    Our '32 Ford Coupe de grace!

    As per our first post on the NSRA forum we are happy to announce that the ex Pete Tyas coupe is returning to the UK.

    We have been Hot rod and classic car enthusiasts for many years during which time we have been very fortunate to work on some very special cars and meet some amazing people. Having first encountered the coupe de grace in 1998 the car made a lasting impression that I have been unable to shake. This year the dream has finally been realized and I am happy to report that the car will be returning to the UK within the next couple of months under our custodianship.

    If any of you are interested in following the journey of the Coupe de grace home our Facebook page is DM Classics Limited where we will post regular updates. We will also keep you guys on the Forum updated.

    Please find attached some images of the coupe as she is today.

    We hope to see you all on the show circuit next year!

    Always really liked this car. Looks like about the only thing that's changed since I photographed it at Billing in 2000 is the tyres!

    An iconic British hot rod. Good to see it coming back home.

    Who cares If It's glass or steel, It's still a hot rod.

    Pete's coupe is a lovely rod, as a side note I was lucky enough to be voted joint hotrod of the year with Pete in my gold coupe back in 99/2000.
    seems a lifetime ago now.

    I have some memrobelia of that rod if you want it before and after photos, plane and then with the scollops and webs that rearly made the paint pop. A fantastic car I could never get enough of. Saw it at Doncaster race course and mostly at shaky when crusty gave it a work out. Do I post it to DM classics limited?
