    From  JD:
    " We got the car at the shop  in February of 2017.
    It was in  in an advanced state of disassembly.

    Bob's [the current  owner] father was restoring the
    car  as  his  retirement  project  but  unfortunately
    passed away during the job (which was sometime
    in the 1990s).
    We  had  to  loosely  assemble  the  car  both  to  see
    what it was supposed to look like and to inventory
    the parts so we would know what was missing and             All gauges were  sent off to be  rebuilt and restored
    then take it apart, again.                                  by  a specialty firm in England.

    We were heavily dependent on other TB14 owners
    to send us detailed photos of specific areas of the
    car.   Experts   from  a  company  in  England  called
    Red Triangle,  Alvis suppliers and restorers,  were
    of tremendous help.

    We  finished  the  car  in  2021.   It  was  the  biggest
    challenge we have ever had at the shop. "
