Things came to a halt on the E-type for a little while as quite unexpectedly we had the chance to purchase a new house with lots more garage space, a big circular drive with court area and a second driveway with lots of secure parking behind garage. In addition it has a separate storage building for parts. Best of all it is in a really lovely area of large lots and nice homes, including some with stalls and horses, lots of trees and really nice neighbors – the woman across the road has an MGA. The downside is that house is a real fixer – and of course we had to move shop and the various cars to the new premises.
