Over the years many of us have been called upon to clean up and get into the press, so here are a number of articles that have given our cars their five minutes of 'fame' before moving swiftly on to next weeks chip wrapper. It is a lovely souvenir to have with your car and from time to time you can open a magazine and there on the page is a little something from your very own garage for all the world to see ......... how nice is that.

Here we have an old article 'Fast Noise' from December/January 1997 Triumph World featuring Richard's Vitesse.
Loads of work had gone into restoring this Vitesse with Richard kitting it out with everything he could think of to add.....
Full leather interior, massive stereo - to drown out the slurping noises from the petrol being enthusiastically drunk by the triple webbers feeding the 2.5lt triumph engine.
Great article, great car, and sometimes when there is a sale on at the petrol station, Richard still takes it out.....
