Since I've only been bringing the Volvo out until now, I didn't think it worth bothering you guys.

However, the time has come to bring the toys out here for the Summer, so the Alvis is coming this week, and the Atom in a few weeks time...

Looking forward to cruising and playing in the passes...

I shall now study this section avidly and learn what I can about classic and sports cars in Switzerland...!

(Oh, and I've been a PH'er since Ted was a boy!)

If I was going to bring out my black 430 F1 spider, I'd consider your offer...

Welcome Bruce!

Nice Alvis too- as you say, pretty rare now!

The Alvis and the Atom have one thing in common - they always raise a smile!

It's only taken me 40 odd years of driving, but I think I've got the balance about right - for me anyway. I'm a firm believer in the aphorism that there is no such thing as the perfect vehicle, so you need a few to cover all the bases

Alvis TE21 dhc for continental cruising
Atom 2 220 for hooning and track work
Ferrari 430 F1 Spider for posing and the odd 'quick' trip in the UK and across the channel
Volvo V70 D5 SE Sport for long practical journeys with the dog
Yamaha XJR1300 for getting around London and the odd jaunt
