This weekend we were visited by this lovely Ford Escort. Possibly coming in for works with ourselves, this lovely example was a pleasure to have a look around.
We recently went to see a stalled restoration Jaguar E-Type at secret location within Suffolk. We’re hoping to have this lovely E-Type into our workshops to complete the restoration.

Chris and Dave have joined forces for the latest Jensen task. Within the fibreglass bonnet moulding are channels. Within these channels should be metal bars used to strengthen the structure. These are missing on many of the Jensen’s we see so whilst Chris has been working on the fibreglass Dave has been assisting with the […]

Our 1977 Triumph Spitfire is now in colour! Very rare to find a Spitfire finished in black but with the smooth lines and elegant shape black really does finish off the car beautifully.

Antony has been working on our 500SL Restoration. The rusted areas are ground out with fresh metal let in to repair. It seems with this Mercedes the deeper we dive, the more rust is found. We cannot wait to get this lovely classic back on the road. At the moment this is still quite a […]
We were photographing our latest showroom arrivals at our Bentwaters hanger when we heard the deep rumble of an engine coming from outside.

Here are some before images of our Corvette C2 bumper and Jagaur E-Type handbrake that require re chroming. New chrome has to be one of the best ways to rejuvenate a classic vehicle’s appearance. We can’t wait to see these components back on their respective cars soon.
