Classic Car News: Studying Classic Cars Provides A Degree Of Satisfaction
Most of us go to college or university to work hard and play harder. This is the philosophy of twelve teenagers, studying vehicle body repairs at Sandwell College, who have experienced the satisfaction of restoring a 1982 classic Mini.
Working on and restoring a classic car as part of an assignment takes the word ‘practical’ to a whole new level. However, what could be more practical than getting your students to restore your classic car back to its former glory?
The students in question haven’t simply given the motor a new lick of paint, they have given it a new lease of life. “The once lime green Mini has now been painted flame red”, according to ExpressandStar.com, making it look a million dollars.
A million dollars is far from the £250 the college lecturer paid for this lump of metal, but he has admitted to spending a further £5,500 of his own money for parts needed for the students to restore the car.
The best way to prove your enthusiasm for a classic automobile is to help restore it to its original splendour, which is exactly what these twelve college students did. The owner has said that he has been a lecturer at the college for more than 10 years and has “never seen students demonstrate such enthusiasm for a car”.
