Greystone Mansion Los Angeles concourse

I was in LA in May for work and Jonathan took me to the concourse at the Greystone Mansion. Some rare and amazing cars. More car posts to come.

An incredible Aston Martin DB4 Zagato, one of the most elegant cars ever built in my book. Perfect colour and beautiful lines.

Love the '63 split window vette.

My favourite angle of the C2 hard top, so distinctive.

The iconic Mercedes 300 SL in convertible and iconic coupe form. 

Love the matching luggage + those incredible doors.

Just love these details.

A rare piece of Italian style, love the way the windows meet.

That badass stinger hood scoop.

McQueen style Jag SSK

The classic sportsman. Love that varnished timber.

The iconic late 40's For woody wagon. I love the roof slats and detailing. This one was perfect in every detail.

A super rare 50's DeSoto with gorgeous details everywhere you look.

Easy Tiger

You've got to love the simplicity of these gorgeous black & white photographs - an expansive desert, a naked model and a chained tiger. Lovely work Kerstin, she's an LA based model/designer. See more (or less) of her at. . .

Iconic Style

It's about time

My good friend Jonathan Ward from TLC & Icon in LA has a serious operation going on and is building some awesome cars. He's known for his Icon and Dog projects along with his Derelict custom that recently made the cover of Hot Rod magazine in the US. He has great taste and a discerning eye.

Jonathan in the office working wonders on CAD.

Gorgeous restorations from TLC down to every last detail.

A very rare early Land Cruiser - love that patina 

Jonathan's wall of inspiration

JW's old school laser cutter - no CAD here just cut & paste paper templates.
