Hallo Paul/Charles,Just a little note to say how pleased I am with the C type!As you know, the drive home to Holland was a bit of an “experience”, not only the extreme heat, but the car loosing all its power after 30 miles made it an exciting start.The “upper class” recovery service, i.e. a new Bentley with engineer, toolbox and parts is something I will never forget, looking at the pictures I took still puts a big grin on my face!The rest of the 400 mile trip went uneventful, I made a detour to visit Peter Jaye, he was very pleased to see his first C type again. We talked a lot about the car and the few people who owned the car before me. He agreed to talk to the two previous owners to see what documentation/pictures/history is available with them.After having had lunch at Peter’s house I continued my trip to Harwich. As I had plenty of time, I stayed clear of the Motorways and had a great time sorting out the country roads! What a piece of machinery! I do now realize even more how skilful, fit and brave the people driving these cars around Le Mans must have been.I have put another 300 miles on the cars since a got home, adjusted the steering wheel and got rid of a few rattles, squeaks and vibrations the car is now absolutely perfect!!!!This morning the FIVA Identity card arrived, thanks for the service!!Is there any news on the whereabouts of the tonneau cover?So, thank you both for the service provided, it was certainly a pleasure doing business with you, I am very pleased with the “whole package” i.e. the C type and Sherwood restorations, no doubt we haven’t seen the last of each other!All the best and good luck!! Gerard van Pelt

ACCREDITATION RECEIVED 22/4/05
Dear Paul / Charles...........I have always in the past regarded cars from Sherwood Restorations as for the elite who can afford mega money but must say that in the last 6 months I have had three absolutely wonderful cars from you all at very realistic prices, The A30 is of course just the very best, being a concours winner and represents great value at the price paid, the Jensen 541 is a real beauty and drives so well, and by not being perfect means I can get it wet and enjoy driving it as much as I like, this car in my opinion represents the best value available for thisd type of classic supercar, especially with all the work you did.I think my Jensenitis has developed into a severe case of Sherwooditis, I just hope it does not prove fatal.Once again, thanks and best wishes. Keith Austin
