Our first grandchild Jamie Andrew William who arrived on the 26th September 2007 in his Marmet Queen.
For everyone who has been kind enough to ask how Jamie is ...........................
Jamie is just getting more and more adorable!
At last we have completed the restoration of our second Marmet Queen.
And we can never thank Pat enough for re linning our Marquise and the wonderful job she has done recovering our parasol. Pat, you are indeed a talented lady !!!!!
All our prams below are available for purchase:
Wilson Silver Shadow - 1980's - Ref: PoD 02
1980's Wilson Silver Shadow. Slightly marked 36" x 19" cream body with chrome and brown trim, on 20" and 14" chrome wheels with tyres in good condition with no cracks. Chrome is in excellent condition. There is a small scratch behind the matching bag, which is not noticable when bag is in place. There is also a small mark on the side of the body right at the bottom that is easily touched up. The hood has a small hole near one of the corner protectors but by no means detracts from the condition of this 30 year old beauty. The excellent ivory interior is unmarked and a footwell is placed in the bottom of the pram so when baby is old enough to sit up, they can do so in comfort. All leather straps are in good condition and the brake in perfect working order. Pram comes complete with adjustable canopy, pram cover and matching bag, all vintage. Chassis could do with touching up but is perfectly useable as it is.
Available at £295 with delivery extra if required.

Wilson - Silver Shadow - 1968 - Ref: 001.
Totally original 1968 Wilson Silver Shadow coach built pram, having a 40" body on leather strap suspension with the chassis riding on 22" and 16" chromed wheels with white tyres. The unmarked and umblemished original body is finished in silver grey with a chrome strake and blue coach lines with the chassis in matching colour. This is complemented by a navy hood and apron with a white interior all of which are original with no fabric cracks or colour fading. All chrome is in excellent condition. The interior comes complete with a white mattress, adjustable backrest and baby harness clips. The pram comes complete with an adjustable canopy with a white removable broidery anglais cover and a chassis mounted chrome shopping tray. The pram would benefit from a replacement handle as the original has somewhat yellowed over the years and has some surface pitting. This pram was purchased in 1968 for the birth of the vendors son and has been lovingly stored by granny for the past 30+ years in her spare bedroom. Alas this is no longer possible and lack of suitable storage space, no grandchildren to enjoy it, reluctantly forces it to be offered for sale.
