Frank Dale Comment

We have known this R Type Continental for many decades and supplied it via our sales department in recent years. At point of sale, it was a good sound car that drove well but had deteriorated in some areas over time. The new owner instructed a complete nut and bolt restoration, to the highest concours standards. A complete strip down ensued, followed by every aspect of the car being mechanically or structurally rebuilt and restored. Once rebuilt, each area of the car was comprehensively cosmetically restored to show condition. The coachwork is now finished in Circassian blue, complemented by a unique Vaumol Oxblood leather interior produced especially for us by Connolly. The finished car will be toured and shown at the highest level across the world, a great example of the concours standard restoration work we carry out.
