We have been looking for some time for funding to get this vehicle back on the road again, as some significant work was required, therefore we are delighted to announce that we have secured Awards for All England funding from the Big Lottery Fund to enable KBB to be professionally restored.

The vehicle has now departed from our premises and will be restored over the coming months. Keep an eye out for regular updates on our Facebook page

We are seeking funds to complete the restoration of this fine vehicle, as despite being fortunate to be awarded a grant from the National Lottery, Big Lottery Fund, we still need to find a considerable amount to finish the work.
