We got to Lyndhurst in time for Coffee & Cake
A gorgeous little town with "a good butcher"
says Alison.
They also have this...
The nicest Ferrari-Maserati dealership
I've ever seen & some fabulous used cars !
On to Lymington where Alison's Parents had lived.
Manor Cottage...
They also ran a Chandlery down on the quay.
The buildings are now used for other types of business.
Lots of yachts & memories, they all sailed from here.
The High Street...
I had the best F&C's I've had in the UK.
Yum.
One of my Bucket List was The New Forrest..
I would have needed hours but couldn't stop.
We saw a couple of the ponies & cattle wandering about.
Very handsome.
Of course then there was Beaulieu.
The National Motor Museum.
Always TOP of the Bucket List.
A Bugatti Type 15
The motor is fantastic.
"I used to have one exactly the same !"
Mk 1 Capri.
Some of the displays are great.
This never existed when I lived in Ringwood.
Maybe because it's in the UK.
But was cute none the less.
A couple of Lalique radiator Mascots.
They were georgeous.
Another English record breaker.
A steam driven monster, 149 mph from memory.
I had to put this in.
Double click for those interested.
You may have noticed this in the background...
Don't see many of them in Aus..
Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4 Grand Sport
The Record Breakers
And of course there was this.
At last...
This beautiful painting of Bluebird at Lake Bonneville.
Then there was this.
What can I say...and an Elite in the background.
The BRM 16 cylinder.
Audio playing in the background...
Awesome.
And a bit of GP history..
Lotus 49
Then this unique display
racing cars through time.
I walked past this old Rolls Royce,
it was running and oh so quiet.
There was also cars from the movies.
Zao's XKR Jaguar with extras...
I could use them!
Guess who's
His Mini.
From The Top Gear display...
I had to follow the Lotus theme
didn't I ?
And blow me down this Elan 130 Plus 2
for sale outside 19,995 Quid.
The Combi behind was 18,500.
Plus LOTS LOTS more...
