CALENDAR GIRLS

One of the most well-loved features in Roadscene are those illustrated by Alan Barnes, whose eye for classic vehicles pictured in a period setting is unsurpassed. The only problems are, that we cannot produce them within our pages as large as we would like and they are not in constant view. So, to solve that problem, Alan has provided a selection of images for the 2009 calendar that we have produced especially for the readers of both Nostalgia Road and Vintage Roadscene. This article sets the scene on what could be hanging on your wall during 2009.
