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 …
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 …

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 …
