Day 4 – Engine Clean And Prep

Our 1960 MGA engine has been cleaned and ready to be rebuilt. The crankshaft, conrods and engine block has been sent off to Scholar who has told us that the crankshaft needs to be totally replaced. The photos below show the extent of the wear on the bearings. The conrods also need to be resized, the bearings need tuning into the conrods and the camshaft bearings need to be fitted by Scholar as well as being honed and cleaned.

1940 Alvis Arrival

This stunning 1940 Alvis has come in today for a new hood headlining as this one has had a run-in with his cats.


The owner of this classic Alvis has it as his pride and joy and drives it as his daily car.

The hood is now in the safe hands of our trim shop whoโ€™ll work to replace the fabric and re-work the inside of the hood.

Honda In The House

This 2000 Honda S2000 arrived today for some cosmetic TLC. With some paint chips and signs of rust, this little Honda just needs a small touch up and it’ll be ready to go. The perfect modern classic for summer cruising.

Our Honda’s TLC is mostly going to be concentrated around the wheel arches that need refurbishing.
