Thanks for re-posting the pictures.

In case anyone wonders, early this a.m. I clicked to delete someone's duplicate posts in the original thread, but in my pre-awake, heavily dozed state, I deleted the thread instead, doh Smile

I see we have cleared up the confusion over the model of car you have been restoring.

It started off as a blog about a friends Jaguar MK11 but now it is the correct description of a Jaguar MK1.

As a business that restores vehicles and has a website advertised on this forum,I thought you would have known exactly the make and model of car you were about to carry work on.

I would hate to give my Humber Sceptre MK1 to a restorer who thought it was a MK11.

As I stated in the previous post this was named by MKII not by me, but by my client. He has also told that originally it was on the base of MKII with some parts changed by previous owner.
From good quality bodywork perspective it doesn't matter how do you call your car. If you want to make a tank on the basis of Mercedes from metal sheet I can also do this Very Happy
If you would prefer to have a business with company who knows better catalogue name rather than has high quality of metal or paint work it is still your choice.
By the way, I've made Humber couple of years ago. Kill me, but I don't remember it's full name. Very Happy Customer was quite happy with quality of works done and it is the best valuation for me.
The classics world are huge and I don't think that somebody knows all names of all classics

Rclassic, I would be happy to entrust you with bodywork repairs on any car I owned. It's nonsense for anyone to suggest that you shouldn't really restore cars when you don't know the model or mark. You are replacing steel accurate and true to the original. Your careful measurement and fabrication looks better than any pattern panel that could be bought.
I don't understand how anyone can cast such doubt on your qualifications for what you do Confused

I agree with Colwyn500, point well made... Rclassic you are welcome to finish my current project ~ as long as you don't need any money ~ I will happily pop over regularly to watch, learn and make the tea. I will even bring the biscuits. Wink
