The Auckland shed of Robin Foote

This garage/shed is home to four of his prize beauties, all lovingly semi-restored and at various stages of TTI (time till ignition). The projects in question are two cars – a 1956 Wolseley and a 1935 Hudson DeLuxe Eight – and two bikes – a 1930 BSA 500cc Sloper and a 1927 BSA 770cc V-twin. Three of these machines have a connection to Robin’s family history. Robin loves whittling the hours away restoring and preserving these family heirlooms that one day his children will inherit.
