Today we had Luke Deal from BBC Radio Suffolk come down to join us at our Hanger at Bentwaters. Luke popped down to chat with our director Craig about our Morris Minor, our raffles and all things classic cars! Luke is a classic car enthusiast himself and was keen to have a go in our Morris Minor. Take a look at the behind the scenes photos and interview below.
Luke talks about his fascination for Morris Minors as his father ‘had many’ he tells us; “my father had many a Morris Minor so it’s a privilege to be here this morning to find out more about this classic car.”
Luke took a look around our little Morris and remarked “Something that strikes me is that It’s in immaculate condition for something that’s so old”.
We love getting involved with local businesses and people so it was great to have Luke down at the hangar today.

The internet is a wonderful thing. No sooner had we released images of our latest competition car did we hear from Daz!
Daz resides in Lancashire and happen to stumble across one of our advertisements for the competition. He was shocked to see that the car that Charlotte was happily driving around the Suffolk roads was in fact his old from many years ago.
So don’t just take our word for it, hear it from Daz ‘I used to own this very car, superb little MM, had fun in this!’
Great to hear from you Daz…
