Mr Bertram Mills, one of the greatest showman of modern times, was brought up in a family that was for generations attached to the coach building trade. Recognised as one of the finest judges of horses in the world, his name is well-known in the racing world. He achieved fame as the promoter of great Olympia Circus and in 1934 he offered £10,000 for the capture of the Loch Ness Monster.
Our 1957 Mercedes 190SL was registered from new by Dorothy Mills of Knightsbridge, London.

Tamas is busy templating the side windows of our 1967 Jaguar E_Type race car. Being a race car recreation the windows will be manufactured in perspex rather than the traditional glass to give the look and feel of a race car. The front side windows will also have a large slide opening for ventilation with the rest of the screens being fixed into position with no opening mechanism. The template will be slightly larger that the original glass windows as it is our intention not to fit the bright-work trims that you would ordinarily find around the edge.
Tamas has been working on the window mechanisms of our 1962 TVR Grantura this week. The frames are now in position and he is now concentrating his efforts on improving the movement of the mechanism as it seems unnecessarily tight to operate.
