1974 Jaguar V12 E Type
1974 Jaguar V12 E Type. Brought into shop completely disassembled with body and paintwork partially done by another shop. Every component of the car will need to be worked before use. Paintwork has since been completed by Britsport and assembly of chassis started. The V12 is fully rebuilt and installed with a 5 speed conversion. The car will also be converted to SU carbs.
1974 Triumph TR6
1976 Triumph TR6. A completely stripped TR6 brought in as a blasted, disassembled body. The majority of the metal work is complete, and the car mocked up to see if we have a good overall fit of panels.
