Sold to him by us . I think it was a few years before this photo was taken though as it was at the time he was doing Spitting Image. A lovely funny guy.
Unfortunately the concours winning Maserati is starting to reveal some serious rust . Previously bare metal repaired and painted by one of the most prolific restoration company's in the UK. They have stuck sections of steel straight over the old sills without even removing old underseal let alone cut out the rust !
Sorry but I'm not going to name the company as no longer in business. But the clue was in the post How we sold it a few years ago versus how it came back last week. WHY ? We are about to do it all again !
I'm loving all the twats, sorry experts saying our work is at fault. Read the bloody post, it says 'How we sold it'. If you can write how come you can't read One I found a few years back. Not for me as had too few pistons ! Sold it to a friend who totally rebuilt it, did a few sprints and then sold it on. It's now doing the historic's race scene
Something a bit different to end the week with. In for some rust repair and paint on the sills.5/6/2026
Up for sale if anybody is interested. 1959 MK IX 3.8 so disc brakes and power steering. Can be as is or with any work you wish to be carried out to any standard, so a bit of a blank canvas to work from. Body off chassis restoration back in the early 90's which is when I first knew the car having done some work on it. Be quick if you're interested as I am very seriously thinking of having it for myself !
I'm surrounded by E types and XK's but this really floats my boat and you just don't see them. Took the Rover inlet manifold off last night and found the cause of the oil mist everywhere.18/4/2026
Took the Rover inlet manifold off last night and found the cause of the oil mist everywhere. Two holes in the rusted valley gasket. Replaced with later type and all back together this morning as I'm getting this thing sorted this year whatever. 18 years I've owned it and never used it !
