the final Max’s Mutterings is now up on the vintagemotorgarage.com blog.

the latest episode of Max’s Mutterings is now on the website. vintagemotorgarage.com My father’s account of the 1000 miles in 24 hours he and Rob Gunnell did in their 1923 Alvises to commemorate 50 years since the Alvis 12/50 won the 200 mile race at Brooklands at an average speed of over 93 MPH! #vintagemotorgarage #oldcar #vintage #motor #garage #restoration #reconstruction #carrestoration #restoredcars #recreate #oldnew #vehicle #vintagelife #vmg #machining #oldcarparts #makenew #diyrestoration #50yearsofrestoration #sameoldshed #alvis #alvis1250 #1000miles #24hours #1923

a pair we did earlier. The Derby is still here after some servicing work as the owner isn’t game to drive it in the current lockup environment and dad’s Speed 6 is in to have the leaking fuel pump repaired. Couldn’t resist taking a photo #vintagebentley #derbybentley #speed6 #bentley #bentleyspeedsix #bentleyspeed6 #vintagemotorgarage #oldcar #vintage #motor #garage #restoration #reconstruction #carrestoration #restoredcars #recreate #oldnew #vehicle #vintagelife #vmg #machining #oldcarparts #makenew #diyrestoration #50yearsofrestoration #sameoldshed #1929 #1936 #1929bentley #1936bentley

some thoughts on bicycle frame geometry and fit after some recent rides at vintagemotorgarage.com Jonathans Gibberish (link in bio) and facebook “Vintage Motor Garage” and “Jonathan Houston Classic Racing” #bicycleframe #bicycleframebuilding #bicyclegeometry #retrocycling #framebuilding #bicycleracing #jonhoustonracingframes #vintagemotorgarage #oldcar #vintage #motor #garage #restoration #reconstruction #carrestoration #restoredcars #recreate #oldnew #vehicle #vintagelife #vmg #machining #oldcarparts #makenew #diyrestoration #50yearsofrestoration #sameoldshed

just completed overhauling these Luvax shocks for a 1934 Armstrong Siddeley.

new main bearings poured, bored and crankshaft fitting. 1923 Alvis 12/50. This engine was “blown up” by my father in the early ‘60’s, was welded and sat around ever since. It will be good to see the car reunited with it’s original engine 60 years later!

A pair of blue 4-1/4 litre Bentley saloons. The closest one we took over and finished the restoration of a couple of years ago, the one with the white wall tyres we carried out a major ground up restoration on about 25 years ago. Back then it won pretty much everything there was to win at Rolls Royce State and National level, it still looks fantastic, here for a service for the new owner.
