I want a Darracq (like in Genevieve) - have you ever come across one of those?
I haven't actually come across a Darracq but we haven't been looking
Seriously though if you're after one send me a message via trust and we can talk.
Sorry for the lack of updates, Jono I infact saw Genevieve today in London! no pictures though as it was a bit akward, I'll try and grab one tomorrow, also I've seen another Darracq in the past week, if you're seriously interested in one get in contact.
I'm taking our support car to the London to Brighton vetran run tommorow, expect many pics and maybe even videos, also we just today picked up quite possibly the most exciting car (in my opinion) yet, Pics/possibly video to follow!

Not bad for a daily hack
Side note - any news on that RR?

It's such a contrast, I was driven around hyde park in a 1902 De Dion Bouton early this morning!
Also I did reply previously but the owner isn't looking to shift it at the moment, sorry!

No worries, apologies for not noticing the reply! That's a shame!
Sorry for the lack of updates, been horrendously busy! I'll post some pics/video's when I get a chance.
Had a very interesting few weeks, been all over the place. Got a new much better trailer.
Today I was on the set of a Film 'Parades End' Lots of exciting stuff going on

Again Sorry for the absence of updates, it's been horrendously busy and continues to be so!!

Awesome car, If I had won the lottery I'd buy one purely for the sound it makes and it isn't half quick either...the only downside is the gearbox, the shifts aren't exactly quick.
Allegedly the 'S' a much superior car with the better gearbox but that remains to be seen.
This beast has now been sold and is awaiting shipping, it's on the trailer as it was off to our local trimmers for a new roof as the old one really let the car down.
I've had the pleasure of driving this car a couple of times and nothing really can describe the experience, it sounds absolutely awesome!!
It's a 1911 Delaunay Belleville HB4. It was bitterly cold that morning and being a 4 cylinder car once your going it's surprisingly quick, there is no wind protection at all so after having a 20 minute ride in it taking some video I was absolutely frozen, I had the heating on full in the x5 for a good half hour after that and I still was a tad chilly.

Here's a P2
It's one of the first non syncro cars I've been let loose in, its a hoot to drive as its massive and grabs everyone attention, it's quite nice to drive also as it has such a monstrously big engine you don't have to constantly change gears.
And Finally
This was taken this morning, one of my preferred cars to drive, I was showing it at around noon and went out early morning to put some fuel in it, with the roof down and empty roads it's was one those drives when I had a massive grin across my face all the time, A V12 and an open road makes me a happy boy.

Are you going to the Paris one? We're entering a couple of cars & Have got our eye on a couple..
Sorry for the lack of updates recently, its been absolutely hectic here.
Recently the company attended Technoclassica in Essen, Germany.
We took about 12 cars over and sold 3 directly from the show and We've since sold 2 more due to the show.
I've never been to anything like it before but it really is a must for anyone who has an interest in classic cars.
Also I've drive some more exciting cars recently, Namely an Original AC Cobra (Best driving experience to date) An Aston DB9 and an XK150.
Here are some pics I've taken over the last few months.
Also have a peek Here & Here

What a wonderful, rewarding job you have. I hope people never get tired of restoring and dealing and keeping an interest in these incredible old cars. Lovely, and massively jealous
