In this section we feature a number of recent restoration projects, some now completed
others ongoing.

1929 Humber

Currently being renovated is the 1929 Humber 350 ohc model (above). The engine is being rebuilt by John Kidson, BMCT Trustee, at his workshops in Stroud. The camshaft and followers were badly worn and have had to be re-profiled, and the magneto has been rebuilt. 
Here John is seen cleaning the parts (below right) ready for assembly.

The AJS S3 is now finished and on display at the Black Country Museum.
Here are some photos of the work in progress.
