I left Father and the farm in the 1980’s as my path wasn’t restoring old cars, I have the passion for mechanical things and love the cars I have, but also trucks, tractors, plant, steam engines anything that’s mechanical especially the older and oilier and loud .... I seem to enjoy loud and fast currently I have four old cars :


Car #1 - Jaguar SS 100 1939 3.5 Litre EHP 203, this is a car one of father’s clients offered him and it is perfect mechanically and cosmetically, it is also one of the “works” rally cars, one of a team of three cars entered by Jaguar in the 1939 RAC rally of the UK, the car finished 8th overall with a famous driver of the day Mr. “Tommy” Wisdom, great car, very fast and very loud

NOTE: Lack of space requires more articles to follow - not just Mark's cars but note the shop and the Jaguar sedan in the background...much more to follow!
