New video is live on my YouTube channel!
It was meant to go up tomorrow, but I accidentally set the wrong date 😅
This was my first drive in the Type 51 at Prescott during the Garden Party, and it was absolutely incredible, a big thank you to Colin for all his support and for trusting me to drive such a special car.
Here are a few photos…Read More

I don’t think I could choose…I love them both…I love how playful the t51 is, but also the wildness and preselector gearbox on Betty…Dolly! 😊

Betty is very different to the later dolomites o dolly’s form the BL era in the 70s

Yes, only two were ever made, and apparently they bankrupted Triumph! The cost of building these cars was so high, and the selling price was the same, that nobody really wanted to buy one! They do share the exact same engine as on Alfa Romeo 8c, just imperial not metric.

Having an absolute blast surrounded by pre-war Bugattis…while working on fresh content that I’ll be sharing with you very soon.
Our main character is the Joker.
And together, we’re taking on modern roads… and unforgiving conditions.
The Joker series starts on the 27th of January.
Stay tuned 😉![]()

Today we took Black Betty and her sister to a car meet! The silver XK120 FHC hasn’t been out for over a year; we were almost sure it wouldn’t start… but she didn’t disappoint. Since it still doesn’t have a name, I’m thinking ‘Holy Moly’ 🙂 and yes, she’s a keeper but we have some work to do on it. Over 50mph, the electric power steering is quite scary :))
