Please be advised that this is a staged photo, as there has been little actual need for sun protection in my hometown for the last 36 hours or more. But should sun glare become an issue while I'm out on the road this morning, the sun visor is right there at my fingertips.

"Our next mission is on Belsavis, a planet with beautiful plants and also big ice caves. The ice caves, that's were we are going to. There's a large prison facility so we have to find a entrance into the ice caves, but we have to be careful because of the scout droids they spotted there. A gunship dropped us off a few miles from the ice caves, so the droids couldn't see us coming. When we arrived at the ice caves we saw some droids guarding an entrance, so we had to take them out."

I've been going through my automotive shots recently trying to find a bit of inspiration and I was pleasantly surprised with this image which I've given a 'croppus maximus'!!
This is a shot taken at a local macro car gathering last year and this is the front screen of an old Messerschmitt KR200 three wheeler micro car from the early sixties. I have the full image of the car which I will probably post next but I was pleased with this image as it reminds me of an old movie poster with the clouds looking almost painted.
Please view on black and step back in time.

Ken, Hair Fair Barbie, Christie, Julia, Stacey and P.J. have all decided to enjoy the unseasonally warm late-spring weather, and get ready for those long Summer days just ahead. Ken is wearing his original outfit, with a modern sunvisor and black 'thongs' (Flip-flops to our US friends!) While Barbie has borrowed 'Dramatic New Living' Barbie's swimsuit and (Minty!) cover-up...P.J. is wearing her own cute crochet skirted suit ( bought from DeanReen- THANKS Deany...go check out his Etsy store now! It's at www.etsy.com/au/shop/BarbieCollecting?ref=hdr ). Christie's in a 'Butterfly Art Barbie' bikini from 1998, while Stacey and Julia are wearing TNT costumes from 1971 and 1967 ( the VINTAGE one BTW- not the repro one, which I also have and isn't as nice, IMO) ... I made the towels from dollar-store teatowels myself. This is probably my last pic post for a little while, so enjoy!
Carrying a base price of $3,934, standard features now included windshield washers, sunvisors, a thermostatically controlled radiator fan, and a parking-brake warning light.

A rare one year only poverty-spec model with painted hubcaps and no passenger sunvisor. It is owned by flickrite 'Spottedlaurel', who bought it in 2015 from the first owner, and many more photos and information can be found on his photostream.
The photo of the ‘64 Ford Aurora exhibit is from HemisFair '68, the official 1968 World's Fair in San Antonio, Texas.
In its pre-Oldsmobile days, the "Aurora" moniker appeared on this mid-'60s one-off wagon from Ford Motor Company. Displayed at the 1964 New York World's Fair, the vehicle was tabbed Aurora in deference to its multitude of unique lighting elements and control devices. These included a single, centrally located strip-style headlamp, electroluminescent side-spear trim, and an electrochromatic roof and sunvisors whose light transmission capabilities could be varied at the touch of a button. Complementing its unique driver's cockpit-complete with yoke-style steering wheel-was a distinctive interior treatment that featured both a "central lounge" area and a rear-facing "romper room" for the younger set (who needs seatbelts or child seats?). This rear section was easily accessible by drop-down/lift-up tailgate arrangement, and could be isolated from the adult section by means of a retractable window.
A colourful brochure showing the approved accessories available for the 1955 range of Vauxhall family saloons - the Wyvern, Velox and Cresta cars. The three models were largely based on the same body, in line with parent coampny GM's policy at the time, with the Wyvern as the 4-cylinder version, the Velox the 6-cylinder and the Cresta as the higher specification version of the Velox. This accessories booklet seems to cover the various 'facelift' versions that had been introduced up to and including the 1955 style changes to the Cresta.
One of the most interesting things to note is that amongst all the items that you could consider 'embellishments,' such as sunvisors or chromium plated exhaust deflectors, are the numerous things that were considered extras that would become standard equipment such as heaters or screencleaners.
The first page shows the introduction, explaining the various embellishments available for the three models - some common to all three, others only available on the more expensive Velox or Cresta models, and the folding guide page. It shows the first of many colour vignette illustrations used throughout the booklet.
Just to sneak in another very classy Vehicle before the great unveiling later tonight, take a look at our pimped up Mercedes-Benz Arocs Tractor Unit, (PT63 GBN) after having it's Lobar and Spotlight's in the Sunvisor fitted. It also now features some rather nice chrome trimming to the front grill as it is seen here taking on a load of wood.

