When Harry Met Peggy: The Perils of Restoring a Classic Austin 1100

'One day I will look back and laugh, but not just yet.' Harry's life had been stuck in neutral until he discovered Peggy lying in a field. It then promptly went into reverse. Is Peggy the romantic interest of this story or two tons of automotive scrap metal? Harry's subsequent restoration project takes us on a journey through a life that has more bumps than the A12 and a cast of eccentric characters who are caught up in the joy of attempting the impossible, just for the sheer love of it. This is the story of one man's attempt to restore an Austin 1100. Along the way it also becomes the story of one man's attempt to restore himself, and as anyone who's ever tried their hand at restoration knows, you can't rebuild something without taking it apart first. This book is for anyone who wants to follow their dream but has forgotten to take out breakdown insurance for it.
