Prams Perfect Prams

1970's Teardrop Dolls pram, the picture on the left is as it arrived at my house creaking and groaning, on the right is when it left with a new lease of life. It has gone to a pram collector in Leeds. 

November 2005 I bought a SilverCross Dolls Pram. I went to collect it and while I was there I saw to my amazement a very old babies pram planted up with Begonias. The gentleman said I could have it if I wanted it, so I duly went to collect it three days later. Here is a photo the day I collected it. 

 I will update with any work that goes on.

Here are a couple of before and after photos of the above pram in its restoration process.  The wheels have all been shot blasted and powder coated and also re-laced. The chassis has been shot blasted and powder coated as well. The main body of the pram is currently in undercoat awaiting its top coat. I have also had the hood frame and the body rods zinc plated to help deter the rust coming back.

Here you have the same pram more or less complete. I just need to build a brake for it. I believe this was the forerunner to the SilverCross Viceroy, if you have any idea of the model name please let me know.

This pram arrived as a wreck and has recently been done up for a Christmas present. The colour is a duck-egg blue and I did a Navy hood and apron for it. The apron needs a bit ofadjustment but it looks really nice.
