1929 Morris Cowley Two Seat Tourer
April 18, 2018
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Many of us have seen this delightful car the shows and fetes around Woodbridge by its owner Rod ‘Holden’ Satchwell. The Morris has a very interesting history. It was one of a batch of chassis sent by Morris Motors to Australia in the late 20’s or early 30’s. There the chassis was received by Holdens who manufactured the two seat body you see on it today. The Morris is also unique in that it has a ‘rumble seat’ where normally the boot would be; unfortunately the ‘rumble seat’ will only take two very small people or one adult in very cramped circumstances.
Until the Morris was repatriated to the UK in 2008 the Morris had spent its entire life in Australia and it is believed that the car had four owners during its life in Australia; what is not known however is the precise mileage of the Morris.
The basic mechanical specification of the Morris is as follows:
- Engine – 1200cc 4 cylinder side valves.
- Gearbox – 3 speed non-synchromesh.
- Clutch – double declutch.
- Brakes – rod brakes on all 4 wheels.

Revolve Festival – Coachella 2018
April 18, 2018
Coachella is one of the largest, most famous, and most profitable music festivals in the United States and all over the world.
Each Coachella staged from 2013 to 2015 set new records for festival attendance and gross revenues.
The 2017 festival was attended by 250,000 people and grossed $114.6 million.
This year’s event played host to clothing brand Revolves classic MG display with international superstars from all over the world loading pictures to their social media platforms of them in or around the setting.
Here we have models Jena Frumes and Jordan Carver taking advantage of the amazing backdrop.
I wonder which future auction we’ll see this classic turn up in. Will being seen by billions all over the world make this classic a valuable little piece.

Refurbishing our front and rear leather seats
April 18, 2018
When our Daimler Super V8 arrived with us for a general check over, our task was to get her back on the road after a year in storage and to get her ready and MOT’d for the summer.
One of the areas that we were asked to look at was the tired looking front seats.
As with a lot of Jaguar/Daimlers the interior was starting to show signs of wear, particularly around the bolster. A simple but costly resolution would be to re-cover the seats but this was not the direction we wanted to take.
The car is lovely as it is and does shows signs of age. The owner wished to keep it this way and did not want the interior completely re-covered.
We decided to treat the front and back seats to a full refurbishment. This involved feeding the leather with new colour. We also needed to imprint the seats with the leather texture to keep the continuity of the pattern throughout. The seats have been completely transformed and this exercise, along with a full exterior and engine detail has given our Daimler a completely new lease of life.
The sun is shining as I write this so I do hope she’s out and about in Framlingham right now!!
