VETERAN CAR WHEELS
I have made or repaired wheels for Maxwell, Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, Model T Ford, Autocar, Star,
White, Stanley, Argyll, Panhard et Levassor, De Dion Bouton, Belsize, Chrysler and probably others
which I don’t remember.
My techniques follow the old way of making them, and avoid distortions to the spun rims which other
wheelwrights risk.

There are lots of things which could impact on steamcars which are not all original.
Think I'll get a wheelchair instead!

Dear Sir or Madam
We understand from some vintage, classic and steam car owners that they are finding it very difficult locating a basket
maker to make a special basket for the rear of their cars (or for their personal use at rallies). Our small company,
consisting of my husband Paul (the chief basket maker) and I, have made a number of bespoke baskets for various types of
cars over the years. We would appreciate if you could accept our details for your members.
Paul has been making baskets for 12 years now and has received some very special commissions. Please view our web page
to view the quality of our work or pass on to your members.

Steam & General EngineeringRecently I had a new Stanley gauge returned under complaint. I
found that indeed it was not right.
Unfortunatly the owner had been rather brutal externally and had opened it,
rummaged in its giblets there by negating any sort of guarantee.
I was a bit, just a bit you understand, reluctant to repair, fit a new
movement and recalibrating.
The owner refused to pay so I returned the gauge to him.
Moral: "If its broke don't try to fix it, leave it to the experts".
