Some interesting and unusual things from the British Car Council annual car show




Pictured below is an actual WW2 Brockhouse Corgi GI camp scooter from the archives


 Looks like a hoodscoop more commonly found on 60's race cars and hot rods

 the backseat of this 60's Aston Martin is nearly couchlike

 starter fluid, don't leave home without it


who knew a Morgan glovebox made a good cupholder?


Al Davis custom? Huh... another bit of trivia lost to the past. Who or what Al Davis radios were known for will likely never be known or recalled. Certainly it isn't referring to the LA Raiders former owner



A contrast of 2 MG As... normal and hot rod





Side note, the MG's are the most produced sports car ever. 

2005 Morgan, an Aero





3 hood scoops... the 1966 Rover

Gourmet food trucks are perfect for car shows, there are even brand specific trucks.. like at the British car show, a British food truck!


I didn't expect to see a 440 6 pack at the British Car Council annual All British Car Show




This is a Jensen Interceptor, from the same Jensen company that partnered with Healey to make the Jensen Healey sports car. The Interceptor was more a muscle car, in the same configuration as the AC Cobra. A British sports car with an American big block. The original engines in the Interceptors were built with 383s, but a 440 isn't so different in size, and with a small amount of trouble will fit in any engine bay you pull a 383 out of
