This is in Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car, November issue

love the description of the high tech instrumentation used by team McLaren in early Can-Am days!

Cool Picture From The 60s

"Car-spotting: London, 1963"
BBC News / BBC Autos by Matthew Phenix

http://www.bbc.com/autos/story/20130...ng-london-1963



"This image, from a summer day in 1963, appears to show nothing more than a packed car park at London Airport (renamed Heathrow in 1966, after the hamlet – Heath Row – that was demolished in 1944 to build it). But to aficionados of vintage European cars of the less-than-exotic variety, it is pure gold. A keen eye will spot a Ford Consul, a Riley 1.5s, a Hillman Minx, a Triumph Herald, a Morris Oxford, a Singer Vogue and a very grand Jaguar Mark IX.
What other tin treasures can you identify?"
