My last major restoration was a full mechanical rebuilt in 2004/5 which lead us to embark on an Italian Tour to follow the 1955 route of the "Mille Miglia" as closely as we could in 2006.

Stirling Moss completed the 1955 route in 10hrs 7mins but we took 10 days and enjoyed the scenery, pasta & wine.

We are the 3rd owners of the BJ8 and purchased it with 32,000 miles, it has now completed 98,000 miles and we still give the car plenty of exercise.
