Pete's Car Show, Waltham Chase Monthly Gathering at Ria's Café, Waltham Chase Village Hall. 12th. October 2025

I am still adjusting to using this wider focal length, after all I have had an 85mm lens welded to my camera for the last few months. I had to head back home the other day, get the district line from victoria. Forgot how much fun that station was.

 

Nikon d300

50mm f1.2

I managed to negotiate my way into a closed off community of art studios hidden away by cambridge heath station, as part of a feature I am working on. The studios were built in what used to be an old brush factory.... Awesome backdrop to create stuff in and a really cool place to walk around. they just wouldn't let me in to any of the studios, given that they have had a few turner prize winners its understandable...

Out late one night slightly worse for wear trying to negotiate my way back home through the ghetto's of east London while carrying my slightly less than inconspicous 85mm. We call it the gauntlet..

I liked the light on these cars, a lot. Reminds me of the nice lighting in Tokyo, not the horrible orangeness of London...

 

god that 85mm is sharp.

Brooklands New Year's Day Classic Gathering 2024

Screenshot with classic MG grille, taken from the Classic Car Auctions site.

Original photographer and date unknown.

 

The Magnette ZB replaced the ZA which was launched at the October 1953 London Motor Show. The ZA was the first monocoque MG car. It was designed by Gerald Palmer (1911-1999), who also created the 1947 Jowett Javelin.

The MG Magnette had a 1952 Wolseley 4/44 body, an Austin 1500 BMC engine and a MG grille. Excellent badge engineering so to say...

The Magnette ZB shared the car body with the ZA, but it got a wider rear window and a stronger engine.

The Magnette had leather seats and a wooden dashboard panel. Two tone paintwork was an option for the ZB (specified as Varitone).

Private import from Sweden.

This depicted Magnette underwent a total and successful restoration.

New Year's Day 2016 Brooklands gathering

Weymouth Vehicle Preservation Society Dorset Tour, Sunday 26 May 2024.

Artec has a line of active processing modules that fit inside your guitar. In that same collection of toys they had this one passive module. The QTP "Quadra Tone Peaking" circuit, which is really just a Varitone done with tiny surface-mount capacitors. I figured I'd give it a try. I'm doing #25 right now and it's as good a testbed as any. No terminals for connection, though. You apparently have to solder right onto the trace. Kinda messy soldering on the board, BTW. I was a little surprised. Of course, Macro shots make teeny things seem a lot bigger than they are.

Not painted in Varitone colors, unfortunately. This was the first time I've ever seen more than one Magnette together in the same place.

This is a photo I recently was given of my Grandfather and his Gibson ES-355 with Varitone, Fender Bandmaster Amps, and an unknown piece of Fender equipment on top of the amp head. I'm trying to identify what it is.

I was just outside taking some pictures for work, when this passed by :-)

1957 MG ZB Varitone Saloon - Orlando Auto Museum at Dezerland action park - Orlando, Florida 6/13/21

My dad's in the process of re-veneering all the wood in the Magnette and it's coming out amazing so far. I can't wait to see what it looks like once it's stained and varnished.

Great two-tone example of a 1950s British sports saloon - spotted at the Bluebell Railway's Transport Weekend at Horsted Keynes Station in August 2012.
