Lovely collection of extremely old cars lined up at Newby Hall back in 2013 with a rare Swift from 1904 in the foreground. The Swift Motor Company was based in Coventry, England from 1900 until 1931. It grew from James Starley's Coventry Sewing Machine Company, via bicycle and motorised cycle manufacture. The Cadet of 1930 was their last vehicle though as they couldn't compete economically with volume manufacturers such as Ford.

Online records say this was registered on the 12th of March 1987, but the show card stated she was first registered way back on the 4th of September 1947, which would make more sense.

The show board was very informative, but I do wish they'd had it stood beside the car and not mounted on the radiator. Anyway, the Model T (colloquially known of course as the Tin Lizzie at least in the UK) was produced by Henry Ford from 1908 until 1927. Generally regarded as the world's first truly affordable car and which supposedly came in any colour as long as it was black!

Finally managed to find a half decent shot of the beautiful green Mustang I posted detail shots of earlier in this album.

Another detail shot of that gorgeously green Mustang ... expect a few more of these in due course!

Sadly, there were only a handful of American cars at this show. This is a detail shot of one of them ... a Mach 1 Mustang or so I believe?

This highly modified Standard Flying 12, which was built in the UK by a guy called Dave Rothwell, is one of my all time favourite British hot rods. The car actually started out as a 4-door saloon, but that was before Dave got his hands on it and transformed it into the stunning two-door coupé you see here. Completely rebuilt to an impeccably high standard (no pun intended), the car now features extensive modifications throughout including: Volvo V70 2.5 litre 200BHP Engine; Toyota Supra 5 Speed Manual Gearbox; Budnik Billet Wheels; and Full Leather Interior With Porsche 911 Seats. I saw the car advertised for sale for a mere £25,000 just a few years ago. Now, normally, I wouldn't use the word mere in the same sentence as that kind of price tag, but believe me the car would have been worth every single penny. The fact that it scored heavily in the Best In Britain competition and has even been featured on the Standard Motor Club's website says it all.

The business end of a fifth-generation Mustang ... up close and personal.

Okay folks, anyone fancy a crusty pie?

The Triumph TR4A, built between 1965 and 1968 by the Triumph Motor Company in the United Kingdom, was not surprisingly an evolution of the TR4, but updated somewhat with a new chassis.

Three men no doubt trying to decide exactly what that funny little car is!

The Pembleton captures the business-like looks of a classic 1920s open top sports car, but is actually a recent introduction to the kit car market. As with most kit cars a single donor vehicle is required to complete the car, most commonly a Citroën 2CV, although this one is BMW powered, and it's claimed one can be completed for as little as £1,800. The chassis is ready to accept the all major components and in no time will be on its wheels. The body panels are cut from aluminium using the patterns supplied. Long or short-wheel base 3 or 4 wheel chassis are available and all incorporate a steel frame around the cockpit.

Never really seen myself as a Morgan 'man', but in this colour I could be tempted!
