Getting lost in the woods with the XK8 today, great to get the green machine out for a drive! #jaguarxk8 #jaguar #xk8 #modernclassic #v8 #gt

A bit of a before and after on the leather in the Esprit. I’m using a lanolin and beeswax product to bring the leather back to life so it hopefully won’t crack/tear when I take it off the frame, this was one application so might take a few to make a proper difference! #lotusesprit #lotusesprits2 #lotus #esprit #classiccar #supercar #vintage #retro

New project car alert! Say hello to my Lotus Esprit S2! Requires total restoration, I think I’ve really lost the plot this time! Stored in a damp garage for over two decades, this single owner, 30k original mile car is going to be a challenge! Reveal video is now on YouTube, link in bio #lotusesprit #lotusesprits2 #lotus #esprit #classiccar #supercar #vintage #retro #jamesbond

Latest YouTube video now online! This time a detailed look at the interior of the MGB, link in bio #mgb #mgbgt #mg #classiccar #classiccars #vintage #retro

I’ve started a series on MGB maintenance on YouTube whilst we are in ‘lockdown’ if anyone is interested? Only popped up a weekly inspection so far but I intend to do a full service in the near future (some of the things I’ve never tried so might be interesting!) There’s a link in my bio for the latest video on my channel #mgb #mgbgt #mg #classiccar #classiccars #vintage #retro

A more detailed look at my ‘barn find’ Lotus Esprit S2 is now up on YouTube, link in bio #lotusesprit #lotusesprits2 #lotus #esprit #classiccar #supercar #vintage #retro #jamesbond

One from the back! It’s tricky to show the proportions of the Esprit in a photo, you only really get the width and squashed height standing next to one! Still, can’t wait to get started on this once lockdown is less of an issue! #lotusesprit #lotusesprits2 #lotus #esprit #classiccar #supercar #vintage #retro #jamesbond

My new project car is being revealed on my YouTube channel at 8pm tonight! I think I’ve lost the plot but it should at least be challenging/entertaining! Link in bio.

A couple of years on and the ‘Lotus’ pedal car (actually an old Raleigh Monaco) is holding up, bit bumped and scraped but kids still like to sit in it! I wish I had a real one... #lotus #lotustype72 #lotusjps #pedalcar #raleigh #vintage #retro

Even cars are looking for shade this weekend! #mgbgt #mgb #mg #classiccar #classiccars #vintage #retro

Drove the XK8 to visit the Lotus at the weekend, reminded me how nice it was in there! A longer trip is definitely going to be on the cards once we’re allowed to travel again #jaguarxk8 #jaguar #xk8 #modernclassic #gt #v8

Lots of trouble, usually.... World Champion Car Constructors? Something not quite right with my project Lotus Esprit! #lotusesprit #lotusesprits2 #lotus #esprit #classiccar #supercar #vintage #retro #jamesbond

I was supposed to be driving the MG to Devon this weekend ah well, got this picture of my last long-ish drive of it to comfort me! #mgbgt #mgb #mg #classiccar #classiccars #retro #vintage

MGB 3000 mile / 3 month service video now up on YouTube, link in bio #mg #mgb #mgbgt #classiccar #classiccars #vintage #retro

Part 2 of my GT-in-a-day to Wales in the XK8 now on YouTube, link in bio! #jaguarxk8 #xk8 #jaguar #snowdonia #wales #gt #granturismo #grandtouring

Haven’t driven the MG for a while, really should take it for a run soon! The arrival of the Lotus has stalled the servicing I was doing but will resume hopefully this weekend or next #mgbgt #mgb #mg #classiccar #classiccars #vintage #retro

I love the interior of the Lotus Esprit, so 70s! However, at least two decades sweating in a damp garage means the interior is pretty shot on mine but shouldn’t be too hard to sort compared to the rest of the car.....hopefully! #lotusesprit #lotusesprits2 #lotus #esprit #classiccar #supercar #vintage #retro #jamesbond

Feels like an age ago that I last drove the XK8, when things start to get back to normal I think another day trip would be appropriate! This shot taken from my trip to Wales in a day visiting the Horseshoe Pass on the way #jaguarxk8 #jaguar #xk8 #modernclassic #gt #v8

Service time! Didn’t intend to get all Castrol branded stuff but seemed to be the most correct/best value! Hopefully get a bit of the bigger service items on the MGB done this weekend!
