Dream Cottage Renovation

A genuine Grubby Cottage...

My heart is skipping a beat with this little treasure... 

Mr. Grubby Cottage and I are bursting at the seams with inspiration and ideas on how to bring this little gem back to life...

This could be the most beautiful family home. I want this cottage so much I could cry. 

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Which Car to Tow Sprite 400 Caravan?

There was a healthy debate at Grubby Cottage about which car we should buy to tow and show my vintage Sprite 400 Caravan.

My inspiration came from a Morris Minor... 

Mr. Grubby Cottage however had plans of a 1968 Mustang!

Look who won...

Our 2nd Sprite Restoration. It's addictive!

There has been a slight delay in the restoration of Miss Potter but with good cause...

We decided to save another Sprite 400. It's addictive!

Tea for two.

I renovated the interior in Farrow & Ball paints and Laura Ashley fabrics whilst Mr. Grubby Cottage did the all important messy and greasy mechanical work on the chassis and body. Whilst being quite a challenge, in many ways, this restoration has been a true labour of love. What should have gone to scrap now has a new lease of life. Born 1968 and still going strong... Perfect!
