

British cars were a common sight on Australian roa... (show quote)
Another very nice set Thorny. It occurred to me that most of these cars are shown driving by you on a road. How did you figure out what models, etc., they were as they passed by. If you then found them all later and asked about them, that's a lot of work. Either way, impressive performance on your part. Kudos.
