Judges Choice at the Best of Britain Showcase – Hillman Husky

We were genuinely shocked and honoured to be invited to the Best of Britain showcase at the Hot Rod & Custom Show.

To then come away with the ‘Judges Choice’ award for the Hillman Husky was something else entirely.

A Vision Realised

This wasn’t just a car built to win trophies. It started as a vision of mine. We aimed for something a bit different, something that didn’t follow the usual formulas. Our goal was to create a car that would spark conversation, divide opinion, and most importantly, make people smile.

And that’s exactly what it’s done. Seeing it recognised by the judges, who clearly understood that same vision, means a huge amount to us.

The Journey of Restoration

Like most builds, it’s not perfect. It still throws its challenges at us—strange noises, the odd smell, and the kind of quirks that keep you on your toes. But the moment you get it out on the open road and put your foot down… none of that matters.

That’s what it’s all about. That feeling is the reason we do what we do.

Celebrating Achievements

A big thank you to the judges for the recognition, and to everyone who stopped by for a chat over the weekend. It’s always a pleasure catching up with familiar faces, meeting new people, and discussing these incredible builds with others who share the same passion.

To top it all off, the Chevrolet Bel Air we restored a few years back picked up ‘Best Paint’—which is something we’re incredibly proud of.

The Importance of Community

We believe that the classic car community is one of the most vibrant and welcoming groups out there. It's not just about the cars; it's about the stories, the friendships, and the shared experiences. Every conversation we have adds to our journey.

When we connect with fellow enthusiasts, we exchange ideas and inspiration. This community fuels our passion and drives us to push the boundaries of traditional restoration. We learn from each other, and that’s what makes this journey so rewarding.

Looking Ahead

As we reflect on our recent successes, we’re excited about what the future holds. We’re always looking for new projects that challenge our creativity and skills. If you have a passion project that needs help and advice, then get in touch! We would be pleased to help!

Final Thoughts

In the world of classic car restoration, every build tells a story. Each project is a unique blend of nostalgia and innovation. We’re committed to delivering award-winning vehicles that combine nostalgic elegance with modern performance and safety.

Thank you for being part of our journey. We can’t wait to see what we create together next!
