Run out, Easter 2014

I thought I would take the 16/50 out for it's first proper run of the year. Back in about 1930 Rover took a 2-litre over the Wrynose Pass to prove how good it was, I thought it would be fun to recreate one of the photos they took that day at Ulpha Bridge.

This image is cropped from the original brochure, hence the wheel in the top right of the picture. Terrible tinting of the original picture.

I couldn't stop for long enough to pose properly as per the original, there is too much traffic nowadays, plus it was Easter Saturday which made the traffic even worse than normal. I didn't want to spend ten minutes putting the hood up either!
