1977 Triumph Silver Jubilee
Triumph created the 1977 Triumph Silver Jubilee to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s Silver Jubilee, the model was highly popular and remains a collectors item with only 2,400 examples ever having been built.
British
Elizabeth
As a guy with solid British heritage I think it only fitting to mention the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee this week, this is a post-WWII photograph of then Princess Elizabeth with her favourite corgi, sitting in what I think is a Rolls-Royce.
Enamel Mug
The humble enamel mug might be an odd thing to love but the little tin cups hold enormous personal significance for me, they remind me of my Grandfather and of camping trips with my Dad when I was still wearing short trousers.
Aston Martin DB7/DB4 Zagato
This is a rather unique motorcar, it gives the first impression of being an early ’60s Zagato but it’s actually based on a DB7 Vantage from the late ’90s. Coachbuilders Evanta stripped the donor DB7 down to almost nothing…
Vinyl Loudspeaker by Paul Cocksedge
This extraordinary vinyl loudspeaker concept from Paul Cocksedge takes now defunct records and moulds them into a dome that has a significant amplification affect on music when you insert a standard iPhone and hit play.
Bomber Boys
WWII documentaries always fascinate me, this film by Ewan MacGregor is a brilliant insight into lives of the Lancaster crews of the war. There is some special significance here for me because my Great Uncle Alf was a bombardier or bomb aimer on the Lancaster during the war, he was one of the lucky ones who survived.
Aston Martin DB4 Sports Racer
This is quite a remarkable Aston Martin DB4, although it isn’t one of the highly coveted DB4 Zagato models it has a history and a styling all it’s own.
Tridays Triumph Scrambler
The first thing many of you are probably thinking is “he spelt ‘Friday’ wrong”, it’s what I thought too when I came across this fantastic Scrambler custom over on 8negro last week.
Kyrano C6 Kevlar Motorcycle Jeans
I’ve been wearing a pair of Kyrano C6 jeans for the past few weeks on and off, I wanted to get a feel for them and see how they’d perform after they’d been worn in.
Connery Cool
Okay so there’s no motor vehicle in this photograph. It’s just unadulterated cool and I wanted to share it.
Original Café Racer
You may not have noticed this yet, but take a look at how low down the clip-ons are mounted on this old Norton cafe racer.
Jensen Interceptor III
The Jensen Interceptor is on the top 10 list of exotic cars I could potentially own, my other top 10 list features cars like the Ferrari 250 GTO, the Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato and the Jaguar XKSS but unless I get really good at hot-wiring, they probably aren’t that realistic.
