Comments Off on Jaguar off to Germany when the coast is clear

1999 Jaguar XK8 – Sold at a distance on the internet with a decent video and pictures. It’s new owner in Germany will be enjoying this once we are back in the workshop and allowed out of our storage – only then can we can release the beast. It’s great that customers are still planning for the future. This will end and life will go on, it always does as long as we all act sensibly and stay positive and respect distancing rules and advice. If you’re after a positive, optimistic outlook then look no further than a British sportscar specialist !

Great bit of Blackpool magic and something totally time warp, that thankfully was stored correctly.

Further to the government announcement last night looking into a road map to ease lock-down in the workplace

Under initial lock-down garages with workshops were allowed to operate, but due to safety concerns (our customers come from far and wide to deal with us), also wishing to be on point with the national cause of Stay Home, Protect the NHS and save lives, we chose rightly to suspend operations as per government advice
