If you own a classic car, you may feel like it’s as much a part of your family as the family dog, or perhaps even the kids? (Cars certainly answer back less…) Either way, there’s absolutely no denying the unique bond you have with that metal box on wheels. It’s your pride and joy. Which […]
Our stunning 1962 Jensen 541S is eagerly anticipated at her new home. Her new owners came to test drive her around the beautiful grounds at our Hanger Showroom at RAF Bentwaters, Suffolk.

Car accidents happen, and they’re upsetting. But nothing breaks our little classic-car-loving hearts more than when someone purposefully damages someones pride and joy.

Originally designed for the military, the Mini Moke hit the UK market in the 60’s after failed attempts to be used by the British Army. It’s unusual stripped down chassis, with no doors or windows will certainly tests the boundaries of the Great British weather! Although new technology has been added to the otherwise very […]
Earlier today we were sent these fascinating black and white photographs from an inquisitive gentleman looking into his families history.

This 2008 BMW 118 came for a consultation today to look at some extensive interior damage. A car of only 12 years old isn’t our usual ‘classic’, but we’re always up for a challenge! And this job is no different. Looking at all the rips in the fabric and cigarette burns we suggest to change […]

It’s not often we see the term ‘brand new, still in box’ when it comes to classic motorcycles. But unbelievably, this 1977 British-built motorbike is still in it’s original shipping crate some 43 years later.
