An absolute diamond of a car, our 1999 35th Anniversary Ford Mustang GT has found a new home, and a great home at that.

Mr and Mrs S from Ipswich have a new addition to the family. As car enthusiasts themselves, no doubt we’ll be seeing them again at many shows to come. In fact, our Ford Mustang GT left us at 5pm this evening and is going straight off to Bury St Edmunds for a car meet.

Enjoy…and send us lots of pictures of your adventures.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”6261,6262,6259,6258,6257,6256,6255,6254″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Removing the overspray on the hubs

Bizarrely, it seemed somebody had decided to paint the wheels of our wonderful little MGTD whilst they were still on the car.

We’ve been looking at these ever since she arrived with us at Bridge Classic Cars, all the way from Canada and today we decided to sort them out so we no longer need to look at them. We removed the wheels, removed the overspray and re-painted so they are now back to how they should be.

Not too much of a time consuming job for Sean and John but none the less, one well worth completing as I’m sure you’ll agree.

As you can see from image 2, John has a very laid back approach to painting the hubs 🙂

Faulty Fan Sensor

When running the car up to temperature we discovered a fault with the fan sensor.

A new sensor has been ordered and will arrive with us tomorrow morning.

Jaguar E-Type Fan Sensor

The handle has been repaired

When it’s a gorgeous summer’s evening here in Suffolk there’s nothing better than taking out your beautiful 1965 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 for a drive. Maybe find a local pub, grab a bite to eat and enjoy a couple of ‘cokes’ and watch the sun goes down whilst chatting to all the admirers looking at your car.

What you don’t want…or more to the point, what your passenger doesn’t want is the the door to keep flinging open when they least expect it.

Unfortunately that’s the issue we were up against when this one came in to us.

Upon closer inspection, the rod inside the passengers lock had buckled which was causing the latch to remain in the open position…not ideal.

A new handle and locking mechanism was required, once this had arrived to us John got working on fitting back up.

Now the passenger can enjoy the drive just as much as the driver!
