A fabulous travel trunk, now a coffee table with glass top. It sailed from New York to Southampton on the Queen Mary. From the luggage label
I think the date is 1947. The first postwar sailing was July 31 1947, but I can’t read the full date; it doesn’t look like July, any ideas?

I took this photo of the pink McLaren 470S parked outside the St Pancras Hotel London in October 2023. I walked past it a few days ago & it doesn’t look like it has been moved, but someone is clearly keeping it washed.
