:)Named after a battle ship of 1906, or a roofing tile made in the West Midlands I wonder what brought them to a name like that Tony Chris said " They where a class of iron clad battle ships from 1880s through some of the 1900s. It's a battle car for winning a duel" The plan was to do some competition Hillclimbs with it, in which case they'll be battling it out with other cars in their class. Now that would be worth watching!

Called to see Chris at Bespoke Bodywork the other day, and while there, took some snaps of a customer's Alvis that Chris is making a body for.
The remit was to have some of the lines similar to an Aston Martin DB4, and other lines similar to a (forgot the model) 1960's Ferrari.
Check out the pics...........

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers. The answer to most problems, fire and lots of it.

"Dreadnought" - out on the road!!
Was passing a bike shop today and what should I see sitting outside but Chris and Al with Dreadnought, along with a little 3-wheel BSA belonging to Chris' younger brother, and a model Y belonging to one of the guys from Bespoke Bodywork.
The mechanical gremlins have been sorted on the blown Rolls Royce motor, so I guess its shakedown time.
They were just about to leave, so the photos are a bit hurried, but it sure sounded good and tramped away like a good 'un!
There are some pics of some of Bespoke's work on this thread (incl little red Austin)http://www.mankymonkeymotors.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=14808.0

Waiting for passenger Al (gear selector and handbrake are both outside the cockpit) If you look through the grill, there's a nice modern electric fan which compliments the still-in-place original.
