Another shot from our Saturday Moorsbus outing, and here we are in Kirkbymoorside. Just before the bus arrived I spotted this pulling up on the opposite side of the road.
I know very little about cars, but I did recognise this as a vintage vehicle, so I took a photo. According to my online search it is a 1934 Rolls-Royce 40/50 HP Phantom II Continental, one of only 281 of that design built. If anyone can confirm or refute that identification, I would be very interested to hear from you.
It is a good illustration of the need to keep a camera close to hand wherever you are!
What a great rare find! I love it when you catch these moments. It’s a beautiful car, I wonder if it was on its way to a wedding being a Saturday? Fav.
Stunning model and capture. BTW, I was disappointed with my shots of Pickering station, especially when compared with yours! I guess there weren't as many interesting engines about and also we didn't have long there.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
It was fortunate that we were well placed to see and photograph this as it pulled up. It would certainly have been an interesting experience to have a ride in it. I did wonder if it was linked to the car auction company in Thornton Dale that features in its own tv series.
