Breaking News ........... Royal Kustoms are now official dealers for Gear Drive Speed & Custom. We have been using their awesome quality products for quite a while now and felt that it was time to add them to our selection of parts available. The designs are spot on and manufacturing standards are fantastic. You can see their full inventory at www.lakeheaders.com If you're interested give us a shout or drop us a line. Cheers, Jules

We don't normally like to blow our own trumpet. But on this occasion we are......
A massive well done to Tony and Mark for not only finishing the hardest rally there is THE PEKING TO PARIS RALLY but for coming 2nd place overall and only 2 and a bit minutes from 1st place.
Also 1 of only 3 vintage cars getting a Gold Medal out of a field of 28 vintage cars..
In the past we have had a 3rd place, 5th place and an unlucky 9th place last year that should have been a 3rd apart from a broken spring a week before the end of the rally.
Also a big well done to Jim and Jonathon in the AMX for finishing the rally, after a broken steering arm at the start of the rally put an end to a podium finish but they fixed it in the field and finished a respectful 7th in class.
And finally a big shout out to the crew at ROYAL KUSTOMS who make it all possible.

We are hiring so if you think you have the relevant experience and would like to join us at our busy workshop near Poole on the south coast send us a message via DM or [email protected]
We undertake a broad variety of work on classic, vintage and custom cars as well as hot rods. We have recently built vintage race and endurance rally cars as well as working on the occasional military vehicle. Our engine department specialises in vintage V8 Flathead engines from standard rebuilds to high performance race engines.
Applicants must have experience of working on classic cars and an interest in Hotrods and custom cars would be icing.

01202632046

If anyone needs to contact us can you call on the mobile number: 07802650577. The reception is a bit patchy but it should work.
We have been having some communications "teething" troubles since moving the workshop out to the sticks. We have also been trying to get our phone number changed to our new address for a month with no joy so if anyone has been trying to use our landline number please accept our apologies and send all complaints to Virgin Media. Cheers, Jules & Jim
