My favorite part of the FHVI ITC Hotels’ Historic Vehicle Drive 2023, was having an opportunity to interact with the incredibly enthusiastic students of Raintree Schools. Introducing them to the world of Historic Vehicles and creating an atmosphere that engages and integrates the children with the older generations. Speaking the language of passion transcends all age groups and barriers carrying this love forward ❤️ . @federationofhistoricvehicles @raintreeschools @itcwindsor Photo Credit: @raintreeschools @i_am_deepith Video credit: @yourblues_atbay, @i_am_deepith . . . . . #classicchase #cargirls #fhvi #historicdrive #drivetorevive #fiva #historicvehicles #preserve #protect

One of our favourite machines at the workshop, the Lathe! Also known as the ‘Mother of all Machining Tools’! And rightly so… Thanks to it’s varied functions, the lathe is a single machine that could essentially, build itself ie. a lathe has the ability to create a working version of another lathe! As a result this phenomenal machine, was known to jump start the Industrial Revolution.  It’s function  – it rotates a piece of metal or wood on an axis in order to perform various tasks like turning, facing, boring, drilling, reaming, broaching, lapping, milling, forming and so on. Here’s a picture of our lathe in action . .

Mini Throwback! When your boss, Sir Leonard Lord, of the Morris Company, tells you to wipe those “blasted bubble cars off the road”, design a small car that would transport four adults using as little fuel as possible (considering the oil shortages due to the Suez crisis), Alec Issigonis, had no choice but to reinvent the wheel and create history! Sir Issigonis, decided to, for first time ever, make more room in the cockpit by having the engine mounted transversely, placed the gearbox under the engine, added tiny 10 inch wheels, pushed these wheels all the way out to the corners and voila, in 1959 a little miracle machine just over 10 feet in length was born!! . .
