I'm sure Mr carter will do an excellent restoration on your car as he has been very supportive with mine (he got me through two MOT's) and I've seen he has restored two launch cars plus an older Leyland motor from the 70's to a remarkable standard! Just a shame he moved to Wales as he was my localised T4 specialist, hopefully will go up an see him in a few months time! We made his website for him and got him started in his new internet business and it seems to be going very well for him, he is very professional with his rover 75's an MG ZT's.
Good and nice to see him doing another really good project! Fabulous colour by the way! love that rainbow look!

Sean looks after all four of my cars now, although the move to Wales has made the logistics a little tricky; much more planning is needed now! He did the respray and work on my Primrose Yellow and that looks fabulous now!
Spike, my original 75, is due to go up to him in May for some major refitting before I retire the car to my little 75/ZT museum that I'm planning! Business is thriving for Sean: he's so busy with orders and he seems really happy with the move.

Finally Back on the Road
Well, after 15 months of hard work, a lot of frustration and a lot more money than I'd ever get back from it, the Spectre ZT is back on the road. Painstakingly rebuilt by Sean Carter and then getting a full detailing inside and out. Still a few tiny bits to sort out but I'm delighted to have saved this wonderful car and got it back on the road.
I will be at the Ragley Hall meet on Easter Sunday, if you want to come and say hello!
