Pictured below is the Silver 1959 Jensen 541R recent wiring ammends. John had found that when wiring up, the overdrive didn’t engage. After an investigation, John found it was because the solenoid had overheated and melted the terminals, meaning a new solenoid was fitted. A new stoplight switch has also been fitted because the old […]
Kath and Brian have continued their work with the 1968 Triumph TR5 and are now tackling the rear quarter. Kath has added foam over the raised section in the boot and positioned the carpet over the foam to get an idea of how it would fit. Once happy, Kath could then glue the foam sections […]

We hope to see the shell painted by the end of the week which will mark an exciting milestone in this restoration. Here […]
All we set out to do was fit new tyres but one of the centre badges was having none of it! The spring that holds the badge in place survived but the plastic/perspex logo is unfortunately no more. A new badge has been ordered and fitted.

Our fantastic blue 1998 TVR Chimaera initially came in for a trim restoration and service however during the service, we’ve noticed some more serious issues that need addressing.

We recently sent off our Aston Martin DB7 Magnesium wheels to Wheel Care to be refurbished, however, we have been informed that the wheels may be too far gone to service and recover, and it made more sense to source new wheels. Magnesium is a porous metal which means if the quality of them has […]
