Delivering and Collecting in Brighton
November 6, 2017
It was a long day for Craig and Dave as they set off for what should’ve been a relatively easy trip to Brighton. We had our 1973 Jaguar E-Type to deliver and returning with our 1949 Bentley Mark VI Special and 1965 Amphicar. The journey there seemed relatively trouble free but the same couldn’t be said for the return leg.
What should’ve been a 3 hour trip turned into a 7 hour trip with the M25 around Dartford being at a stand still for hours.
It wasn’t all bad as we had this beauty sitting beside us for the entire journey, a stunning Jaguar E-Type roadster. We were very impressed with the fact that she kept up with the modern day traffic congestion brilliantly, covering approximately 2 miles in 3 hours, that’s good going!
First off the trailer was our 1973 Jaguar E-Type (WWB 493L) looking glorious in the Brighton sunshine.
Then on to loading up the 1949 Bentley Mark VI Special onto Dave’s open trailer.
Before finally loading up the 1965 Amphicar into Craig’s covered trailer.

November 6, 2017
Our 1973 Jaguar E-Type 2+2 Series 3 arrived with us needing very little. She was very much a usable car so a quick re-tune to the engine before a thorough clean and detail and she was good to go.
Her final destination was Brighton so we were all in bright and early this morning (5am to be precise) to get her loaded up before Craig and Dave set off on the journey.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We have now so close to completion on our 1949 MGYT restoration project.
We are just waiting on a part to be manufactured for the side screens and then our final task is the jacking ram system. Having sourced a set of original rams we needed the assistance of a hydraulic expert to help free them up and undo years of corrosion.
Unfortunately they were unable to release the rams so the system is now back with us for plan B.
Lucky for us, the project can complete with or without the rams in place so these can be fixed into position at a later date.
Here are a selection of images taken last week, the registration plate has now been fitted as well as the brand new hub caps.
It’s the littler items of a restoration that seem to make the biggest difference.
