Well, this one is a bit different. Although, aren't they all? I'm a bit fan of Jaguar's XJ in its earlier iterations, and though I've owned series 2 and 3 cars (and their Daimler variants), I hadn't yet manage to purchase my favourite of all, the series 1. The car I've bought hasn't seen a …

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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
