We had amazing trip to the Goodwood Festival of Speed to exhibit the Mini Moke in the Cartier ‘Style et Luxe’ Concours. We would highly recommend a visit to anyone who has never attended. We are now looking forward to taking the Moke to the Revival for the Mini 50th anniversary display.
The BMC Formula Junior restoration is almost complete, over the last few weeks we have taken delivery of a Mk 2 Mini Cooper, Mk 2 Jaguar and a MGB Roadster which are currently being prepared and will soon be listed in the ‘for sale’ section.

The Caterham has now been sold and we are urgently looking for more stock. We are delighted to have received an
invitation to enter our Mini Moke into the Cartier ‘Style et Luxe’ at the Goodwood Festival of Speed - much polishing to
follow! We are equally excited to have also been invited to exhibit the car at the Goodwood Revival meeting.
In the workshop we have been busy restoring the Lotus 7 and have also begun work on a BMC Formula Junior.

Our 1961 Lotus Seven Series II has sold before it has even been advertised! Here is it with our rather younger model - some 40 years younger in fact. Restoration work on our other Lotus Seven Series II (see below) is progressing well.

We now have a beautiful Caterham Seven for sale, it’s a very quick and surprisingly comfortable car ready for a thrash around a track or a trip to the Continent. The Series II Lotus Seven is now stripped down and the chassis is about to be fixed into our chassis jig for checking and repairs. Restoration of the running gear is already well underway.

The Triumph TR4 and Mini Cooper both sold within days of being advertised, showing that it will take more than the constant barrage of economic doom to stop classic car enthusiasts from enjoying themselves.
The Mini Moke is now for sale and the Mini Cooper rally car will soon be complete, full details to follow.
Having completed the Prisoner Taxi Mini Moke we are about to start the restoration of a 1965 Lotus Super 7 which could be finished as a Prisoner replica as it is the correct model and year. This is a unique opportunity for the ultimate Prisoner fan to purchase two rare cars. Please contact us for details.
With all the current Prisoner activity here things have been getting a little strange. We now have our very own Rover who can be seen in the photograph ‘persuading’ our head engineer not to take an early lunch break.
(for those of you who know nothing about the Prisoner this will make no sense at all!)

The Mini Cooper Rally Car is now for sale. This would make a great entry into some of the many historic rally events
including the Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique. We have begun carefully stripping the Lotus Super 7 and are hoping to
re-use as much of the original car as possible. Photos and details of car will be posted as work proceeds.

We had an excellent time at the Goodwood Revival Meeting. We took part in the Mini 50th track parade each day which was quite a surreal experience - driving around Goodwood in a Mini Moke in a parade with Mr Bean, Paddy Hopkirk with the Battle of Britian Memorial Flight flying overhead! The Moke was handed over to its new owner at the end of the meeting, I hope he has as much fun with it as we’ve had.
The Mini Cooper rally car has been sold and has left for the USA and the MGB Roadster has now also been sold. The Mk 2 Jaguar restoration is going well and the restored leather seats and door cards look superb - see ‘before’ and ‘after’ photos.
We now pleased to also offer an interior restoration service. We can repair, renovate and re-colour leather seats and vinyl panels. Please enquire for details and a quote.

And now for something completely different....
We’ve just finished building a Toylander Land Rover Series 2 for a customer. The plans and parts can be purchased from www.toylander.co.uk. We think they’re great fun and have been ‘testing’ the vehicle in yard!

We have recently successfully taken part in the Three Castles Classic Trial in an Austin Healey 3000. This is a very enjoyable event with a varied and interesting entry of classic and vintage vehicles in incredible countryside. We highly recommended it.
