Well, as they say, “All good things must come to an end”
Over the past 40 years, I have purchased many new body panels,supplied to thousands of owners, allowing the restoration, or maintenance of their “Pride and Joy” to allow the continued use of, and eventual passing on to the next custodians of these pieces of history.
Never claiming to be original, these reproduction panels, made by Jimbo, (at 94 the oldest tinsmith in Bedfordshire if not the country) his vast experience, starting with making tin kettles at the age of 14, then moving forward to acquire over decades the machine tools, fly presses wheeling machines all from the Victorian Age of Engineering, slowly building up all the “profiles” moulds jigs and even original panels.
Jim was a gentleman to deal with, and I’m pleased to have this opportunity to record a small, but none the less sincere, “Thank You”
Regrettably, in August this year, his ramshackle timber shed with a unique “old age” charm fell victim to a massive wild fire which engulfed the building, bringing this era to an end.
Efforts of the combined fire crews from three counties allowed the saving of the panels I now start to list, only a fraction of the original stock, and never to be replaced.
And so, sadly, I will no longer be able to supply Bedford CA and CF repair panels, but the good nes is that I have, over the forty years, assembled a large collection of original doors, wings, etc which were going to be kept as pattern sources, but which I now offer for sale.
They are all new, but of course may have a few, age related minor dints and marks, and sometimes, but not always, minor surface rust.
None of these defects are major, and are easily rectified with the correct preparation and experience.
