    For those interested the Gwili Vintage Carriage Group Website has now been updated generally and with a summary of progress for 2008, including some of the detail in making and fitting various components.

    Interesting website Matt, I've book marked it. Also interesting is the history of TVR 153. Saved from a bungalow at 100 Southwood Road, Hayling Island. I was only there last week investigating next door, 102 Southwood Road! This property still contains two as yet, unknown coach bodies side by side with a corridor running between them. One is a brake of some kind, the other a 4/5 comp looks very much like LBSCR. There was no one home so I couldn't get too close. At one time most of the properties on the beach side of this street were made of coach bodies. These two are the only ones left.
