Amazing place.
I assume the F1 being sprayed is Mr Joy's.

Is this also the same place where all the old F1 cars are stored?

F1 JOY was in the workshop while we were there. Remember seeing it in silver at Wilton House.
Looks a bit different now

I assume you are referring to the F1 parts in the spray booth - it may well be #046

The blue F1 pictured in those shots isn't Clive Joys [#046] as the colour is to vibrant; the P1 he owns is a more subdued blue. The blue F1 shown was for sale through renowned high-end seller and all round good chap Simon Kidston and is #048

It looks like Clive has run into a bit of bother with his soon to be ex wife over his vintage Bentley
