Final Checks and Adjustments
January 26, 2024
Over the last few days, the workshop team have been completing the finishing touches on our 1959 Jensen 541R. They have fitted a modern but classic-looking radio with DAB and speakers, road tested and obtained all of the details to get the speedo calibrated accurately, adjusted doors and ensured the washers are working.
A bonnet brace has been installed, and some small knobs were fitted to both the sun visors to assist in pulling them down. After the road test, James adjusted the exhaust and a breather pipe that were causing small rattles, ensuring the car is enjoyable and quiet to drive for the owner.
Even More Progress
January 26, 2024
Our very special 1905 Riley 9HP continues to make fantastic progress. Lydia has been finishing the buttoned back for the Riley seat. This was particularly challenging, as the original seat was made from a soft oiled cloth, but she was now using leather, which is much thicker and a lot harder to manipulate.
The flat centre part wasn’t too difficult, but she had to put a lot of thought into getting the pleats in when it came to the curved corners. Once the body of the car is back from paint, Lydia can fit the seat in properly and finish off the top!
Various parts of our Riley 9HP have been in the paint shop with Mauro while Lydia moved on to the running boards. She made the rubber inserts for the running boards and made sure to cut the hatch out carefully to allow for the cranking handle to be easily accessible.
After this, the car was ready to be moved on to the next stage of its restoration.

Our 1993 Bentley Turbo R has been in the care of technician Neil. He refitted the headlight covers before jacking the car up and placing it on axle stands so that the wheels could be removed for refurbishment.
