BSA C15 Otter Spl

A while ago I completed a very pretty and very light little C15 Faber "Otter" framed Special. The origin of the frame was from a company in Devon near the River Otter, Faber continue to build a development of this original "Otter" frame. We decided at an early stage in the build that it would be very appropriate to have a sign written tank instead of stickers. I was able to recommend a friend and highly respected portrait artist who also carries out very specialist work on cars of special interest and history. Mark is very busy and in great demand, he has now been able to schedule the fuel tank work and here is the completed rendition of the owner's and Mark's design.

Delage DISS Finishing Work

Image
Having run the Delage engine for the first time in many "tens" of years, here are some photos of routine inspection work and final little details. Additionally, a picture to remind us of how she will look before too long! Again, just as a reminder, much of this car was rebuilt in the early '70s by the current owners father, we are simply completing that process, adding paint and engineering touches only where absolutely necessary. The Delage is a lovely car with beautiful engineering throughout. Like the 3 litre W.O Bentley, It is certainly a car you feel you could travel on great adventures and if necessary, always be able to fix it and return home. I have only been responsible for the engineering / mechanical work but the work by Hugh, the coachbuilder, is beautiful and I am proud to display it in the following three photos

After lots of behind the scene panel work the paint and body are taking shape! Photos are not in correct sequence because the upload shuffles them for some reason.
