A Unique Arrival
November 26, 2020
Although we’re a classic car company, sometimes we get our hands on other unique transportation devices, such as this late Victorian bath chair that Gordan has purchased!
We’re not sure of the exact history of this wheelchair, however, we know its roughly late victorian, otherwise, its history is an open book!
Gordan originally purchased it as a possible decoration piece for his house but has since decided it would make a great quirky signature piece at our hanger!
Bath chairs themselves were originally designed by James Heath of Bath in 1750. Mainly designed for the elderly in its former years, this wheelchair device later became popular at the seaside. The design enables it to be pushed from the back and steered via the rod at the front.
The RS Turbo Story
November 26, 2020
Our 1988 Ford Escort RS Turbo has had quite the interesting back story.
Originally from the sunny south of France, it was picked up and restored by its second owner Sean Swift who also bought the white escort pictured below but found it was in such a poor condition that restoring it would leave him at a loss.
Sean then brought them back to the UK where he started his beautiful renovation of the grey RS Turbo which made its way to us, with very few miles on the clock.
Unsurprisingly we’ve had multiple offers from the team to run it in…
This is how the RS used to look before is renovation:
And this is how it looks now, after Sean’s clever handiwork and a photoshoot with our marketing team:
