April 2026 Picture of the Month

 

This month's picture is one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen – quite a statement, I know, but it is stunning. The engine and chassis of the 113bhp 4.1 litre Railton sports car actually started life being used on a farm, before being rebuilt with a sports car body by Blanchflower of Kettering around 1950. It is part of the Shuttleworth Collection. The engine and chassis had been built by the Fairmile Engineering Company of Cobham in 1934 – Richard Shuttleworth had a one-third share in the company.Canon 5D MkIV, 24-105mm zoom lens at 24mm..
