The irony of me supporting my new classic car restoration business by selling some of my own classic car collection is not wasted on me, said Hammond, who lives in Weston-under-Penyard, near Ross-on-Wye. He added: It is with a very heavy heart that they go, as they have a great deal of personal sentimental value, but they will be funding the future development of the business and giving life back to countless other classic vehicles. A fully restored Ford RS2000 also owned by Hammond was initially destined to be sold separately to the main collection during the same weekend, but this has been deferred until the Practical Classics Classic Car & Restoration Show Sale in September. By doing so, it will allow The Smallest Cog to ensure that the Ford is at its very best for sale.
