Rover P5B: Going to the chapel and we’re…

With his daughter’s wedding coming up in November 2020, the owner of our lovely 1971 Rover P5B has asked us to bring the car in to the workshops to get it ready for the big day.

The car has not been used for almost two years. We have been asked to give it a thorough check over and with evidence of brake oil leaking out this is most certainly one area that will require attention. The car will also undergo a full service and MOT.

We have just collected the car and is now with us in the workshops waiting for the works to begin.

Rare: 1979 Arrow Daytona – Ferrari Recreation

Arriving in our workshops this week as a future restoration project we have our 1979 Arrow Daytona (Ferrari Daytona Recreation).

The car is a non runner due to an engine fault not too long ago which resulted in the car sitting with a blown engine. A second V12 Jaguar engine has been sourced and may be the resolution when restoring the car.

Over the years the owner has collected many many original and after-market Ferrari Daytona parts so although the car is extremely well produced and very close to the original Ferrari Daytona there are certain areas that do make the car less aesthetically pleasing. The interior, for instance, is not as close to an original Ferrari Daytona as it could be so original Ferrari interior parts have been purchased.

The entire car will be restored in our workshops later in the year with a new colour combination and a number of upgrades to further improve the car.
