Been interviewing members of the public for
a feature about restoring cars. I’ve included four vehicles, a 1986 Ford Escort
XR3i, an Eighties’ MkI Range Rover and a 911 S from 1972. There’s also a chap
who has half a dozen Vauxhall Vivas in various states of repair. I’m full of
admiration for people who do this as a hobby and I can imagine the huge amounts
of satisfaction they get from completing elements of a project and then the
whole thing. Like most car enthusiasts, I simply haven’t the confidence to do
it. The one piece of advice all four interviewees have for people like me is to
get stuck in; the only way you learn anything is by giving it a go. I’m not
sure how technically minded I am – I can just about keep my family’s extensive
collection of push-bikes on the road – and the other thing is having the time
to commit. Maybe one day.

I'm doing exactly that with my Mercedes, Richard. Haven't had the confidence to do it up to now, but am now committed. Will keep you posted on his it goes!
