Event date: 20 February 2022
Last Sunday was a great morning out for all who attended the Lindsay Fox Car Museum site visit.
The collection is housed in the historic two storey red brick Queens Warehouse at Docklands. From my rough count there were up to 50 immaculate cars on display, with more cars housed elsewhere, ready for rotation duty.
There were many cars from many eras.
-
Volks Wagon Beetles,
-
Porsche speedsters from the 1950s,
-
Porsches through the 1960’s and up to the present with an extensive line of ‘electric blue coloured’ cars,
-
1930 Mercedes Benzes – immaculate condition,
-
a 1950s Gullwing Merc., and Convertible SL,
-
SS, XK 120 and XK 220 Jags,
-
Healey 100M works version,
-
Ferrari, Maclaren, Rolls Royce, etc.,
Too many to mention and more than enough to satisfy most tastes.
Attendants ran casual tours to discuss and answer questions on the cars – most enlightening. For instance, the 1950’s Porsche Speedster on display, is the car produced one chassis number away from the car James Dean died in.
Future expansion of the display is currently in the planning stage, which can only improve the enjoyment of visiting this Fox establishment.
Lindsay deserves a great vote of thanks for sharing his love of motor cars with the general public.
