Coming in soon

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Coming to see us at Bridge Classic Cars very soon is a lovely 1932 Vauxhall Cadet from Felixstowe.

A few little running issues to investigate and some work needs to be done on the suspension.

We just love how original she is, it shows that not all classic cars have to be fully restored and have no imperfections to be beautiful.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”7223,7224,7225,7226,7227,7228,7229,7230,7231,7232,7233″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

In the chroming and polishing plant

Thanks to Tony at Wyatt Polishing for sending through some up to date images of our 1971 Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster chrome being worked on in their Thetford workshops.

We’ve been very busy of late and as this project is our own it has unfortunately had to take a back seat.

Work is due to commence on the body later this week as we have lots of welding to do. The chromework is also due back to us later this week.

 

The Mazzy Engine Returns

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We teased you with some images back in Augustย of our 1976 Maserati Merak engine just as we were completing the rebuild. Well next week we’ll be introducing her back to the body shell once again as she gets fitted back in ready for the final stages of rebuild.
