Classic Car Restoration

At our workshop, we specialise in classic car restoration, breathing new life into iconic vehicles. Whether you’re looking to restore a car to its original factory condition or seeking a custom restoration, our experienced team delivers meticulous craftsmanship at every stage. From bodywork and interiors to engine rebuilds, we handle the entire process to bring your vision to life. With decades of expertise, we are passionate about preserving the legacy of vintage cars while ensuring they remain roadworthy and stunning for years to come.

Full Restoration Process: Our comprehensive classic car restoration process begins with an in-depth consultation to understand your goals and the vehicle’s needs. We strip the car down to its core, assess every component, and then restore or replace each part with precision. This process includes bodywork, engine rebuilds, suspension, brakes, and electrical systems, ensuring a complete revival of your classic.

Bodywork & Paint Restoration

Restoring a car’s exterior requires skill and attention to detail. We specialise in classic car body restoration, repairing rust, dents, and damage while preserving the vehicle’s original lines. Our expert team applies period-correct paint and finishes, ensuring your car looks just as it did when it first left the showroom – or even better.
