Former Vauxhall MD (amongst many other influential positions), Stephen Norman recently reached out to us after seeing the arrival of our 1976 MG Midget.

Lydia has fitted the hood to our 1999 Rover 216 Cabriolet, as far as she can take it without some vital parts that she is waiting for. A set of tension cables was sent, but although the correct ones were ordered, we received a set for a MK5 Ford Escort! Christian from the body shop […]
The overdrive on our 1980 Volvo 245 GL was not working. After investigating, Steve found that the connector under the gearbox tunnel had pulled out so he soldered a new connector on. The alternator from our classic Volvo has returned from specialists after being refurbished. This is now ready to refit to the car.

What a fantastic weekend we had at Manor Park Classics for their February 2024 classic auction. It’s the first time I’ve been and the second trip for Gordon and I must say, I’m super impressed with the venue and set up. Being very interested in the media side of a business I was amazed, initially, […]