Experimental chassis / bodywork configuration. It uses Truck T14’s trail truck edition chassis with Truck T12’s cab and hood. Also working on roof for Truck T12 cab without sunvisor. Maybe like to experiment yourself with these two trucks so we have building instructions available for both Truck T14 and Truck T12.
You can use this link to buy building instructions for Truck T14 and this link to buy building instructions for Truck T12.

The cover design is relatively simple based on the V for Vauxhall.
You may have seen further through in the photostream, the surreal sight of an Austin Maxi Pickup - here it is again, encountered in Waimate, New Zealand.
This time, I met with the owner of this one-of-a-kind vehicle (likely in the world), who showed me it close up.
As it had turned out, this was of course originally (like all other Maxis) a hatchback, however it was written off in an accident in the mid-70s.
Rather than the vehicle being scrapped, it was bought at tender by an enterprising panelbeater in Waimate, New Zealand, who - using all steel (no fibreglass) cleverly crafted the car into a pickup. As part of the conversion work and to aid rigidity, the rear doorframes (well, the bottom halves) were welded in place and 'skinned' over.
To carry more loads, the bodywork behind the rear wheels was cleverly lengthened - which also gives more of a proportional balance to the styling. The bottom half of the original tailgate now works as a pickup tailgate, and has been adapted to hinge at the bottom. As shown in the other photos (further down the page) the Maxi's original trim pieces have been either adapted or purposely fabricated to fit with the changed bodystyle, furthering the 'factory look', right down to the taillights and fuel filler lid.
When inside this vehicle, it is just like any other Maxi from the drivers seat with a period sunvisor in place (however the rear window is much closer, and there are no rear seats!) - you will notice two aerials however - that is because it has its original AM radio in the dashboard, and a 1980s era AM/FM/Tape unit mounted underneath.
The existing Maxi technological features, notably its gas suspension, 5-speed gearbox and 1750cc OHC BL E-series unit easily suit this example of "Kiwi Ingenuity" in its 'converted' role. The current owner bought it in 1981, and has kept it in excellent condition.
Customers can also mount a variety of components on the roof, including a sunvisor, LED marker lights, spot and strobe lights, air horns, plus Qualcomm, PeopleNet, and Kenworth TruckTech+ remote diagnostic antennas. To help cover body builder equipment for all vocational applications, the T880 40-inch sleeper was designed with a height – from the bottom of the frame rails to the sleeper rooftop – that is nearly 17 inches shorter than the T880’s 52-inch and 76-inch mid-roof sleepers. The T880 now offers vocational customers three excellent sleepers to best meet their needs and applications. In 2016, the T880 is available with the recently announced PACCAR MX-11 engine rated from 355 to 430-hp and from 1,250 to 1,550 lb-ft of torque.
A warm and sunny 15th October 1977, and we are witness to Western National, Bristol VRT No1071 coasting down Chyandar Cliff into Market Jew Street, Penanze in Cornwall. Judging by the Kent's Cavern and Torquay Model Village posters, the bus looks to have been transferred in from Devon?
To the left of the picture, with the old black Austin Cambridge estate car parked in front of it, is Carnson Guest House, which boasts a TV lounge and bar (wow, I hope that it's a colour telly!), and next to it is Whiteways Guest House, with the post office on the end of East Terrace.
Incredibly, both Carnson Guest House, now renamed Carnson House and Whiteways Guest House are still in business to this day. However, the little post office on the end of the terraces has been taken over by Whiteways, and I believe is used as a cafe/restaurant for the hotel .
Carnson House (note the lettering outside the hotel is the same, just that the 'Guest' as been removed!)

Surrounding the bus is a host of period cars and commercials including a very nice mid-blue Bedford CA van with sunvisor parked outside the Railway Station. As for poor old Western National 1071, she was scrapped in April 1991. :-(

The booklet's back cover features the "griffin" and banner used as the company's logo or marque for many years. The model name "Wyvern", another mythical beast, may be connected with a representation of the griffin.
Second time lucky with this model as my first example arrived with its sunvisor missing and had to be returned for replacement. David Bletsoe-Brown is a Northamptonshire haulage and storage firm, based in Kettering and operating around 40 vehicles, still under the control of the founder. Oxford Diecast chose to model S41 JDP as their first release of a curtainside body on the rigid Volvo FH12 chassis.

