1980 Holden WB Kingswood Ute Project
It is not often that a car is built from the parts of five different donor vehicles. This 1929 Morris Cowley Flatnose was assembled from an array of dismantled Morris cars, collected over decades by Morris enthusiast Mark Randall.
The MG F-type Magna is a rare machine, with just 1250 examples built across three models, of which only 40-odd were roadsters. This example came to us with bent, rusty chassis members and a heavily oxidised aluminium body, but scarcity and prestige ensured it was well-worth saving.
Few people can say their grandfather hand built a groundbreaking prototype motorcycle in Australia. That is also what made this Wesson motorcycle one of those challenging builds we undertake at Finch.
This 1959 Mk2 Jaguar was the 59th Mk2 3.4 Litre built. The car is owned by Chris, a prominent South Australian wine-maker. In the late 1980s, Chris' wife had a scary accident when the brakes failed while she was driving the Mk2 through their local town.
It is not that often that you will meet a car that has been in the same family for nine decades. When we first received a call about this lovely 1933 Dodge Tourer, we were immediately interested to learn about its long lineage in New South Wales.

This project is the 'resto-mod' (restoration-modification) of a 1948 Jaguar 3½ Litre ‘Mark IV’ saloon. The owner in Victoria is looking for a comfortable and reliable daily driver and highway cruiser to complement his collection of authentic Jaguar vehicles.
A slight change of pace from many of the projects and restorations we do, this Thornycroft truck was designated to be a museum piece from project start.
