We take our SLamborgini to London, what could possibly go wrong?!
Join us in this episode on our mission to take the SLamborgini to the big smoke. Yes after planning it for a few weeks we took, on a very early Sunday morning, a small crew, cameras and the star of the show which we trailered to our temporary base, thanks to artist Ben Radcliffe, for the morning. We hit the streets at around 6am starting in Shoreditch, via Brick Lane for Beigels then heading out through the city, to the West End and back through the city. We’ve built some head turners in our time but this was wild. As they heard us scraping up the street everyone stopped what they were doing and looked, snapped photos, but most importantly all had either looks of confusion or huge grins on their faces. That to us is the point of an artcar, not everyone will like what you’ve built but it’s that break from the norm, that flash of colour against a drab backdrop, repaid with a glance, a smile, a thumbs up. That’s not all either, we also find a new barn find project car, have some rather exciting news about the future of T2D and manage to blow up the engine on our Penfold Porsche 924, you do not want to miss this one!!Thanks as ever to the team at Type 2 Detectives and everyone who plays a part in making this series.

1965 Ex-German Fire Service Panel Van for sale
Переглядів 23 тис.21 день тому
1965 Firebus - Magirus Magirus, but what does it mean? Well…. This 1965 ex-german fire service panel van came to us looking fairly stock but reworked mechanically to be a bit of a sleeper. With only 41,000kms from new the original mechanics were in decent shape but in usual T2D style they could always be better. It now sports a narrowed beam on dropped spindles, rack and pinion steering, CSP di...
Basic buggy build and T2D at The Goodwood Revival 2024
Переглядів 38 тис.Місяць тому
We’ve built a few traditional buggies over the years from Empi Imps to Meyers Manx but this build hits a little bit different. We wanted to build a basic, brutalist, modern buggy with a limited colour palette and a couple of tasteful but beautifully engineered mods while still keeping the traditional buggy ethos. Big rear tyres, lightweight, small but hopped up engine, quick and agile, everythi...
