'32 Phaeton - 
The body was bought around 1993-94 from well-known body importer and friend to the hot rodder John Reid, who had brought it in for a customer who, on viewing, thought it too far gone.  I paid the princely sum of £450 for it and spent the next couple of years putting it together using mainly stock RHD English running gear and an ex-WD 21 stud crate engine.  Fenders have been on and off it many times over the years and it finally received a top in 2005.  It was raced in the first ever Flathead Meltdown which cost me a gearbox during a heavy qualifying session!  It then took part in a few more of the early Meltdowns, but it has now taken on more of a resto-look so I think it’s racing career is over although never say never!

'32 Coupe –
The coupe was originally built by me in 1988 and was used loads but was then sold on in ‘94 when the phaeton came along.  I always semi-regretted selling it and was surprised, in 2004, to receive a call from the bloke I sold it to asking if I wanted it back as he was emigrating.  I went down for a look and it was still sat in the garage I had delivered it to ten years previously having not been on the road in all that time.  A deal was struck and it was mine again.   After a quick makeover it ran the Meltdown in 2004 and ’05.  It is currently undergoing a major rebuild and will be unchanneled and fully fendered.  I’m looking forward to getting it done and running it in the Meltdown again.
