ERA GP2 Restoration Of The Year .....The Winner Tip Top Engineering

Congratulations to everybody that has taken part helping TIP TOP Engineering at Huddersfield to win the RAC restoration of the year 2024 with Jolyon Harrisons ERA " E " - Type GP2 . The award was with a joint winner the 1927 Bentley. I know myself the small part I played made me pinch myself working on this car to seeing the semi finished car it is today and development hopefully to produce results next year. And we all completed it's restoration 90 years since the first unveiling of ERA R1A to the public and press in 1934. Please keep watching next year for action on the tracks here and there and thanks to my subscribers. More different cars will hopefully be featured this year and next, and also my favourite of James's cars "The Blue Lady" Riley ERA will be worked on in the new year for further action !!!!!

So well deserved, but it would have been nice to have seen a smiling face and interview rather than an endless pic of the trophy ! But congratulations !

[@leodis55]

Yes possibly however I think James was a bit camera shy on this occasion which was his decision🤭

Having watched the GP2 saga from the start, it'll be weird if you didn't win it. Congratulations on the award!

[@leodis55]

In my mind ( not being biased .... much ) it's a good end to a long hard slog which was exciting and well worth the effort on the part of everybody involved. Keep watching for next years videos .
