| This 1959 Turner 950s has been the subject of an 11 year ground up restoration by Turner registrar Russell Filby , Russell aquired the car from Bob Keen of Bristol in October 2000 as a restoration project which had been off the road since 1972 , and the rebuild was finally completed in October 2011. The first post restoration outing for the car was for the Bristol Motor Clubs Spirit Of The 60s event which fell 11 years to the very day that the car was aquired by Russell. The bodywork was completed by Bodyshop Apprentices and Tutors at S&B Automotive Academy in Bristol. The top 3 photos were taken during the Prescott Classics On The Hill meeting during May 2012 |
