It has been a week of automotive sensory overload in and around London, Goodwood Test, Salon Priv\u00e9 Tour and Concours, St. James’s Concours of Elegance and today the perfect conclusion, the Grand Chelsea Rendezvous. I need a rest………………<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

For reasons that are not clear, but almost certainly financial, the Chelsea Auto Legends Show has slipped into history. So here today, as a substitute, is a kind of Cars and Coffee for the Embankment. An interesting selection of cars showed up, some with real history, even the replicas had patina.<\/p>\n

There is something comforting about this kind of informal gathering of petrolheads, I hope that it will become even more common in and around the capital..<\/p>\n

Here is a small gallery of the participants.<\/p>\n
