Another stunning E type

20/12/2024

 
Another stunning E type in to have some floor sections replaced as not bad enough to warrant a whole new floor. The floors are quite solid and If they had been repaired correctly previously when it had been required I doubt we would of been having to do it now. Shame, but some people have very low standards.

A few years ago now I built some Aston and jaguar engines for some of Ant Ansteads creations

Unbelievable, the value of this car

13/12/2024

 
Unbelievable, the value of this car and they couldn't be bothered to cut the head studs down and just put extra washers on. No wonder the owner got fed up with quite substantial bills and found us to sort it. I will certainly build the engine to a higher standard than this !

That's another one !

11/12/2024

 
​That's another one ! We were all really looking forward to doing this one and it is a crying shame to see the work we have put our heart and soul into now going to waste. But where do people think we are going to work when they just leave cars with us unpaid. But room now to finish of an E type that has had new floors fitted.
Tune in tomorrow for the next episode !

Following on from my previous post, so you all know I mean business here is the first car thrown out. Who's is it going to be tomorrow ? Over 60 cars around us so need a thin out.

Sam has lost any interest he had in modern supercars

5/12/2024

 
Sam has lost any interest he had in modern supercars and has become obsessed with the D type . I can't get him away from or stop him talking about it. Which I suppose is a good thing as I always sing the praises of classic cars and how your money is safer in them than new cars. People will buy a new car knowing it will become worthless but you wouldn't buy a house if you knew the same would happen would you.
