Check out this stunningly immaculate 1988 Nissan Bluebird and South African-specced E30 BMW 327i Sport – uprated from a 325i – belonging to Irfan Mahboob and his father Mohammed Mahboob. These were at the Birmingham NEC Classic Car Restoration Show yesterday. An amazing and superbly presented twin set of cars.

Met Mike Sharman at the Classic Car Auctions at the NEC Classic Restoration Show. He had his unique Jaguar XJ-S hatchback up for sale. It’s still available for just over £16k now. As an apprentice at Jaguar, he had drawn up plans for a hatchback version of the XJ-S, but they never made one. So he created this out of a Audi TT rear hatch. This is the second one he has done and is based on the awesome TWR Sport version from 1987. Cool car, and it was lovely to meet him!
