Restoration

     Roger has spent many hours carefully and lovingly restoring the Austin A60, which we believe to be only one of two remaining in the UK. This really is a unique classic hearse. 

    Film Work

      Our A60 has also become quite the film star. Having recently made a return to the limelight after some years away from the camera. 

      The A60 featured in a Monty Python many years ago. 

      But more recently, has been on the set of 'The Crown' a Netflix series, which was first aired in November 2019. Not long after the first appearance after the restoration, our A60 was called back up. This time to feature in a BBC drama, 'The Trial Of Christine Keeler' which first aired the end of 2019. You may have even caught a glimpse of Roger on screen.
