1967 Jaguar E-Type Racecar – Engine Running

Ady has got our Jaguar E-Type Racecar engine up and running. She’s currently running a bit rich but Ady will have her running at her best in no time at all.

The workshop ground to a halt for a few minutes to hear this beast bark into life. Now this car really does feel like it’s nearing completion.

Some for the future: Triumph TR6 and Porsche 911

We had a brief visit today from the owner of this wonderful iconic whale-tail Porsche 911. This could be a new project for our paint shop very soon with all four arches needing attention.

Having seen our recent Triumph TR6 hardtop refurbishment, the owner of another has been in touch enquiring as to whether we could carry out a similar restoration of his hardtop. Again, this could be a possible future project for our paintshop.

RS Turbo coming soon to the hangar

Unfortunately not for a competition I’m afraid. The owner has been restoring the car for some time now but due to work commitments overseas has asked us to store and maintain the car whilst he is away.

We’ll soon be making space at the hangar for our latest addition.

We offer car storage solutions so if you have a classic that needs a home for the winter please feel free to get in touch to see what we have to offer.

1991 Rover Mini arriving

Tamas has been out this morning collecting the latest addition to our workshops, our 1991 Rover Mini 1000 City E.

The car is almost ready to go, with a little paint work to address and we may look to change the modern hubcaps for something more in-keeping with the character and age of the car.

Mini Deluxe ready for paint preparation

The new metalwork has been fitted and the repairs have been completed. The body shell can now venture into the paint shop to be prepared, ready for paint. The body will soon be brought back to the original Cherry red ready to be refitted.

Due in to the workshops Dec 2020

It has been a 12 year project for the current owner having carried out almost all of the restoration works himself. The car is 99% complete and we have been asked to go over the car and do a final commission to ensure everything is as it should be.

We look forward to see the car in at the beginning of December.

Aston Martin DB5 – Goldfinger Continuation

0️⃣0️⃣7️⃣

An Aston Martin DB5 has just rolled off the production line, more than 50 years since the last DB5.

“The DB5 is, without question, the most famous car in the world by virtue of its 50-plus year association with James Bond. To see, the first customer car finished, and realise that this is the first new DB5 we have built in more than half a century, really is quite a moment.”

Marek Reichman, Chief Creative Officer of Aston Martin Lagonda

What do you think of this new DB5? Priced at a cool £2.75 million, this is one for Bond fans with seriously deep pockets.
