1953 Riley gets a 2nd breath as a sports car, with a Volvo turbo engine. This got my attention, but not enough to buy the magazine



the magazine is Practical  Performance Car  http://ppcmag.co.uk 
they have nothing about the car on their website, typical magazine website. Months after they've taken the photos and written the article, they still won't have the info from a magazine on the shelf simultaneous on their website...because they figure you won't buy the hardcopy if you can get the info for free. Right now I can't find info about the car or the owner on the web

What the new Mini coupe looks like





Quite a variety of Rolls Royce
And Lotus changed a lot too
Best display









 above, best cultural interior that fits the car show
 Quite a variety of Bentleys too


British cars that were at the show, Alpine, Austin, Delorean, Jaguar, Rolls Royce, Land Rover, Berkley, MG, Morris, TVR, Cooper, Triumph, Rootes, Morgan and maybe a couple I can't think of... but the number of Britsh built cars is surprising... and if you wonder why the new Mini is at the British car show... when it is a BMW... and you'd think German, well, it's built in Oxford Britian. Has 20 some percent of it's parts from France too.
