Oil leak on Vauxhall Omega

Dave is now looking into possible reasons for why the engine on our Vauxhall Omega is leaking. He is currently in the process of replacing the Dowty washers and seals on the oil cooler. There also appears to be a leak coming from the front pulley so this will also need investigating.
New arrival: 1960 Rover 80
September 16, 2022
Mary who we have known a few years loves her Triumph Spitfire and we have looked after it ever since our first encounter.
Unfortunately for husband Bill she is not so keen on the Rover 80 that has been taking up valuable space in the wood store and coming up to another winter of non-restoration it was definitely on borrowed time.
Mary contacted me (Gordon) and said would I consider buying the car as they really wanted to see the car restored. How could I say no?
Tomas and myself had a mammoth task of releasing the Rover from its comfortable home and onto a trailer that we doubted we could remove from the their small cottage garden and driveway.
2 hours of loading and constantly telling Mary that we may fail in our quest and with the reply that the winter logs were being delivered it was never a doubt that Bills Rover was destined for departure.
We managed to get a few pictures between, swearing, turning wheels with flat tyres and desperately not trying to destroy the pergola. You can see the joy on Mary’s face and the not quite so happy Bill.
I even got a message from Mary the following day thanking us for all our efforts and tell us that the logs had arrived.

Sometimes, when fabricating parts it is much more time and cost effective for Clinton to produce more than one item. In this instance, Clinton has been working on re-producing the rear demisters and vents as well as bonnet stops and clamps.
With so many successful Jensen restorations now complete, we have the tooling for a lot of the parts that are required on the Jensen. If you are looking for Jensen parts for your own car or need assistance with fabricating certain parts for your classic car feel free to get in touch and we’d be more than happy to assist.
Work starts on Jensen rear seats
September 16, 2022
Lydia has now started work on the rear squabs on our 1958 Jensen 541R. the same techniques used on the front seats will be used on the rear so any existing leatherwork will be used to make up new templates or new templates will be drawn up by hand to help make the rear seats.
Lydia is now sewing up the leatherwork to make the shape required and the foams are also be cut and fitted to the base boards.
New bottom section fitted

Monty and Christian are working together on our Daimler project. We are hoping that the body repairs will be completed within the next week or so. The front arch lips and rear bottom sections have now been shaped and welded into position.
