I just thought I'd share an update on all the work the Jag has had in recent months. I'd booked for it to come off the road at the start of April to have all of its bushes replaced as there was some creaking and groaning over bumps and the car wasn't driving quite as …

If you'd like to read the rest of the Curfew XJ-S updates, you can do so HERE After a little bit of a wait earlier in the week, yesterday became a chance to get Curfew up on a ramp for its service and a general inspection, as I was hoping to take it to Tamp …

I wasn't expecting to be able to post an update on the Alfa so soon, but the original creator of my little 6C Sprint, Philip Herrick, has very kindly provided me with some more information about how this bonkers little car came into existence, and also how he constructed it. You can read his 'Engineering Principles' below, and …
You can view Soapy's own page here. We've owned Soapy for just over three years now, after purchasing him at the London Classic Car Show in 2017. Out of all of the cars this is one that is rarely seen on our social media channels, despite being the header image for the website. The reason …
I bought this on a bit of a whim on eBay in August 2017, and its in the list of cars to be saved. I’ve always got time to appreciate an interesting Alfa, and this one is certainly something a little bit different, as it’s a mid engine Busso V6 conversion 'designed' to emulate the …
After posting a photo or two of the 6.5l Jag on social media recently whilst moving cars in the workshop so that the floor could be painted, and being asked questions about it, I thought it was probably well past time to give the car its own page and write a post or two about …
The journey to get the Curfew Jag roadworthy and MOT'd took a bit longer than I expected. I knew it would have a few mechanical jobs considering that it was built for the tv series where the aesthetics come first, but in reality the state the car was in was unsafe, and I was slightly …
At the end of 2019 I finally managed to pass the 200,000 mile mark in J258. I use the car as a daily driver and have been trying to use it more on longer runs as my commute is really rather short. Longer runs are a little more palatable now that the fuel economy is …
It has been a long time since I've posted an update for this particular car, and even if you follow my social media channels you may not be familiar with it, as it has been in storage. At the time that this little MG arrived in my car time my intention was to modify it …
As I'm sure you can guess from the absence of a Christmas video in this post, we didn't quite manage to complete it. It was probably a bit much for me to expect the Curfew Jag to survive the attempt, especially considering it still needs a lot of work to make it a useable car. …

So I've bought another XJ-S, but this time its the XJ-S that featured in the recent Sky series 'Curfew', which stars Sean Bean (who drives this car). It got delivered last night after I purchased it at the H&H auction in Buxton on Wednesday - and its already taken a bit of a battering on …
