She follows a roped pathway to a Rolls Royce Silver Ghost (Reg: FY 718) which she looks over. The owner of another red coloured open-top Silver Ghost (Reg: LC 7507) works on a tyre while spectators look over it. Next to it a family sit beside their white open top Rolls Royce (Reg: XL 2354) enjoying a picnic as visitors walk past. Two brass plates below the windshield of the red coloured car seen previously identifies it as ‘Duchess’ which was once owned by the author Rudyard Kipling.
