Classics at Penshurst Place

I had an impromptu visit to Penshurst Place over the weekend to check out some of the cars I grew up loving—now known as 'Classics.'

Coming from a mechanical background, I remember many of these makes coming in for MOTs, repairs, and servicing. Back then, as mechanics, we were often nonplussed—'Oh geez, it’s another old, crappy Mini'—but now I’d love the chance to work on one again. If I had the money to own one, that is, since they're not cheap now. I remember selling mine back in the day for £250; you could easily put a zero on the end of that figure now.

Anyway, enough reminiscing. Here’s my selection of pics from the day.
