HMC

HMC – Radiator and Water Pump off

The radiator has been removed and sent away to Sheldrake and Wells for further investigations.

Sheldrake & Wells Ltd. basedย in Ipswich,ย are now the only radiator specialist in Suffolk that undertake the repair and reconditioning of car,ย commercial and industrialย radiators.

The company was formed back in 1975 and is now under the second generation of family management. Originally formed to provide repair and reconditioning of automotive and commercial radiators but over the years have increased the products to include number plate production and other related services including the supply of air conditioning parts and with over 500 units in stock.

We have worked alongside Sheldrake & Wells for many years and love the work they do!

Ady has also removed the water pump to replace with a new unit.

Over-heating issues continue on HMC

It appears that changing the thermostat has not resolved the issue of over heating. Having carried out various tests upon fitting the new thermostat we thought we had overcome the problem but no. The HMC is now back with us for further checks.

We will do some further investigations but this may be more serious than first thought. We will see…

HMC In For Headlight Tweak

With only 183 ever made, this little HMC is both rare and collectable. Finished in a stunning blue, this classic bears a strong resemblance to Austin Healey. HMC (Holmes Motor Company) was founded in 1984 by two brothers, Graham and Peter Holmes who were inspired by the beautiful shapes of Austin Healeys. However, due to a disagreement between the Healey family andย Jensenย in 1989 over the ownership of the Healey trademark, the name was withdrawn.

This little 1997 HMC MKIV came in for a flying visit to fix its headlights, which are now as dazzling bright as they’re meant to be.
