My next project "La Petite Chanteuse"

Hi Ian

Sorry that you missed us at Motorclassica. For American readers this is Australia's premier car show. With the crowds attending I am not surprised that you did not find me. This photograph was taken early Sunday morning. The show is held in Melbourne's 1880s Exhibition Building which was painstakingly restored to its original colour scheme in the 1990s.

For people who may question the validity of those Michelin tires they were first introduced in 1935 and are still available but unfortunately only in Metric wheel sizes. They were the first LOW pressure tire (20 psi) and give both a very quiet and comfortable ride and fantastic grip.

While digging through some old boxes of stuff I came across this 35mm Colour Transparency.

This was the first Lagonda Rapier I have owned and restored. It had been standing under a clump of pine (fir) trees for some years and had largely been trashed by children "playing" in it. This was probably taken 40 years ago. Somewhere I have some black & white prints of the as found photographs I will add if I can find them. My second attempt at scaning it was better. Perhaps one of the moderators can tell me how to erase the first (thumbnail).

Not the one I was looking for but an old b&w showing the same car during restoration, probably in the late 1960s-early 1970s.

(Bernie, I don't know how you can delete it but I am able to delete it for you. I deleted the one that I think you wanted gone. - MCHinson)
