VEHICLES
"Dinky" - 1979 VW Type2 Campervan (Bay window)
I purchased "Dinky" in 1997, believed to be owned locally from new, he was then beige and white. We used him for camping locally that year then I set about restoring him (with a lot of  help), mainly bodywork and chassis and a change of colour to orange and white.

During the next 10 years or so we used him for camping trips, thoroughly enjoying tours around the UK and Ireland and many local trips into the Lakes. He was also used for Daley and Sara’s wedding, perhaps a taste of things to follow.

Sadly due to another project he became neglected, was parked outside and deteriorated rapidly.  I then decided to restore him again to his former glory.  This time even more work including full bodywork, chassis, engine rebuild, full interior and most running parts replaced. Only about 5% not touched. He is now looking great and is used regularly for camping and in business for all to enjoy!
"Larry"-2009 Land Rover Defender 110 Station Wagon
My original Larry arrived at my house as a chassis and lots of boxes of bits in 2001.  This was a 1960 Series 2A originally used as a Fire tender for British Steel. Again a lot of help was needed to restore him as a pickup.  He was used daily and was great fun, but with regret he was sold.
Fortunately he is now replaced by a modern version. This vehicle took months to locate fitting my exact requirements a great find in this condition. The seat versatility allows various options for passengers. The height of the vehicle provides for excellent views catching panoramas usually missed. This vehicle is ideal for events and experience days. Additionally unique and quirky for weddings, allowing access to more remote areas for those all-important photos.

"Tom" - 1972 David Brown 885 tractor, complete with transport box

I purchased "Tom" in 2016 as a restoration project from a local farmer.  Investigations revealed that the tractor was origninally owned by a neighbouring farm.  I thought it would be fun and something a bit different to use for wedding transport.  After some thought I came up with the idea of modifying a transport box and had this custom made to seat 3 passengers.  I kept the original livery of the David Brown
