MGB gets new doors

Sue Hammond brought in her beloved MGBGT for a new set of doors. The old doors had succumbed to rust and have since been repaired a couple of times before. There was little we could do but order a new set of Heritage doors. This will be fitted, gapped and painted to match.

Jaguar E-type in primer

The Jaguar E-type has received a coat of primer. Painter Ian Goodwright is taking every measure to ensure this paint job is a beautiful as the restoration. The final colour will be a dark metallic blue so the prep work has to be 110%. Still to come are the doors, boot lid and the enormous bonnet.

Zodiac looking good after a Revival refresh

Over the last couple of weeks we’ve been giving the Turner’s Zodiac a cosmetic refresh ready for Goodwood Revival. This has included a Zodaic grille, a repaired and re-painted bonnet, painted number roundels, and and interior re-trim with new seats and door cards. After a thorough polish this Zodiac looks stunning. James Turner will be joined by Christian Horner of Red Bull Racing for the two-part St Mary’s Trophy.
