Our new assembly area will be ideal for the final assembly of our fantastic restoration projects and the perfect area for potential buyers to come and view their new classic car.

The new artwork for the walls is starting to build up in the office with large canvas prints showcasing some of our past concours restorations.

We can not wait for it all to be completed so we can start to pack it full of stunning automobiles.

The beginning of her new life…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We finished preparing and packing the Jaguar V12 E-Type engine, manual gearbox and limited slip diff, ready to be loaded up and taken to Steve at Rushton Engineering in Cullompton for the full concours restoration.

The engine was originally purchasedย as a runner from a retired Jaguar restoration company owner along with an amount of other E-Type spares.
