Text and photos on this page contributed in 2000 and 2001.

This first picture shows Carol and Don Wright, and myself (HJT), at the Beaulieu Autojumble in September 2000. Note how Don wears a really heterical Bentley shirt; he had just bought it there.

I found some rimbellishers that my car had lacked for many years. This made me so happy that I decided to wear them myself first.

 
All three large cars, including the Rolls, lined up and waiting for the three-door garage (shown on the pictures below) to be built over them, plus a closer look at the 1976 two-tone grey car (Vehicle 1M20132):

This is the cocktail cabinet of Don's article in the July 2001 issue of The Driving Member. The article is shown next to it (click to enlarge). The collection of glassware was bought from a local store.

The above pictures were taken before the car was resprayed. The picture below (click to enlarge; impressive!) is after the respray, and the replacement of the new-style doormirrors by old-style front-wing ones. With its new coat the car won the "Best of Show" award at the 2002 and 2003 Annual Rallies of the DLOC of North America.
