Tim Harrison may have the only brown HG Kingswood in existence with actual sex appeal

Wind the clock back a few decades and the notion of a brown Kingswood being considered anything more than grandpa’s bingo runner would have been laughable. Yet while it’s not as if brown has made a fashionable comeback for 2020, Tim Harrison’s stunning HG Kingswood is a prime example of how you can make just about any colour look good with the right recipe.

It should come as no surprise that Tim’s HG looks as stunning as it does, given he’s been in the panel-beating trade since he was 18. But an extreme makeover definitely wasn’t on the cards initially.

“I got it from a mate with the intention of flipping it for a quick profit,” says Tim. “But then I decided to change the colour, wound up going in too deep and it blew out into a four-year build!”

When Tim got the car off his mate it was an unfinished project, but all the important foundations for a seriously gnarly street cruiser had already been laid down. “It already had the engine and the tubs were mostly done, so we hooked into it pretty much as soon as I got it,” he says.
