The Mercedes SLK 63.
The Smart 4 Two. Jezz loved this so much he went on to own one.
In a informational cinema about Mercedes.
The ticket that gets stamped and allows you entrance in to Brooklands Motor Museum.
You have to book to go on the retired Concorde.
A 70s piece of memorabilia, the Raleigh Chopper bike. I had three throughout my childhood because sisters stopped using theirs. We had a blue, yellow and orange one.
We used to refer to it as the smaller version of the Chopper, still by Raleigh, the Grifter.
It was built in 1951 for the RAF and last flew in 1976. It has been located at Brooklands since 1988.
I don’t know what I’m talking about at the best of times and this is no exception… lol. But the closest I can get to naming this, having googled it is that it is a: Thornycroft six-wheel-drive, straight-eight aircraft crash response truck. Nope, me neither!
Googling this brings about a couple of names: The Range Rover Gloster Saro fire engine and the F743 MDN fire engine.
This is the G-BBDG Concorde and first flew on the 13 February 1974. It was used for testing purposes and the aircraft flew a total of 1282 hrs 9 mins; her final flight was on the 24 December 1981.
An electric 1960s milk float, a very common occurrence on the streets of my youth.
