Saab needs it’s sparkle back
September 24, 2024
We last saw our Saab 9-3 in our workshops back in 2019 for some work on the engine and now it returns for a thoroughly good clean. The car has been sitting outside (undercover) for a few years now. The customer is looking to keep the car as a future classic which we believe is a very good move but it is now time to get the car stored away in dry storage.
Land Cruiser Work Begins
September 24, 2024
The owner of our 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser has been waiting patiently for work to begin on bringing this beast of a car back to life.
Now, finally, space in the workshop has allowed work to begin. After removing the wheel arches, rear bumpers, tailpipe, and fuel filler pipe, it was found there was rot at the rear end of the car as well as on the wheel arches, lower rear corners, and the boot floor.
Now these issues have been found, the vehicle will be prepped ready for welding and, eventually, a new coat of paint.

North Norfolk Railway ‘Steam Back to the Forties’
September 24, 2024
I had the pleasure of performing at the North Norfolk Railways annual event Steam Back to the Forties. This is a weekend where the whole railway from Sherringham to Holt is transported back in time to the the 1940s.
The town of Sherringham has joined in on this tradition and is transformed, the shops are dressed to look like war time Britain, which they all do extremally well. You are given a ration book and have to visit all the stores to get your stamps (which is a lovely touch). But the train line is the highlight of the weekend with original classic steam trains running all day to take you to all the vintage entertainment you could wish for. They have actors, re-enactments, war time cooking demonstrations and an array of vintage singers, something for everyone to enjoy at every turn.
Me and The Three Chordettes where singing on the main stage at Holt Station, I also had the honour of singing with “the mini big band with the big band sound”, Skyliner. The steam trains weren’t the only classic vehicles on show as they were joined by some wonderful civilian classic cars and also some military vehicles.
If you love your classic vehicles and fancy being taken back to a bygone era then definitely check this event out next year. I had a wonderful time and hopefully will be back again next year too.
Classic Car Auctions & Iconic Auctioneers
September 24, 2024
Back in 2015, the team behind Iconic Auctioneers (previously known as Silverstone Auctions), formed Classic Car Auctions (CCA). The company has always operated independently of its sister company and has specialised in Everyman Classics. However, things are changing and the two companies are about to merge with Iconic Auctioneers being the name for the combined companies.
The Classic Car Sale being hosted by CCA on September 28, 2024, at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, will be the final auction held under the Classic Car Auctions Ltd. name. From October, CCA will officially be acquired by Iconic Auctioneers Ltd, merging the two companies into one.
Despite the acquisition, the team behind Classic Car Auctions will remain the same, and the auctions will continue to be hosted at many of their familiar venues. However, there will be a fresh look. The auctions will be rebranded as The Classic Sales by Iconic Auctioneers, with a new logo and branding to match.
“Most of our customers know that CCA and IA are sister companies, so bringing them together as one company makes sense, but more importantly it will significantly enhance the exposure of the CCA cars on the Iconic Auctioneers website, which is a much busier site. It will also allow buyers to search for specific marques across all our sales in one place. As well as offer customers a wider range of services including Iconic Auctioneers online, motorcycle, automobilia and private sales.”
Rob Hubbard, Managing Director of Iconic Auctioneers
From early October, visitors to the Classic Car Auctions website will be redirected to iconicauctioneers.com.
On this website, you’ll be able to browse upcoming and past Classic Sales, along with other auctions offered by Iconic Auctioneers. The site will use a colour-coding system to differentiate the sales – Classic Sales will have a burgundy sidebar and feature the new CCA logo, while Iconic Auctioneers sales will display a blue sidebar with their IA logo.
This updated branding will also be reflected on the company’s social media channels and advertisements.
We very often attend auctions hosted by both companies so we are excited to see what the future holds now they are becoming one!
