BMW
Two separate displays here. On Saturday, the BMW Car Club had a very impressive of pre-war machines, mnay of which I did not immediately recognise!
BMW 315

BMW 321 - sold as a Frazer Nash in the UK, as most BMWs were until the 1960s

No such challenge in identifying this one, a 328

A separate area included a number of recent models, and several Alpina's. Many of them looked like there were ready for the Gaydon event in a couple of weeks that was not quite to our rather puritanical tastes!

MERCEDES-BENZ
A select grouping of cars on the Saturday, with 2 vibrant yellow SLKs to dominate, but there were some classics on show, too:
(http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r139/colinrear/Historic%20Silverstone%202008/Picture064.jpg)
This 280 CE Coupe 3.5 is particularly elegant:

Later we found a 300SL Gullwing to match

The 2500, a much loved sports/luxury saloon of its day
(http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r139/colinrear/Historic%20Silverstone%202008/Picture256.jpg)
TR7s and 8s were plentiful

CATERHAM
A large gathering of Caterhams from the ages........... lots of different variants, for sure, but it would take a real expert to work out the difference between most of them!

(http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r139/colinrear/Historic%20Silverstone%202008/Picture361.jpg)
No such problem in identifying the C21 model, though
(http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r139/colinrear/Historic%20Silverstone%202008/Picture362.jpg)
Nothing but good stuff in this one! Renault Alpinas, classic BMWs and Mercedes'! Damn! :rockon:
