Lotus Europa

Lotus Europa

Loved, cherished and owned by one man for 49 years it was great to hear that he enjoyed driving his car so much, especially after its 33 year slumber and subsequent restoration. Sadly passing away before finding the finishing touches it seemed only fair that we completed the task......a week with our engineer for some 'fettling' and a new set of 'Lotus' embossed hubcaps and 13" wheel beauty rings. Here's a little walk-around video of this fantasic 60's classic. ...

Mercedes-Benz SL320

Mercedes-Benz SL320

We would say that the Mercedes-Benz SL is one of the best ways to enjoy wind-in-the-hair motoring, but with its wind-deflector in place and with the windows up, this super sleek Grand Tourer simply cossets its occupants as it cruises on the open road and on a bright but blustery day we decided to see how long it takes to transform the SL from roof up to roof down......it's about 18 seconds! ...

Doddington Hall - A Vintage Affair

Doddington Hall - A Vintage Affair

Back in early April we were delighted to receive an email from the Events Team at Doddington Hall, Lincoln who advised us that they were runnig a Vintage Affair, a 50/60's themed event, and could we possibly oblige and bring along some of our older classic cars. Having visited the Farm Shop, Home Store, coffee shop and bought a number of Christmas Trees from Doddington Hall many times in the past we already knew what a wonderful venue the Hall is and naturally we were delighted to help and with some stunning late 50's classic in our ...

Orston Spring Dash

Orston Spring Dash

Run on a 10K mixed terrain course through the villages and lanes around the village of Orston in Nottinghamshire, the Orston Spring Dash is now its 3rd year and continues to grow every year.....and what's more its the only 10k run I know where the participants not only get a medal at the finish, but they also receive a free slice of cake to replenish the energy lost in running! Having previously helped out as a course marshal we just love the atmosphere and with the money raised all going to a good cause we felt that this year we would do a little more by offering to sponsor the ev...

Spot the team

Spot the team

The secret to effective advertising is to make a great first impression and vehicle wraps / graphics can be a memorable way to spread your business's message and can be a really powerful branding and marketing tool too. With this in mind we had no hesitation in going to our friends at Fusion Graphic Design, Newark, as they'd done such a fantastic job at creating our website and social media pages. No sooner had we mentioned the idea when Ian and Cath suggested a design that would work in harmony with our website and some other ideas we've got planned for forth coming events and sho...

A classic wedding

A classic wedding

A real treat for us this summer was being able to help a family friend on her wedding day. With the Bride, Emily a teacher at local school, being taken to the church in a stunning 1960 Vanden Plas Princess, it was our pleasure to escort the brides mum, sister and bridesmaid in our own 1958 MG ZB Varitone. Naturally the Bride and Groom, now Mr and Mrs Forbes, looked amazing and the service was perfect with some of the school children providing vocals during the hymns, but I do think the ZB stole some of the limelight looking resplendant outside the church. ...

Horsepower at the Hall

Horsepower at the Hall

A local classic car meeting we’ve supported since it first started at Doddington Hall, Lincoln in early 2015. For the 2016 season the meeting has moved to Newark Showground, Notts and is now known as “Gearheads at the Ground” and usually takes place on the 3rd Sunday of each month from April-September. What’s great about Gearheads is that theres always such an eclectic mix of modern sports cars, hot hatches, kit and classic cars. The May meeting was no different as the pics show and you’ve got to wonder where else you’ll see a Monster Truck and Vauxha...
