Wensum bodied Vauxhall 30/98 on Targa Florio
Our owner Andrew Mitchell getting into the classic spirit on the Targa Florio.
The car he is driving was entrusted to him by a client and has had much restorative work undertaken by Mitchell Motors including a full repaint subsequent to this event. The repaint was not required as a result of Andrew Mitchell's driving!
Interestingly, Vauxhall had two official bodies for the 30/98. These were the Velox tourer and a sporting version known as the “boat bodied” Wensum. The Wensum name came from the river that flows through Norwich.

DB6 chassis rust removal and restoration
.JPG) |
| Aston Martin DB6 chassis on jig to enable easier rust removal |
As per previous posts, Mitchell Motors has invested in new equipment to improve the process of removing old material such as rust and paint from vehicles. However, there are many occasions when there is no alternative to good old fashioned elbow grease and this is one....the removal of underseal - as well as other internal material -which by design is resistant to impact.
The DB6 chassis pictured will after many hours of work end up looking like new.
