1954 Aston Martin DB2/4

Britsport of Seattle was well represented at the 2011 Kirkland Concours d’ Elegance. This year Aston Martin was the featured marque, and the 1954 DB2/4 Drop Head Coupe restored by Britsport was invited to display. The competition was fierce with one of the James Bond DB5 movie cars and a factory DBR3 also in attendance.

Can you spot that small part causing your Triumph to pop out of 3rd gear on a downhill grade over 3.5% under a full decel when the moon is full in the springtime during a light drizzle?

Triumph TR6 Rear Valance

Triumph TR6 Rear Valance. This car (not long ago “restored”), was brought in for body and paintwork due to rust bubbles appearing in various locations on the car. The rusty lower rear valance was stripped of paint where we discovered Home Depot expando foam used to fill rusty holes. Some guys should not be allowed to have tools.

1955 MG TF. Nice car fresh from an East coast restoration with a completely clapped out gearbox and clutch/brake linkage. Would not stay in gear up hills. Clutch and brake pedals rocking around. The gearbox was removed and rebuilt correctly, and the pedal mechanisms put right.
