On this page you will find a few cars of interest, most of them have been owned, rerstored or sold by me at some time or other, others have nothing to do with me but I feel are worthy of note. I hope you enjoy some of the stories.

Speedwell Demonstrator
In the autumn of 2010
I was lucky enough to be able to purchase a very rare original Speedwell
demonstrator.
The
car is a 1965 Austin Cooper S that was used for many press apearances

the car will be ready for Summer 2011 & the 50th anniversary of the
Mini Cooper.
