Above: Bob Mills, Roger Frank and new owner David Turner photographed with the Jagatti by Keith Lidgerwood.
In 2009 Keith Lidgerwood and Bob Mills created a unique Teal Type 35 with the new 35B front suspension, and fitted this Teal with a Jaguar 6-cylinder 4.2 litre engine. These engines are usually only seen in Teal Type 59s. Below is the Teal in the workshop at Sorbie, Cheshire, and other photos show roll-out day, when new owner David Turner of Yorkshire picked up the Jagatti, with builders and Tealers Keith, Bob and Roger in attendance. David planned to complete the Teal by fitting the instruments, carrying out the wiring, changing the steering wheel and fitting Brooklands screens.

Keith hands over the Jagatti and new owner David Turner makes sure all is secure for the journey to N. Yorkshire.
TRIBUTE:
Over many years from the late 1990s to 2012 Keith Lidgerwood and Bob Mills in the workshop at Sorbie created, rebuilt, modified, fettled and put back on the road many Teals, probably at least a dozen, as well as much other sporting machinery. We pay tribute to Keith and Bob’s skilled and creative engineering, which has greatly enhanced our Teal marque.
LANDMARK: This Teal Jagatti is Teal of the Week No 100 – the first Teal of the Week appeared on Sky Blue Teal on 21st October 2012 – a hundred Teals in 72 weeks – and more lovely Teals to come.
