TL 48 - 1928 Austin 12 'Clifton' Open Tourer

The front and rear seats have been sent away to Hukes Car Trimmers for re-upholstery. Hukes have the experience and are recommended by eminent members of the Vintage Austin Register. Hopefully they will be completed by Easter. We would also like to have a look at the clutch by then.

AFY 376 - 1934 Austin 16 Berkeley Saloon

We are now block sanding back ready for another coat of primer. Then hopefully it will be fit for some paint when the primer is sanded back.

Rear panelling and a few electrical jobs including indicators and rear lights are receiving attention.

TF 818 - 1930 Leyland Lion LT1

202's original engine has been safely delivered to specialist repairer Surelock, Oakham. Heavy corrosion of the waterways was cut away and cold metal stitching used to make a watertight repair. This method uses nickel alloy rods to join metal instead of welding, where the heat would cause a lot of distortion. The engine should be back with us soon.

Work has also been carried out on the radiator - still showing traces of Jersey Motor Transport green paint on the inner side.

Workshop News

We now have a new pit jack fitted in the rear workshop.
