1963 Jaguar SS100 Engine Rebuild
March 14, 2019
We have now completed the rebuild of our 1963 Jaguar SS100 engine. The vehicle has been tested and the engine is now running beautifully. We have re-faced the cylinder head and block, re-faced the inlet manifold on both sides. The bores have been honed out and new piston rings have been fitted. We have also ground the crankshaft on mains and crank for rear seal conversion. We have fitted new bearings, re-assembled engine and successfully refitted. The car is now ready to go home.

The final fit of our 1960 Jensen 541R body shell to the chassis. The body has been fixed back on to the metal framework and the complete unit has now been bonded back on to the chassis ready for paint preparation to begin.
Assessing work required on our 1980 Porsche 911
March 14, 2019
Our 1980 Porsche 911 has been dry stored and off the road for 4 years now and unfortunately it is evident that it has suffered in areas and most certainly requires attention.
Our original plan was to run her through an MOT to pick up any areas that would deem her to be un-roadworthy but raising her on the ramp we can see immediately the areas that will require welding.
Some decisions will need to be made as to the future of the car and when work is likely to start but this may end up being a full restoration.
Although it may not seem good news right now, once restored, this stunner will be back on the road and admired by everyone!
1957 Mercedes 190SL Ready For Sale
March 14, 2019
We are currently preparing our 1957 Mercedes 190SL for resale. This very rare and unique car has been sitting for a little while and although in great mechanical order she is not running perfectly so we are spending some time getting her back to her best and ready to find a new home.
As you can see, we have dropped the fuel out as it is very dirty and old so the system will be cleaned out followed by new fuel being added.
The system was flooding so we have removed the air filter set up, free’d up the needles and adjusted the carbs.
The car is once again running beautifully and ready to impress at any show this summer.
This incredibly rare, original and award winning 190 SL was first registered on 11th November 1957. Purchased for the sum of £1957.00 by Violet Dorothy Mills, part of the Bertram Mills Circus family who’s residence in Knightsbridge is present on the original registration book.
The car comes with a huge file of history, original documentation, family-trees, newspaper clippings, awards, MOT’s, service files and receipts.
This beautiful example comes un-restored, un-touched and totally original. The car has aged wonderfully and it’s rarity in this form makes this a fantastic investment opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
