It’s All Coming Together

Brian continues to work on the interior of our 1958 Jensen 541R. He finished cutting the centre section foam to fit around the centre pad before glueing the cover and calico backing down and fitting the brackets.

Brian then installed the rear seat into the car and it looks great!

The interior continues to look better and better with each task being completed. The rear seat looks comfortable and we’re sure any passengers who eventually sit on it will agree too.

Our 1960 Rover 80 Is For Sale

Our 1960 Rover 80 came into our workshop after we took it on as one of our current projects from a previous customer. As much as we think this car has huge amounts of potential and will very likely go on to be a beautifully restored car, the time has come for it to leave us and move on to a new owner, as our workload is too full to complete it ourselves.

There is some rust on the front nearside wing but, other than that, the car is complete and was running as it should when the workshop team was working on it previously.

All the details you need about the car can be seen on MyClassics.co.uk, where the car is listed for sale.

Repairing A Hole In The Bonnet

Not only has classic car technician Alan been busy repairing the fibreglass roof of our 1956 Jensen 541, but he has also been repairing a hole in the bonnet too.

He repaired the inside first by attaching some meshing which would provide more support for the repair. Once the inside of the hole was sealed, he then repaired the outside.

Repairs like this may seem small but they require high levels of skill and form an important part of the overall restoration project.
