2018 VanDusen ABFM

Here is our experience at this year’s VanDusen ABFM.

The Jaguar won ‘Best new car at the show’ which we are very grateful to receive.

Interestingly enough our Restoration category was written about in this exceptional article by Brendan McAleer:

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/drive/culture/article-at-the-all-british-field-meet-backstory-gives-a-boost-to-restored/

For our car he said there  “wasn’t much of a backstory.” So at least here we get a chance:

We started this car October 5th, 2017 with the request to have the car fully restored by summer so the owner and his aging friend could go on one last epic trip.

It was a tall order, and almost everybody didn’t believe it could be done, but the car was fully stripped, mechanically rebuilt and comprehensively restored in seven months, completed one day before the show.

This was only possible with the talents of:
