I agree with Colin.

The Aston Martin Ulster (?) is also delightful to see.

Can't wait to get my passport updated...

Hi Colin, From the photo in the Sotheby's catalog I thought there might have been a remnant of the original fabric. Now that I look at the date on the catalog, I understand why there was nothing at all left of the roof material. Mind if I ask what 'hessian' is? Hope you're having a great, productive...

Hi Colin, Seeing the as-found starting point of your Six puts everything, your tremendous challenge and progress above all, in perspective. Excellent car to reclaim, wonderful progress already made. Looking forward to the next installment. Was the fabric on the roof a very fine weave of cotton canva...

Hi Colin, Clearly Shuttleworth is wonderful --something to behold. Fortunately I've been able to attend the season opening Silverstone event of VSCC a couple of times. The cars in the members' parking lot are both so varied and so interesting that in one weekend there, one sees more wonderful cars t...

Hi Mike, Hi Colin, Don't know if you saw my article last year in NASOC News about Ron Stauber's running Green Wings at Monterey. Nancy and I were there to see Ron, his son and the car, mainly, but also to visit with other vintage racing friends, particularly the Sunbeam contingent, Buck Triple with ...

PS: The inclusion of the Aston Martin was a perfect coincidence.

Nancy used to drive a DB7 convertible, saying that was as close as she was going to get to being a Bond Girl --buying the car...

I disagree. Heartily.

The occasion was a magical one, amplified by the presence of a small coterie of exceptional friends, with whom we are blessed. The posted photos capture the essence of the moment, but can't encompass my pride at Nancy's walking, albeit supported, without her brace for the first time in the two and a...

Colin, Your versatility and stick-to-it-iveness never fail to amaze me. I would be pulling out what's left of my hair with such obstacles! Before taking the LeMans Sports Coupe to British Invasion ( 550-700 cars of many prescriptions ) in Stowe, Vermont, I began taking apart BMX 7's windscreen. I wa...

Hi Colin, As always, you've done everyone a great service by providing photos and dimensions for this perished piece. While it's not one on which one could perform preventive care, knowing that an older piece like this can fail, and what to look for ( beginnings of a tear, for example, or the rivets...

Hello John, That's a comely car if I've ever seen one. Isn't it a stinker when things are getting close to right and something goes 'Bang'? Just as Phillip opined, I hope fervently that your work is neither complex nor terribly expensive. Very Best as you start the odyssey of taking it all back to b...

Everything you've done to date looks handsome as can be. Don't let that Christmas deadline intimidate you: work on it, breathe, repeat. I won't presume to speak for you. For me, however, it's the satisfaction of the little bits of completion that keep me going. And I try like mad to have three or fo...

Hi David, Absolutely brilliant and very nice photos. Looks as though you've had the kind of summer we've had over here. Is this a car with history, one that's been recently restored, or a new (re)creation of a once long ago race car? I love the look, scale and name. How did it sound? And how did it ...

You lot are being all too polite.

It's bloody beautiful.

Brilliant!

Hello again Darcy, As you'll be traveling in our part of the world, greater Boston, please feel invited to spend some time at our house where you can bask in the company of one, or perhaps by then two Singers. We've corresponded on these pages, so I hope you will feel comfortable contacting me, eith...

If anyone has a set of original red Singer Nine front seat covers that are going to be discarded, I would be interested in them. I have a wonderful car that has had new seat covers made for the front. The new seats are leather but their color, texture and visual 'feel' don't match the rear seats whi...
