British Car Show

[Chris Dodkin]

English Motors at Fairbrook is a unique gathering of fine English motor cars and motor bikes including a judged show and a tour at Fairbrook Farm, a beautiful twenty-five acre horse ranch in Fallbrook, California.

Can't figure out what #6 is. Some kind of air intake maybe? Great abstract whatever it is.

I like the Cortina a lot. (Used to have one,...but mine was a '68. I'm guessing that pic is of a '66 or '67.)
Also the self portrait. (I thought Talbot's were French--Maybe that was Talbot-Lago?)
"More Balls Than Brains"...is that on a helmet?
Detail on the Bentley hood ornament is fantastic!

Great stuff as usual, Chris!

Brian - #6 is the hood scoop on a (modern) Ford GT - gorgeous car - I WANT ONE!

Talbot was a British company, formed to initially import French car parts and then build the cars in the UK.

Later it was Sunbeam-Talbot, then just Sunbeam.

The 'More Balls' was on the helmet of one of the Norton bikes at the show - LOL

The Bentleys and RRs were very nice indeed - a couple of soft tops (aftermarket conversions) - looked like they did wedding duties when not on show

Very nice detail set again Chris. I think I prefer this style to full car shots.
