CHRIS’S SHED REGULARS

-

1 Chevrolet Corvette C3

It would have been rude not to include at least the nose of the first Chris Gaunt restoratio­n – Ian Ball’s car – in this group shot. PC writer Nigel Boothman got in on the act, too, far right with Delage.

2 Vauxhall Calibra

The daily transport for Corvette owner Don Banham is a well-preserved sporting Vauxhall. Chris will address various issues and return it to topnotch status when the ’vette is finished.

3 Chrysler New Yorker

Brian Palmer’s immense 1973 New Yorker (it just goes on and on) is in superb original condition and they’re both regular attendees at Chris’s garage – the car for light service work, Brian for the coffee!

4 Ford Mustang

This 1965 Mustang ‘notchback’ is a daily driver for Chris’s stepson, Macaulay. ‘I serviced it, put a new radiator and heater matrix in it and away it goes,’ says Chris. Cosmetic improvemen­ts may be in store later…

5 Delage

Chris’s neighbour Ken Guest is a man of taste, having not only this 1925 Delage (serviced by Chris) but also a 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider. Variety is one thing Chris’s daily workload seems to have in spades.
