This is Mike Hyman's 1930 Junior Saloon VK 3304, called Victor, pictured on the day Mike completed his total restoration, which had been ongoing for the past eight years. Apart from the chromework, Mike has done all the work himself, including the respraying, trim and upholstery, headlining and vinyl roof. Scroll down for pictures of Victor as he was rolled out of David Godley's lock-up garage near Wolverhampton, where he had been awaiting restoration for over 15 years, plus many years before David took him as part payment for services rendered. Then follow Victor's progress through his restoration process: |

beams replaced/repaired and body woodwork completed so that shell could be lifted
from chassis and suspended from garage roof beams - a sort of 'out of body'experience! The chassis was then dismantled from underneath the body. Door frames, wings, seat bases, radiator and cowl wheels etc all repaired/rebuilt for attic storage. |
