Wet, windy and bloomin' cold counts as wild doesn't it? Well it does in my book!
A few weeks ago I was invited by journo Ross Alkureishi to a multi-car Abarth shoot for Classic and Sportscar Magazine at the private Turweston Aerodrome near Silverstone, Northamptonshire. So, this morning I rose at 5am
(wanted to beat the traffic), loaded the car with sandwiches and a full flask and set off northwards. The weather was horrid
, not proper rain but damp enough to throw salt and grime laden water over my clean beastie
)Waste of time cleaning it on Sunday
). I arrived early and waited for others -
First a red Strada 130TC, then Middle Barton Garage arrived with a Fiat 750 Abarth Bialbero 'Double Bubble', a nice 595 SS and a 1000TC racer. We were then joined by Ross and his 124 Abarth and a chap called Tim with his white 1000OT (850 Coupe based car).
Lots of standing around in the cold while the photographer did his stuff - interior and engine shots, then a spot of lunch before 'action' shots on the runway.
A couple of taster/teaser shots below.
Car of day? Surprised you need to ask......
