1 - 1994 1.8 Eunos 'S' Special in Laguna Blue
It has taken us over a year to finally find a rot free and unmolested Eunos that would warrant a ground up restoration. The above picture show the car as it came off the delivery truck. The car was imported in 2007 and has been dry stored and not used for over 3 years. When the car was imported it had 99,500 km on the clock and now it reads127,000 km so if you take off the 3 years it has been off the road, it has covered less than 1,900 miles per year. We suspect that those were all dry miles as the underside of the car is really in superb original condition. The pictures below show the underside of the car and the areas that are usually very corroded.
We have a set of quite rare Enkei RP01's with as new Nankang tyres so these will be powder coated, probably in gold to contrast the Laguna Blue although this will be left till the end so our client can choose there preferred colour. Where ever possible we shall endeavour to keep our costs as low as possible without compromising our high standards.
The car will undergo a full restoration including the following;
Strip down to bare shell
Full subframe and running gear sandblast and repaint using full rust treatment then epoxy primer under acrylic topcoats
New Water pump, timing belt and pullies, crankshaft oil seals and half moons, cam box and CAS 'O' ring, ETC ETC........
Full professional re-spray
Photographic record of the restoration at every stage and presented with the car
Client can have a choice of wheels, exhaust, brakes, interior and anything that they would want to change from standard i.e. shocks, induction etc.
Below are other photos as the car is plus a few showing how the subrames and running gear will be when finished.

10th April
Underside of the car has been pressure washed and all loose and flaking underseal has been removed. Where the bare metal has been exposed, it has been rust treated - then 2 coats of underseal. You can see from the finished result how good the underneath of this car is. Those who are very observant will note the drain hole tubes have been removed so that we can make sure they are completely clean before replacing them back in.

Easter weekend
Photo shows a few of the wishbones after being acid dipped which removes ALL rust from the components. As you can see they are now like new and will have rust prevention treatment before being sprayed with Epoxy Primer then Acrylic two pack Black paint. We do this instead of powder coating as we find that when powder coating is hit by stones, water then gets under the coating and it lifts off very quickly - therefore we prefer acrylic paint.
Body shell and fittings are now ready for the Epoxy primer and should be ready for top coat by the end of the week.
If no-one has expressed interest in having this car finished in a particular colour, then it will be painted Laguna Blue and finished as a standard 'S' Special would have been when leaving the factory.

Our workshop has been quite busy so not the progress made that we had hoped for but we have started again. Subframes and running gear just about finished and we shall be painting in about a week in Laguna Blue unless someone is quick to secure it and wants a different colour. All brackets and other ancillaries are cleaned and painted along with most of the nuts and bolts refurbished and ready to go.

2 - 1991 1.6 Eunos 'V' Special in Black with tan interior
We are listing this car on behalf of our customer who bought this cr from us about two years ago but in that time has covered very few miles but has been extremely well cared for as you can see by the photos.
It is located in the Edinburgh area and if you contact us we shall pass on their contact details
Client is asking for offers in the region of £2,950 and viewings will be welcomed.
The description below is written by our client who describes the car in his own words;-
A desirable edition of an imported 1.6l Eunos Roadster, this example of a good condition V Special is black with a black soft top and BBS alloy wheels. The interior is finished in the V Special tan (leather seats, carpets and trim), with a wooden handbrake and gear knob, and has a leather steering wheel. It is fitted with a detachable Sony radio/CD player, power steering, electric windows, air conditioning, headrest speakers, stainless steel sill tread plates, a stainless steel exhaust and a factory-fitted immobiliser.
First registered in the UK in July 2005, the car has a 1597 cc, petrol engine, a 5-speed gearbox and has 189 872 km (117 980 mls) on the clock. Modifications include a Jasma 4-branch manifold and KYB adjustable shockers. Mechanically, it has been well-maintained and runs very well. Its MOT is through to 10th November 2019.
Overall, the condition is very good. The bodywork is solid, as is the underside, and has the original sills and arches. Given the age of the car, it does have minor bodywork marks but nothing of any concern or that detract from its appearance. Close up, the alloy wheels are showing signs of ageing. Two new front Firestone tyres were fitted in October 2017. While the carpets and door trims are in good condition, the seats are comfortable but, in areas, now looking a bit careworn. In summary, a lovely example of a classic sports car and a pleasure to drive.
