William Heynes - Jaguar Restorer and E-Type Specialist - Episode 57

Takona Tlks with William Heynes, Jaguar restorer specialising in early E-Types.I rather ignorantly didn’t know that much about William till we sat down for this chat, other than his amazing workshop and being married to Amy Shore (now Heynes). It turns out the William Heynes name goes back to his Grandfather, who Sir William Lyons approached to be chief engineer when starting Jaguar. William goes through this story properly in our conversation and shares an incredible insight into the ordeal that was his first Goodwood revival as a race engineer. We also go through his incredible story of heading to Goodwood as a race team for the first time, a rollercoaster of emotions throughout and something that deserves listening to. A real pleasure to record, and a great opportunity to see a proper craftsman in his element.This episode is also sponsored by Scalextric, use code Takona10 at checkout for 10% off! Hosted on Acast.
