Some pictures of Diana and Myself, where we now live and places around us, things that we find interesting, amusing or just plain weird!

There Seems To Be A Lot Of Cars Coming Up For Auction,
here is another one,
some times known as the 'Corgi' after the toy maker copied it for a range in the 1960s, it is a 1912 Double Pullman Limousine one of the rarest Rolls-Royce cars ever created, the 40/50hp vehicle was delivered new to John M Stephens - a known connoisseur of the brand who had purchased the first ever Silver Ghost that Rolls-Royce delivered, he then employed the best coach-builder of the day, Barker and Co. Ltd, to transform the bodywork, the style chosen echoed the luxurious 'Pullman' Railway carriages pioneered by American George Pullman,
with its perfect provenance and 7.3 litre, six cylinder engine still running smoothly, it runs at 15 miles to the gallon and can cruise at 50-60mph, so cash in hand make your way to the Goodwood Festival of Speed on Friday, June 29, you better have big hands, it looks like it is going to go for £2,000,000 or more!
