Our assembly workshop refurb is now underway…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]So today’s the day work gets underway on our newly refurbished assembly workshop.

After a busy 2 days of taking down and clearing up, the assembly area in our Deben road workshop has been completely emptied ready for work to get underway.

Day 1 saw the floor get levelled and prepared ready for the guys at Cristallo Living, Thetford to commence with floor tiling bright and early tomorrow.

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 purchased as a runner from a retired Jaguar restoration company owner along with an amount of other E-Type spares.
