JD Classics, what have they been up to?

They've certainly got some front attending Retromobile etc under the same name. I don't understand why anyone with access to Google would touch them with a bargepole.

Whats the back story of the XJ13 rep they are parading at the moment? are they just fronting someone elses build or did they actually construct it?

I saw a half-built one in there many moons ago and work was going on - whether it was ever finished or not I don't recall

Their website spiel suggests they built it themselves, if you can take that at face value. It's an interesting vehicle nonetheless.

If they want to continue in a 'clean' manner, why not just continue as Woodham Mortimer and not resurrect the JDC name?

My guess would be that the name meant nothing to anyone, and sales/work fell off a cliff...hence returning to the JD Classics trading name.

My guess is that for the people with more money than sense, and maybe likely to be totally unaware of the Hood sorry saga, they are getting more customers from that group from using the old name.
Enthusiasts who wouldn't touch them with a barge pole are not their main customer base anyway.

Facebook reviews are ...interesting...!

In no rush to get the fake reviews removed, I expect.

Did you even get "training" during an apprenticeship? No, I'm not talking of the foreman sending you to the stores for "a long weight", but much more personal. During the school holidays I got a job on the assembly line at a TV factory in the south of England. On the Friday, after I was getting more adept, I was suddenly decended on by the women on the line and dragged to the toilets. I was stripped from the waist down and a tin of Kiwi black was liberally applied to my private parts. I've never forgotten that, nor my mother asking why I wanted a bath when I got home. One might say that I was "Pye eyed".

Yes - on the day before i got married. My treat was heavy machine grease. though, not shoe polish!

I like how all the spammy reviews are from financial fraudsters!
