On the BEAT!
OK, I did drool near this one. it's owner said he lost the badge on the way up from Tucson on Friday. I can't imagine cleaning those wire wheels though I'd like to give it a shot if I could own one of these!
We just loved looking at this one, except when it was in front of us during the Twelve Miles of Terror part of the run. Stately cars just don't have a place on such a twisty, roller coaster track of a road that's better left to the Lotuses and Mini Coopers that know how to take the twisties!
I tried not to drool too much. My dad would have loved this event and especially this gorgeous 1955 Jaguar XK140 with the perfect red paint. Everyone details their classic cars to perfection for this road trip.
This 1950 Austin beauty was on the BEAT for the first time. It lived for years in a garage in Jerome, AZ, and was recently bought and restored. The perfect navy blue leather interior is original though the paint (English White) is not. It was originally baby blue. A lot of the older British cars have three headlamps.

I had to show this post to my Dad as he's a classic car lover. He was trying to guess the cars and did pretty well. They are all beautiful but you can't help but love the Minis.
My husband had a red mini countryman estate when I first met him, then when that went for scrap his uncle gave him a cream mini which I used to use when I was pregnant. It was a long way down!
(I met a friend of yours yesterday and toady)
Sorry I meant 'today'
