Our 1998 BMW 840Ci is currently in the workshops to have the front and rear suspension removed to be refurbished. Whilst in with us we’ll also be looking to address a couple of smaller issues too; slight leak to the coolant system and the headlining is starting to drop too.
Lots of putting on and taking off today as John fits up the bootlid on our 1960 Jensen 541S. It is finally secure and in position and looking incredible. Every line and curve on this car is truly stunning…
It’s always a sad sight when you see somebody’s pride and joy accidentally damaged but none more so that our 1968 Jaguar E-Type Roadster. As you can see the nearside side (passanger’s) door was a little too close for comfort and the accident has mis-shaped the outer skin. It has also clipped the front wing […]

We were introduced to our 1988 BMW 635 at our Classic & Sports Car Show this weekend gone with a view of having some worn interior addressed. As you can see, the bolsters and front support are worn which is not uncommon on these cars so we will look to strip and re-cover the affected […]

One final task to undertake on our 1947 MG TC before we return her to her owner…the hood. Having spent many years out on the UK roads and a couple of trips to a ‘not so careful’ garage the hood is a bit grubby. We’ll get the buffers and polishers on her to see what […]
Our 1975 MG B is now fully stripped and ready for blasting early next week. The shell will be away from ours for a couple of weeks but once blasted we will have a better idea to what extend our repair work will be.
With the challenges we will inevitably face later in this project, due to the rarity of the car and it’s parts, we have now discovered an unexpected hole in the fuel tank. If a new/good second hand tank can not be sourced we will need to look at the options of stripping the existing tank […]

It is one of those stories that couldn’t be written. For many months we have been on the hunt for a Jaguar E-Type V12 pulley. Some examples have come and gone. We’ve tried plan A, B and C and have gotten nowhere. Having called pretty everyone who knows anything about Jaguars in the hope of […]

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]You may find this strange tor us to credit other restorers work on our website but when we got talking to Sabir on the recent completion of his stunning BMW E36 Alpina B3.0 we just had to share the photos. The restoration total is £40,000 but what a stunning car to own as a future […]
