Next Tellybox show and fast sheds

You may have noticed that the Evoke Classics website has this widget that lets you give us feedback on the site. We listen to every comment, suggestion and idea. This enables us tweak and update the site to keep on improving it, so thank you one and all.

However, one of the main questions we get asked is “Sarah, when will you be back on the telly box?”

Aww thanks guys, it’s really humbling. Well I am delighted to let you know that I will be back on UKTV for the next episode of Secrets of the Transport Museum this coming Tuesday, 15 February. More info on the button below, set your Betamax or VHS’ to record… Secrets of the Transport Museum

Austin Action

If you’ve been keeping your eye on our Auction Page you may have noticed that we have a couple of Austins on there, which I’m obviously delighted about! First up is a beautifully preserved Vanden Plas 1500 with just 32,000 miles on the clock, the other is a very pretty Austin Seven Chummy which has just emerged after a 20 year labour of love restoration.

Who would have thought that 100 years after their launch, the Austin Seven would still be bringing such joy to the classic car community. To mark the centenary, the Austin Seven Clubs’ Association are holding a week-long festival of celebrations in July to honour the humble little motor car. And with over 1000 Austins expected to participate in the gathering, it’s surely going to be a sight for sore eyes…

Fastest Shed

Talking of sights for sore eyes, I’m meeting up with a pal of mine on Sunday who built and owns the Fastest Shed in the UK. Now that really does turn heads…but possibly for all the wrong reasons!

The Shed will be at the Straightliners Open Weekend at Elvington Airfield on February 12 and 13, where he will join a display of top speed and drag race vehicles. It’s just occurred to me that if you might not have heard of The Fastest Shed, and you probably think that I’m winding you up…I’m not, honest! Here, have a read for yourself Fastest Shed – Wikipedia
