To all the people who shared and viewed my post yesterday about fraudulent web site using my name and business information. Thank you very much. The offending site was removed today regrettably the URL still exists.
I would like to ask everyone who views my posts or web site to please forward this to as many people as possible. A web site has been registered as Athlone Classics.com. All the information and pictures are of my business. They are trying to defraud people selling high value classics that don’t exist. They are saying the vehicles are for sale on my behalf. We repair and restore vehicles. We don’t sell vehicles. This came to light when a Dutch gentleman had questions about the contract of sale he received and contacted me for information. Please help me stop this and my business getting a bad name. Most of all save people being robbed of large sums of hard earned money. Thank you

Answer to question yesterday. One person guessed exactly. That’s you Bob. It’s the finish on the boot lid of E Type after flatting and first stage compounding.
Nearly seems a shame to sand such a gloss finish. Flatting before buffing. 1500-2000-3000-compound finish with glaze.
Busy morning but well worth the time and effort. Transformation complete. E Type back in her factory colour. One of only 5 produce in RHD in this Blue with Beige interior. Verified by Jaguar Heritage. Using Chassis numbers.
E Type all ready for colour inside and door shuts painted. Masked up final check tomorrow. One more go with tack cloth and away we go.
E Type Jaguar in high build primer white guide coat to be applied and sanding starts again !!!!
Making progress on Morris Minor fettling door alignment finalizing door hinge positions. Down to all the fiddle little rust holes.
Willy’s Jeep. It has been a while since we posted. Side steps. Outriggers, floor section , rear corner , front wing mount and gearbox noise.

Recently liked an artists rendition of of Moggie traveler. He has been following my work on the Morris Minor. This arrived in the post. Absolutely delighted with it.
