| Senior - BHPian | I'll add a couple more oddball/unusual vehicles to the line-up here : These 3 photos show a rare amphibian 4WDer, carrying an earlymini-Honda kiddies bike - the owner said it was WW1 vintage. But to be honest, I respectfully beg to differ!    Hello, aren't you at the wrong venue - the Pebble Beach Concourse is some distance away. A new Ferrari at the rally  A 1930's Studebaker (Dictator??) looking right at home in the venue  Another rare exhibit, an Essex super six, also appears to be 30's vintage - the following 3 photos    An Austin of England Sheerline - I have always that this model has been unfairly sidelined by reviewers. Possibly because of its more humble origins in such august company.  An ubiquitous drone, carrying out its assigned duty of vigilance!  A pair of nicely cared for 30's Austin Sevens, almost like twins. Did they have sun-roofs at the time. If not, this might disqualify it for authenticity.

This is the Rolls Royce on which Dr Rajendra Prasad, then elected as the first President of India was driven to take his oath of office at the Rashtrapati Bhavan.

The Morris 8 is extremely original with all its trims in place, but needs lots of TLC. I am not sure why this was parked outside.
