The Gallery Pages & "Car of the Update"

Total updates to 24th March 2008 > 58!

( More Updates than "Others" have images in total...! As for images, there are about 800... )

Welcome to my Gallery Pages, the most visited pages on my website. This is just a small illustration of some of the many many cars that I have transported over the years. All images are my own private collection and copyright (c) Paul Ridley 1996-2008. Please do ask for permission if you wish to use some....

FIRSTLY "CAR OF THE UPDATE"

It is a great privilege to transport some quite superb cars which all have their own individual appeal and interest, which is why I choose to concentrate my efforts on Classic, Sports and Performance Cars. Here I will feature the car transported since the last update that in my opinion qualifies as "Car of the Update"...

So, Here It Is.....

Despite the weather being simply awful for the last few weeks I have been so busy that I have only just got the chance to update my website. This has caused a bit of a problem as there is no outright winner of "Car of the Update" because  quite simply the race was neck and neck between these two and I couldn't decide...

...First we have the 1961 Ferrari 196SP Shark Nose Replica built for and belonging to Chris Rea...

...Second, a truly stunning Aston Martin DB6 Vantage...

...I'm sure you will agree that they can equally claim to be "Car of the Update"!

(( There is a "Car of the Update" archive "HERE" ))
