Absolutely gorgeous vehicles! I like them all but that 1912 van particularly caught my eye.

Question - some of the cars have what appear to be running or blinker lights mounted on top of the fenders. Is that a modern requirement or something that was era correct?

Great pics, Thomas!

You guys are tough in the Kingdom! In a weather like this, I wouldn't want to leave my house at all, let alone drive any of my classic cars. Thinking back, I don't think any of my babies have seen a drop of rain since . . . (thinking). . . many years ago. Then again, that's why I live in California, first and foremost. And for still cheap gas, of course.

Hi Daniel,
It was law to have a lamp at most 6 inches from each side of the car in England back in the teens/twenties. Most of these have now be converted to indicators as has been done to our Tudor (Pic 9).

Bernard. The Republic of Ireland has nothing to do with the United Kingdom and I am sure they will not want to be thought of as subjects of the British monarchy.
However, you are right in that the Irish, like the Brits too, would not let a bit of rough weather spoil a good day out.

Thomas, great photos of great cars. FYI #34 is a Lagonda, #38 is a Daimler and I think #39 may be a Sunbeam.

Chris,
thank you for bringing this to my attention. I totally forgot about the secession and it actually made me read up on this.
May God save the Queen. Or not.

Hi all,
I think I'll keep it to under 50 photos a page because if you have a slow internet there is nothing worse than a extermely long thread full of photos.

Thanks Steve and Chris.
