Afraid his classic collection is now more interesting than mine, although not so extensive!
I might have purchased it from him as I bought it in 2000, he lived near Corby if my memory serves me correctly.

I have done 120k miles in it in the last 21 years.

My wife has a 2018 ZS, then I've got these, a 2005 Buell Firebolt which I bought May 2008, and a 2017 Royal Enfield Continental GT 535, which I bought in March 2019, with a mere 79 miles on the clock!

Neither on my driveway currently, hence the new addition of a 'modern' 75

The 1960 100 was our daily driver - 2 owners from new with 70 odd k on the clock, needs a lot of minor remedial work on it now. The 1950 75 is being heavily modified, but should remain looking factoryish, apart from the largely later bodywork, 3 ltr engine etc .

His name was Terry Kendall-Torry, and he lives in my village which is about 15 miles from Corby - not sure where his company office was. I do remember a trip in it to a classic car show at Alexandra Palace - the noise it made when queueing in London certainly turned heads!

Nothing quite as special as some of the previous posts but we have this on the driveway in addition to the two ZTs.

I have this as well.

And periodically when I want to annoy the neighbours even one of these.

As well as the 75 we have these three. Desperately want another convertible after selling the Tomcat but can’t decide between another TF or a MINI

Only other car on my driveway is my 1960 Morris Mini, I've had the drive resurfaced now so must get a better picture.

Or another tomcat. I can't imagine a summer without the tomcat now. We even just bought a new house on the strength of the garage being climate controlled so she can live in there with V8 002 while they are on sorn for half the year.
