This area (South Downs) is classic car heaven. Lots of wealthy people
around so they tend to be top of the range motors. My neighbour has a
showroom condition 1920's Packard (and a steam roller). Across the road
is the tenant of the manor house with a rather nice gunmetal grey
E-type. Daimler V8s are actually fairly common around here and seem to
be preferred to Mark II Jaguars.

On a regular basis we see an influx of cars from between the wars and
sadly I recognise only a few of them. Bullnose Morris, couple of
Bentleys and the rest mostly register as "oh look at that" followed by
"damn haven't committed it to memory".

A great day out in Alresford not long ago when the Armstrong Siddley
owners club arranged a day out. Almost every parking space on Broad
Street occupied by my favourite marque.
