Classics in the park

The Classics in the park show was on last Sunday. The show was great and, as usual, I took my camera.

There was your standard mix of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maseratti, Lotus and Jaguars. There were also some great old rides like a Clement, Alfonso XIII and the Napier L48. The Napier L48 was the first British car to reach 100 mph. It's top speed was clocked at 209 kph. Not bad considering that that was 100 years ago.

For those of you from the "there's no replacement for displacement" school of thought the Napier L48 had a 15lt donk producing 190bhp @ around 2200 rpm.

I've also added some higher res pictures. High for my camera at least. They are 1800 x 1200. They are around 800KB.

Some people put up boards describing the car, some don't. The more people put up descriptions about their car the more info I'll be able to put up.

The green one (:)) with the fin behind the drivers seat.
Nice XJ13 too :) in [img]http://www.mybarina.com/albums/classics-in-the-park-Jaguar/DCP_8165.sized.jpg[/img] .
That's the D-type behind and a C-type ( NOT an XK150 ) behind that.

Green is nice, but racing Jags look best in [COLOR=Navy]Ecurie Ecosse blue[/COLOR] :)

Thanks for that. I've updated some of the text in the Jaguar albums

Correct, took the rear quarter lines and didnt' look close enough - or the lack of bulbpous headlights would have given it away ).
The album has the car from another angle and it is 100% C-type
