Garage Build Chaos

[Max Swell]

I've tried to slim my signature strip down not make it larger! It is a 1991 Silver Spur II Mulliner Edition, one of 71 cars built of which just 23 were RHD and she is number 50. Stumbled across earlier this year in Nottingham at a dealer specialising in LHD cars who had sold her owners now domiciled in Spain a LHD car and taken the RR in part ex. He didn't really know what he had nor did he present the car in a remotely decent way. I am only the second owner and she has done 19,000 miles from new.

and pictures of another Mulliner edition but not mine to give you an idea of the spec, if anyone is interested I will post more detailed pics of my car when she is finished in a month or so.

I have to have one of these

- The left-hand picnic table houses writing materials, whilst that on the right-hand contains a smoker's companion comprising humidor, cedar-lined cigar compartment and Dunhill silver-plated cigar cutter.

Oh yes now that's quality

Best of British and they keep on going..!!

Robert - I rather thought the built-in humidor might appeal to a man of your refined tastes.

Absolutely, the sale was made as soon as I spotted that, riding in the back could be an issue though, depends who's driving..!!

Shouldn't be, being a Silver Spur it is a Long Wheel Base so loads of legroom in the back and individually adjustable rear seats too!

It's just that I like to drive mate and the comfort stuff is located in the back of this superb cigar puffing environment..!!

There has been some reasonable progress whilst I was away in Scotland, all the electrics are now complete and the floor has been tiled.





Outside there has been more planting and new turf has been laid so starting to look more like a garden again.







Parking lifts were ordered before I went away so hopefully in six to eight weeks they will be installed. In the meantime at least some of the cars now have a proper home.

Wow I would have put a ensuite in there along with a small kitchen and happy days.
Looks stunning and the garden is nice too.

Does look nice, just needs filling up with toys

You and me both, Phil. That's looking great, Robin. Good work.

Looking good but as previously asked; why the big old gap under the doors?

 

[philw696]

Ventilation Newton ? Free flowing air in a timber construction.
Nothing went rusty in the one I had built by Warwick Buildings 10 years ago.

What a stunning place. Maybe a few nice bits of motoring related artwork might work well. Not that it will really need it once the cars are all in there!

Honest answer is Warwick building specified one course of bricks and my builder laid two...... Not difficult to sort in reality and my builder will sort it and he knows it is down to him so no drama at the end of the day.

But which toys to put in there lol You are only round the corner come and help lol!

That's looking excellent Robin, amazing how quickly things can get transformed once the building is up, very well done..!! I would like to see these lifts actually installed, I am wondering if there is enough room in the roof void, I wait to be amazed..!!
