Thank you so much for this one Iain and team. I'm sure it's not natural for the guys to get in front of the camera but Craig and James are both utter stars, so thanks for sharing the work you're doing with us all online. I laughed out loud at the "before" photos of the VW... James deserves a medal for "bestest mate ever" for his work on that! The Aston....wow! Manual Vantage owned from new?! That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I hope the owner still gets out and enjoys it. That Dino is going to be heart wrenchingly gorgeous when it's done.... I hope most of these restorations are for loving owners to enjoy and cherish rather than for cold investment reasons, because the love and care that goes into each one is very special indeed.

Craig is a legend with patience of a saint. And that DB6 - unbelievable. Brought back memories of trips to London as a kid. The highlight of the journey was passing through Newport Pagnell, where Aston was based at the time, and seeing what beauties were sitting on the premises. Those cars were so beautifully built - a friend had a wealthy uncle who had a DB4 from new, which he drove almost daily as intended and always serviced 'on the nose', so to speak. He had his first engine problem with it at 250k miles. And because he had a complete service history, all the stamps, and had never exceeded a service interval, it was fixed free of charge. Tadek Marek designed a masterpiece with that engine. Keep up the fantastic work Iain, always a pleasure to see what you're up to.

His work leaves me in total admiration. I really enjoyed this one as I owned a MK1 E type in the 70s, but exchanged it for an e works Mini Cooper S as I simply did not fit in the Jag at 6ft 2ins!! I did know a guy some decades ago who fitted a Porsche engine in a VW van with superb results. And as for the DB6....speechless. Keep well. Cheers, Bob

Confusingly, the aircooled engines are also categorized type 1 - type 4. T1 was the first bus generation - today, the T7 is on sale. The first T1s had mindblowing 25hp.

Dear Iain, . For demographics, I’m a 63-year-old “U.S. American,” to differentiate myself from all the other nationalities which are ALSO ‘American’. . “I rise today,” to say how much I enjoy you’re being an old-world gentleman-I pick up on the cues very well: For example, when you advise us to see your “Merch Shop,” you’re completely self-effacing about it. I wouldn’t reproach you if you did flog your latest Merch, but you take pains to not do that. . And just in your whole manner, you’re jovial with and supportive of your interior & body specialists, and appreciative of their work, which is stellar, of course. . Whatever our actual ages are, I feel we’re on the SAME WAVELENGTH, & I can feel the signs of a polite, beautiful show. . Kudos, and thank you!

I think when it comes to this level of classic car all the restoration work actually adds value over and above what it costs, especially when it’s to such a high standard as this.

Fantastic upload going through the utmost delicate portions of projects, seeing the progress in their stages and the sheer natural strive to absolute perfection by everyone involved in the crew. Especially the VW bus and DB6 both were a pleasing extra. It might be different in the UK but in the Germany the VW bus manufactured up to 1967 were all type 2 of course (Type 1 being the beetle) but coded T1a, T1b and T1c. The successor model was the T2 which is a different and larger design. The next successor was the T3, etc. 'T' standing for the Transporter platform whilst 'Type' standing for differentiation of the beetle and T platform. A tad confusing perhaps. It is such a pleasure to see all the cars in the background as well. Thanks a million again for another mind-boggling upload 💓
