Not yet, K.S.K.,......... Interior has been stripped and safely stored; a few parts - FE/FC headlight rims, clock, steering wheel, triple carbs...
Hi Tony, Good to hear from you. Things pretty good here; still working on our same projects - the end could be in sight for a couple of them, got...
Until recently not much more had been done towards the restoration of the Seaward Customline, but several weeks ago we obtained a donor car - a...
It's a forward gear, Bob; look at the smoke coming from the rear of the tyre. There was just a good tail wind blowing the smoke away from the...
Cooling of Grey engines even to Appendix 'J' racing specs in the early '60's didn't seem to be a problem; a heavy duty (more tubes) radiator core...

That 'shroud is the top radiator tank! A red hot 'Grey' needed every bit of cooling it could get!
The complete interior trim is still in it. After carefully wiping a heavy layer of grot, I very cautiously applied a little of the appropriate...
I think that most of the trim is there, I'll check this morning. Just which version the car would be, will depend upon Adam; he's the bodyman!...
Yes, Paul, the car WAS rusty - but fixable at a price (aren't they all!!!) We told KSK that it would be cheaper to buy a new, fully optioned...
