Ford Mustang up and running!

The electronic ignition was the issue with the Mustang not starting upon collection. John has worked his magic and now she’s all fired up!

We still can’t go anywhere as we have no brakes…well we can go places, we just can’t stop!

New front carpets for the Jaguar.

The Jaguar E-Type series 1.5 has been getting new front carpets made by Kath, in the trim shop.

The original ones were marked out with “notches”, which help when putting the new versions together, then taken apart and were used as patterns on a roll of new carpet. Leather strips were cut out for the binding. Kath first bound round the outer carpet section, then the bottom edge of the inner carpet section. Before sewing the two carpet sections together to complete.

Please to show our Jensen 541S bursting into life and sounding beautiful.

Next job will be to set the gearbox up.

Mercedes 280SL drive-out

The sun was shining here in Suffolk this afternoon, the perfect weather for a lovely run out in the 280SL. Craig headed up to Rendlesham to experience the issues with the engine running.

It’s one of those classics that oozes class and sophistication. Lots of smiles and admiring glances as we drove through the villages…we assume it was for the car and not Craig!

The car is in with us for a full engine rebuild. Work will commence very soon.
