This is Steve Pegram’s 1932 Junior Saloon, which he bought in January 2000 and has just got back on the road for the first time since it was crashed in thick fog 35 years ago by Mr R Ashley from Lincoln. Steve has done a virtual ground-up restoration, involving overhauling the engine, renewing the crown wheel and pinion, replacing 70% of the woodwork incl. new bedplates, door pillars and floor, making a new fuel tank and wiring loom, grit-blasting the wings and running boards and giving them 12 coats of paint. It took Steve just 11 months to get the car fit for its MOT test. Steve says 20% of the car was missing and he has either made items, found them at autojumbles or through ASCO. There’s still plenty to do - all the upholstery and door trimmings, making and fitting the sliding roof, the running board aluminium tread plates and the final respray.

teve has now created his own Singer Junior website - www.stevepegram.net43.co.uk - which has many pictures and the full story of his Junior, which he has called "Willit" (as in 'will it start?', 'will it get up this hill?' etc)
