Our X-Pack RS2000 Escort is now up and running ahead of testing.
The New Arrival: 1988 Jaguar XJ-S 6.5l V12
Anyone who follows our social media feeds, especially Twitter, will know that I have a soft spot for the Jaguar XJ-S. So when the chance to purchase this particular car came up I simply couldn't resist. This is no ordinary XJ-S, but instead it has been fettled by a few well known names. The engine …

New Year’s Day: Brooklands
Well it is now 2018, and before work beckoned we managed to drive round to Brooklands Museum yesterday afternoon for their New Year's Day car meet. We arrived late, and missed the bulk of the visiting classic cars. We did have a great time and there were still many fantastic and individual cars on show …
Happy New Year!
I just wanted to write a quick blog post before all of the festivities get underway wishing a Happy New Year to everyone who follows us on social media, checks our website or has bought a car from us. Its been a good year for us and I personally am looking forward to another year …
Our Week: 6th – 12th November
Its been something of a hectic week here, with new cars arriving, others being painted and our lovely MK1 Escort Mexico replica being sold. First up is our Sunbeam Alpine, which is now being built back up after being repainted, and I was a little wowed when I saw it come out after being painted, …

A project for winter?
We've now listed two of our XJS projects for sale, as it would be better for someone else to get them back on the road and enjoy them rather than us keep them sat at the back of our workshop constantly being pushed to the back of the projects list. The two cars are both …
J258RFJ: an update
I thought I would continue writing some blog posts about my own XJS and all about owning one (both the good and the bad). At the moment the car is sat up in our workshop with a mystery fuel leak that will require the fuel tank to come out and the oil leak is also …
Soapy and the Coupe – Brands Hatch
Last Monday we were lucky enough to be allowed to take Soapy and our Ford Coupe down to Brands Hatch to take some photographs for an ad that we will be running in the December issue of Classic American. We have some good friends down at Brands and it is one of my personal favourite …
The first week with the XJ-S
I thought I'd write a post about my new runaround - this Jaguar XJ-S 4.0 Auto - and keep it updated with the ups and downs of living with an old car as a daily driver. Most people who buy classic cars don't intend to use them daily (though there are still a few and …