The Mini Cooper; introduced in 1961 featured a racing-tuned 997cc engine, twin SU carburettors, closer-ratio gearbox and front disc brakes. The further improved 1963 Cooper S got the larger 1071cc tuned engine, (then 1275cc in 1964) race suspension and better brakes.
Cooper S Minis were supplied to the Australian and New Zealand Highway Patrol. This Special Order 41 (modified inlet manifold, distributor and cylinder head, free flow exhaust) was supplied to the NSW Police in late 1970. Other changes included the addition of the mesh sunvisor, drivers weather shield, Wibroc rear view mirror, driving lights, sump guard, reversing lights and siren. In the boot was a beacon light, safety triangles, axe and pinch bar. Inside; iluminated ,Police, sign, hand held spot light, 2 way radio, fire extinguisher, accessory power socket, extended toggle switches, Tachometer, extra police speedo and siren switch.

Seen outside Winchester Cathedral on the 15th of June 2019 darning the Tour of Legends lunch stop in the Outer Close, this Ford Zephyr was beautifully immaculate, with some lovely period accessories.
The Zephyr was first displayed at the Earls Court Motor Show in 1950. The Mk. I Zephyr and Zodiac were the first British cars to use the MacPherson strut independent front suspension in mass production. The Mk. II Zephyr and Zodiacs had shared the same body as the new Zodiac and Zephyrs launched in 1962, but shared very few body panels thereafter. The Mk. II range was much more popular. A useful modernisation of the original car, the Mk. II added fins and chrome to the equation as well as more interior room. Ford's advertising referred to them as the ‘Three Graces’, implying a feminine and graceful nature.
There is no doubt that the performance of the Zephyr and the Zodiac Series II models was restricted by the rudimentary exhaust system, but with a well-known, Raymond Mays complete engine conversion, it boosted their performance figures. Autocar Magazine recorded a standing quarter mile of 17.6s in 1957. As well as a 3-speed manual gearbox, there was an optional overdrive and from 1956 a Borg Warner DG automatic transmission. At first, drum brakes were fitted all round but front discs became optional in 1960 and standard from mid 1961.
Well I was fortunate to get a ride to sit by the A1 again this week. I was of course on the look out for 62 reg's and new Mercedes MP4 Actros's. So the only 62 reg I saw happened to be this ....... New MP4 Mercedes Actros NJ62WGZ belonging to Dungait's of Morpeth in Northumberland.
I must admit to finally becoming a great fan of this new truck and seeing this one ( a standard UK long distance fleet spec type ) has confirmed my liking.
Two observations in comparison with the earlier model in this fleet....... ( see next shot ) are that the roof is blue not white and the lack of sunvisor also makes it look a little unfinished....!
Celebrating Ferruccio Lamborghini's birth, the exclusive Centenario supercar has just made its debut in Geneva.
Despite that, the 770 HP supercar that'll be available in just 40 examples, 20 Coupes and 20 Roadsters at a €1.75 million (1.9$ equivalent) price tag has already been sold out.
Accelerating from naught to 100 km/h (62 mph) takes only 2.8 seconds, 0 to 300 km/h (186 mph) 23.5 seconds and the top speed exceeds 350 km/h (217 mph). Braking from 100 km/h to a standstill is achieved in just 30 meters!
The Centenario uses mococoque and body made from carbon fiber, tipping the scale at 1,520 kg, 55 kg less than the Aventador on which it is based. It measures 4,924 mm long and 1,143 m high, meaning 144 mm longer and 7 mm taller than the Sant'Agata Bolognese flagship.
The aerodynamics are carefully managed with inlets, large air scoops in the front bonnet, air scoops on the roof, extending rear wing, aggressive diffuser with three mid-mounted exhaust pipes and Y-shaped taillights. The machine rides on 20-/21-inch front/rear rims in forged and milled aluminum, wrapped in Pirelli PZero tires, developed specifically for the rear-wheel steering found on the Centenario.
The interior can be finished to each client's specification and it includes lightweight carbon fiber sports seats, new stitching on the length of the dashboard, steering wheel, sunvisors, rocker covers and new carbon fiber-made inner door panels, wrapped in Alcantara.
Sat-nav with a high-def 10.1-inch touchscreen is at the driver's disposal, along with internet, e-mail, social media, online apps and Apple CarPlay compatibility.
The Centenario continues on the same path started with the Reventon, which included the Sesto Elemento, Aventador J and Veneno.
