The world of pre-1949 American hot rods will come to life at this year’s London Concours – and it should be quite a sight.
Rescheduled to 19-20 August, the automotive garden party is coming to the Honourable Artillery Company in the UK’s capital.
Its ‘Speed of Sand’ class, presented by the Ace Café and the Vintage Hot Rod Association, will celebrate the speed events at Pendine Sands, once known as ‘the fastest place on Earth’.
And one of the stars at the London Concours will be Rebecca Dunn, one of just two women to have broken the 100mph barrier in their own cars, and she’s bringing her 1930 Ford Model A Coupe, pictured above.
It’s powered by a DeSoto Hemi 330cu in engine, has Lincoln brakes and Buick finned drums, plus bits from other cars, too.
Another star of the sand, Matt Farrant, pictured above, will be in attendance.
The three-time King of the Beach is bringing his 1929 Ford Model A Roadster pick-up that’s also undergone a transformation, despite being standard for a long time.
