As you can see, it’s not looking at it’s best but still great to see and know the history.

Stripping back our Jensen FF
November 10, 2017
Work is well underway now on our 1969 Jensen Interceptor FF. She’s in for some paintwork issues that need our attention on the front, in particular the bonnet and off side wing.
This work involves stripping back and respraying the bonnet and as you can see from the pictures, a lot of filler has been used previous which we will need to address.
Stripping the Amphicar ready for paint
November 10, 2017
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Dave is now well on with stripping back our 1965 Amphicar ready for paint. We have since discovered that the original colour was white and not red as we first thought so we will be reverting back to the original specification in the paint shop.
We are taking lots of images as we progress with the re-build to ensure we have a good selection to reference if we need to.

Removing the Amphicar wiring
November 10, 2017
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As we always say, it is very important to take lots of pictures when carrying out a restoration. Angles you don’t think are important and areas you think may be easy to refit can sometimes come back to bite you.
If you find yourself scratching your head because you can’t quite remember what went where then having ‘too many’ pictures might be your saviour.
We are now looking to remove and/or tidy the dash wiring on our 1965 Amphicar. As you can see, it is a bit of a mess behind there as things stand.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”16219,16220,16221,16222,16223,16224,16225″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
