There is nothing quite like driving a 'new' car for the first time, and this time the car in question is from a very short list of cars that I haven't heard my Dad say 'I've driven one of those' or 'I used to own one of those'. This is even more impressive given the fact …

As anyone who follows me on Twitter or Instagram may know, yesterday I had the interesting experience of attending the NCM 135 lot 'barn find' classic car auction near Preston, which has received quite a lot of online attention in recent weeks. After a 4 hour plus journey, parking in a field so boggy it …
It has been a long time since I've seen the Escort in our workshop, and its certainly helping to brighten up the place (especially with the grim weather that has arrived recently). The paintwork has now been completed and it has provided quite the transformation, which can be seen in the earlier posts about this …

Progress on the Escort has finally been moving in the right direction and over the past few weeks I've been visiting the bodyshop to monitor progress and make a few decisions on detail items about the paintwork. I had absolutely no hesitation in deciding that the car was to be repainted in Daytona Yellow. Not …
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 …
I thought it was time I posted an update on some of the projects we have in the workshop. Progress has been a little slow up until recently with other work taking priority over our own projects. A couple of new long term projects have also joined the queue in the past few weeks and …
Great Escape Cars is a Redditch based company that offers classic car experiences, and I was lucky enough to be invited on their media day yesterday. I'm sure it is abundantly clear to anyone reading this that I am not a member of the media, and therefore I have little reason to be on a …
I recently wrote about my experience with the Vantage, and now it is time for its competitor of sorts, my old 911. This post could go on for a lot longer than the one about the Vantage, just because I've had it for longer and its a bit more of a story rather than just …
People who know me (or follow me on Twitter) probably know that I like an XJS more than most people do, and this is one of the cars that helped me to realise that. I've owned this particular XJS since September 2017, after buying it at auction. I spotted the car among the listings of …
I thought it was about time I wrote a little something about my experience of the Vantage, which was a car I had wanted to buy for a few years but had half given up on at this point. I've owned the Vantage for just over a year now after buying it on a bit …
