What’s going on?
Another one finished and ready to go back to Colorado after an epic restoration that proved a real challenge.
I had no idea just how rusty the car was when we took it on.
It was stripped to a bare shell and we got a real surprise as the corrosion was discovered having been well hidden in an earlier effort.
Nearly every spot weld on the car was removed purging the rust .
Hopefully these photos give a taste of what unfolded over the next number of years .
I am very proud of what’s been achieved , it’s one of our best restorations .

The 1974 Daimler double six restoration is now completed .
Like most there were many problems that kept cropping up in the path to completion, there were carburettor problems , ignition problems , brake problems , cooling problems and much more and they all took time to sort out but with patience it’s come good and after many test miles it really ready to go home to its patient owner .
Such a fantastic car to drive too, so powerful and so smooth , with good handling and excellent brakes no wonder it was considered the best car in the world by the press in the early seventies.

It’s been a bit of journey to get the body sorted out on what was actually a pretty good Fulvia Zagato mainly because most of these are usually swept up with a dustpan .
I’m looking forward to getting it reassembled and back on the road now .

Still farting about playing whack a mole with problems on the Pontiac and Daimler V12 but I am creating an ever shortening list .
I had to replace all the Daimlers brakes to get it to stop properly , the master cylinder , the servo, calipers , hoses , pipes and all the pads etc and inevitably it lead to other jobs like radius arms various pins and bushes and so on .
The Pontiac is so close now it’s frustrating, but getting the time to chase them out is the issue .
The Fulvia has made steady progress and is finally ready for paint .
I put a base coat on to …one , make sure the car is straight and two, it will give me a better finish on the top coat once it’s all rubbed down .
E type is a new arrival and is not here for bodywork just sorting out everything else after the body repairs were done elsewhere.
That might be a challenge but I am fond of E types so happy to help.
Lastly no picture today but the Corvette is running again after a big row with the fuel pump and carburettor that absorbed a few days of trial and error stripping and reassembly on a repeat loop.
I will post a pic of that soon ,

One of our clients has decided to part ways with his absolutely stunning 1974 Morgan 4/4 sports two seater to make room for a new purchase as he only has one garage space .
This car was beautifully nut and bolt restored in Germany and comes with a full restoration folder showing the work that was done .
The owner took a lot of time looking before finding this car that ticked all the boxes.
It has a Ford 1600cc Kent pushrod engine in it so maintenance is easy and it has a decent turn of speed for such a light car .
I cannot stress enough just how tidy this car is so if you want a Morgan and want the very best please get in touch
0862526247.
