Our 1974 Triumph Spitfire recommissioning project is now complete and safely through it’s MOT. Having been sitting around for over 15 years our task was to bring her back to life and get her back on the road. The engine needed a full rebuild but rather than a full restoration the customer wanted her, aesthetically […]
Not as easy as we had planned, our new tank just didn’t want to play fair with us today but Tommy persevered and after some gentle persuasion it’s in and looking lovely.
The brand new air conditioning unit from Clayton Classics is now being installed in the centre console of our 1967 Jaguar E-Type. The piece above is the evaporator unit and this will be disguised behind the newly trimmed air vent section where the controls will also be positioned.
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We are hopefully looking, right now, at the final trip for our 1975 Maserati Merak in it’s restoration journey.

Roberto Grimaldi and his team come from Italian and Swiss […]

This morning, we said farewell to our 1949 MGTC. Originally in with us to have the wood frame rebuilt but shortly followed by a full rear respray. She’s now on her way back to Southend with her owner Trevor.
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Our original objective was to repair the woodwork that was showing signs of wear on the offside. Not as straight forward as it sounds. Coachwork can be tricky to perfect and with it being the strength of the car it is critical to get it right. Having stripped the car, we repaired the affect wood areas […]
“Been using this garage for many years now and would never consider trying anywhere else. First class service every time and very reasonably priced, nothing is ever too much for these guys, and they will do all they can to help, you would be crazy NOT to use them.”

We carried out some work on Trevor Murray’s 1949 MG TC last year and whilst here he was thrilled to see the prototype 1960 Jensen 541S we had in undergoing […]
