Finally we can present the entire Pimento Red TR6 painted in Dupont’s Imron Polyurethane Enamel that has a completely durable and classic look.
Featured are Vredestein’s popular Sprint Classic tires, Wheels powder coated by Professional Components Ltd, correct lenses from The Roadster Factory, an Everflex Softtop by Robbins, bumpers by Victoria Plating Ltd and a windsheild + install by Capital Glass just down the road.
The British Motor Industry is quite well and alive. We have a brand new MG TF body to prove it.
Recently the Hutson Motor Company Limited sent us a nice gift in the mail and it will get our MG TF restoration up off the ground.
Huston have been making these ash-framed beauties since 1988 and I love M.A.Hutson’s philosophy: “We have never sought to compete on price with any of our products, a correctly manufactured component that fits without modification and works correctly will, from our experience in vehicle manufacture cost less by the time it is on the car than one that has been turned out to a budget.”
Here is an incredible video of the build process:
We now move on the completed interior of our 1973 TR6.
Here we have a completely original dashboard with untouched wood, center console, crash pad, center switch pad. Continuing around the interior space, this TR6 still retains its original seat upholstery, original door panels and coverings for the rear panel.
New to the car is the carpet, speaker panels, everflex softtop by Robbins and webbing kit.
For the steering wheel, we sourced an original thin-wall wheel from a 1970-1972 car. This was sent to RX in Vancouver and recovered by the talented Marlene Falk Skowronski of Marlene’s Custom Creations. More about her great service to come!
Just got the Pimento Red TR6 out of storage for the final few pieces.
At the owner’s request we are assembling a book with every detail of the car.
Attached are some snaps under the hood from earlier today. Many of the new bits, well almost all of them, came from the roadster factory including the oem-style bottles, battery leads and ignition wires.
Today we had the privilege and pleasure to purchase this 1935 Bentley 3½ Litre Park Ward Sports Saloon chassis number B-90-EF.
This car was imported from England to Victoria, British Columbia in the seventies and has been a fixture on Saturna Island for several decades.
We purchased it from the family of I.C.MacQuarrie who had owned the car for over 40 years before landing in our shop and changing hands.
All tags seemingly indicate that the car retains its original aluminum body and 3½ Liter engine that match the numbers on the chassis so we are quite excited.
More to come!
