Love the French spirit of making the most out of their small cars. Some were harder to spot than others! My favourite, the beautifully kept Renault 11. Vel Satis yours for 1,900€ #French #Frenchcars #classiccars #everydaycar #Peugeot #Citroen

A very pleasant way to spend a day in the Gloucestershire countryside. Topped off by the sight and sound of the magnificent BRM V16 continuation. Thank you for your hospitality @brm_racing. #BRM #V16 #Prescott @BugattiOwners #classic #motorsport #racingcar #hillclimb

Delighted to be amongst the many hundreds who thronged into Westminster Abbey to celebrate the life of Sir Stirling Moss. Determined yet modest, his name not only lives on in the world of #motorsport but will forever be interwoven in the British language. #StirlingMoss
