The Bugs are ready for day 2..and so are we. So far, the sun is shining! Sun or not, surely will be a good day! 😍

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 :))

I tried something new on Saturday …my first livestream on the channel.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it actually turned out really well.
I was genuinely surprised by how many of you joined, interacted, and asked questions, it made the whole experience much more enjoyable.

I’m really glad you enjoyed it.

If you missed it, you can…Read More

New video on the channel! We finally finished with the brakes on the Talbot lago, AKA Jessica Rabbit! Of course, we are still missing one drum, but we’ve been promised, after months of waiting, that we should get the new drum in a couple of weeks!

A fantastic day out with Betty, surrounded by fascinating cars — most of them Triumphs! I love garage open days, as we get to meet interesting and very knowledgeable people.

I just love the gentle and cheerful way you two go about your restorations and trips. Keep it up, and when will the next episode come?. I just have older cars cos they are cheaper, but nothing exciting like yours.

I’m very excited to share this news with you!
Last weekend at Prescott was the Annual Prize Giving, and I was awarded the Elizabeth Junek Trophy — for a BOC lady driver, for meritorious performance during the season, not necessarily while driving a Bugatti.
It feels like yesterday when I was standing at the start line for the first time — nervo…Read More

Retromobile is full of extraordinary machines.

I came here for a challenge — hunting small parts and value — but it’s impossible not to stop and admire what’s around you.

From beautifully restored classics to things you rarely see in one place… including the Bugatti railcar.

This place reminds you how wide the world of engineering really is.

Bugatti railcar! From the 88 trains built by Bugatti, today, only one example remains – “Le Présidentiel”, which was one of the first railcars delivered by Bugatti to be operated by ETAT

After miles of walking through Retromobile and trying my very best negotiating skills, I realised something quite quickly…
If you’re looking for rare parts, this really is the place to come.
But it also comes at the right price — and often more than that.
When you see how much the sellers have to pay just to stand here, it suddenly makes sense…Read More
