Near to us is a vintage Bentley garage. We often stop to ogle them through the window.
Andy was tipped off by our Morgan owning neighbour, that they were having an open day and afterwards, the cars were going on in procession to Goodwood Motor Circuit.
We didn't get to the garage open morning, but we did mange to get ourselves and Meirionwen to Goodwood to see the Bentleys.
Most of these are racing Bentleys!
Can you just picture them careering around a race track?

Gorgeous Jaguar too.
And my goodness, what a glorious day it was! Look! No cardigan! I'd say it was bordering on being quite hot.
I wore a me made dress, my patent heels, Hell Bunny belt, vintage gloves and hair scarf and my daisy cardigan.
The cars were plentiful and so beautiful!
This though, was my favourite. So, so regal!
We pottered about, looked at the cars, chatted to people who were admiring Meirionwen, watched the cars (not the Bentleys) going around the circuit for a bit, then went for a walk before having our picnic.
Fab!!! I love old Bentleys. Andy's haircut is brilliant. Melanie, your sweet face reminds me of Lillian Gish, and is so lovely with your personal style era.
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you! I often get compared to Lillian Gish, it's a huge compliment, so thank you again xxx
DeleteHow fab to have that garage on your doorstep! Such grand old beasts, aren't they? I bet they looked wonderful at Goodwood, hopefully accompanied by people as stylish as you and Andy. xxx
ReplyDeleteThey are stunning, all the ones at the garage are owned by wealthy people who store them there, although now I say that, I'm wondering if the majority might belong to the same person as it's know as the *insert name here* Collection.
DeleteYou know, the drivers were all dressed as your typical country set types, quite unassuming, though they did wear goggles! xxx
Those vintage Bentleys are fabulous, and you aren't looking too bad yourself! In fact, you are looking the part in that wonderful you-made dress. And no cardigan: does that mean Spring is on its way after all? Love that photo of you and Andy in your sunnies! xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you Ann! Spring was certainly here, albeit briefly, as it then turned, but it's looking quite spring like once again here xxx
DeleteOh I love vintage cars, so these photos are gorgeous to see! Love the sunshine in these shots too and you look lovely here as well. - Tasha
