With the help of my friend Graeme Ogg who skillfully added appropriate backgrounds with photoshop  to my photos,  we came up with these. The dealer building is from Menards home improvement store.  The cars are from my collection.   The dealer has LED lighting and a rotating roof top turntable now showing an E Type.  Cars in the showroom are a Triumph Herald sedan and a MGB GT.  Cars from left to right,  Jaguar XJ6 series 1,  Triumph TR3, Austin Healey 3000,  Austin Mini,  MGB roadster, "Bug Eye" Sprite,  MGTF, Triumph Stag, on transporter, Morris Minor,  Land Rover Series III, MG1100, Triumph GT6

This is really impressive John. Graeme did an excellent job with the photoshop on the dealer building and your models put the icing on the cake. I have enough British 60s to keep changing the display over time but your current display is well thought out and varied, but all fitting into that Leland period. I would love this for a home display. That roof display is quite different.

Your display is really nice!  I have a fair collection of British and European cars in 1:43 scale that I really enjoy, so this has great appeal.
