FobzySales of Vintage cars - Bonhams
September 14th 2008 22:21
It's official, I'm engaged and there are lots of family occasions to attend, chaperoned, of course, and this marriage can't happen fast enough. Early November is planned but you know what grand occasions these things are and both families are hard at it, arranging all in the grandest style.
Mother, of course is a tower of strength, and unfortunately she expects me to be too.
So, I'm afraid I've been rather tardy with this post.
To make amends I am presenting to you a veritable feast of cars featured at Bonham's, just to give you a look in.
Happy drooling.
