Went to the Classic bike show at Staffordshire showground at the weekend. All sorts of interesting stuff there including a lot of motorbikes of all types which Bonhams were auctioning. Prices seemed high to me, but I'm out touch on this stuff now.
First time seeing this piece of Allen Milyard's work 'in the flesh' which was nice.
Snapped these at a talk by Allen Millyard, 'Skid' and Henry Cole. Would have been nice to have heard a bit more from Allen, but Henry Cole had the majority of time with the Microphone. Allen did run up, and rev up, the bike. The torque reaction looked quite extreme.

Took my dad to the British Motor Museum yesterday, lots of very nice cars as you'd expect
They have quite a few prototypes from various British marques
4 seater TR7 was actually quite good
This one however, well, words fail me

I like the fact you can wander round their storage area, some interesting stuff in there.

That's the 112" wheelbase forward control prototype vehicle nicknamed 'Buttercup'.

Didnt they use the Maestro body on a freelander platform as a test mule for the running gear?

First pix, what's the orange car right side of the green one ?
Well from the sills down, plus a tin opener for the boot floor...

Doubt it, the running gear was metro, with a maestro diesel gearbox.

A very cool design that was inspiration for a lot of designers.
