MOTOR CARS | 71The car was trailered to Richard Jones' workshop for rewiring, and then
on to an exhaust specialist. After another sojourn in the New Forest, it
came back to the vendor's workshop at the end of 2009.
The vendor then took over the project management and arranged for the
painting of the car, its re-upholstery, the reconditioning of the steering
box, a second rebuild of the front and rear springs, and many other
finishing tasks. An MoT certificate was successfully obtained on 1 th
August 2010.
Initially, the vendor drove the Invicta for a series of short runs to
understand and improve the car's handling and performance, making
adQustments on every outing" fitting the reconditioned Luvax shock
absorbers greatly improved the ride and handling. In March 2011, the car
was taken to the Open Day at Jim Stokes Workshop in Waterlooville,
where it attracted much attention and many generous comments. Since
then the car has been driven without incident, on a regular basis for
pleasure, as well as to several events and meetings.
Very good 'Low Chassis' Invictas have been known to change hands
for in excess of £1m, which makes this faithful S-Type re-creation
exceptional value for money.
