Our 1955 Land Rover panels are now in the paint shop having been primed and painted.
We have now successfully re-instated our newly refurbished 1800cc engine for our MGB roadster. The engine has been completed rebuilt by our in-house engine builder Ady and is once again looking stunning alongside the Tundra Green paint finish.
In our Pettistree workshops this week we have our 1966 Jaguar Mk II 3.8 with running issues. The car is struggling to stay running but is also running very rich when we can keep her going. Ady will need to delve deeper into this one to find out what is causing the issues and look […]
Sure, you are right to question the authenticity of this 2017 Volvo V90’s ‘classic status’!! Occasionally we like to help out our friends and having our own paint shop is a huge bonus as we can often slip in the odd job between re-sprays on classic cars. Here we have our 2017 Volvo V90 looking […]
We bumped into a familiar face this morning on our travels. Tucked away safely and securely in the deepest depths of Suffolk is our 1978 Mini Clubman 1100. Great to see her again…
Coming soon we have our 1972 MGBGT for a full body preparation and respray. Originally finished in Harvest Gold, the car has been with the current family some time and as you can see from the images, some of it’s life has been spent in Falminco Red. The current owner is carryign out a lot […]
We are currently in the process of repainted the front end of our 1981 Triumph TR7 V8 where a couple of stone chips are apparent. The colour match was a bit of a challenge but we have managed to secure a match using our camera technology and the car is fineshed and ready for collection.
Our 1998 Daimler Super V8 has returned to the workshops today for the annual MOT. The current owner very rarely uses the Daimler so with very little miles between tomorrow’s MOT and last years we are hopefully for a nice clean run on this one.
We had a fantastic day out at Anglia Car Auctions this weekend (13th April 2019). Great to see Rob, Lyn and the team putting on a great display once again. Some amazing cars on show too and a brilliant turn out. Here are just some of the cars we managed to photograph. This was probably […]
We are now well on the way with our 1975 MG Roadster as we head into the reassembly stage.

Amongst the Firebird paperwork from the US we have discovered an amazing photo of how the car was originally found.
We have investigated the indicator fault and have discovered a burnt out relay and blown fuse due to incorrect earthing. We have now re-wired the affected area and the indicators are now fully functioning. That completes the recommissioning of our 1937 Triumph Dolomite. The points were the cause of the car not running so with […]
We have now placed a special order for a manual choke for our 1967 Corvette C2. This will take between 4 to 6 weeks to arrive with us so in the meantime, let’s draw breath and look at just how stunning this car truly is.
Paying us a visit to our workshops this afternoon we have our beautiful 1967 Mustang. As you can see, a couple of areas require some attention from our painters so hopefully we’ll be seeing her again in the coming few months for them to be rectified.
Brian has been working his magic on the refit of our 1955 Austin Healey. The re-assembly is progressing really well with freshly restored parts as well as brand new parts all being fitted back up to the car. The horns are now back in position, the chrome work is gradually being secured and the metal […]
We are currently in the middle of producing a bespoke maroon over-mat for our 1971 Jaguar E-Type’s boot space. The over-mat will form an extra layer of protection for the beige boot carpet and will tie in perfectly with the car’s interior. The car would have originally come from the factory with a light coloured […]

We’ve seen some familiar faces this week paying us a visit to our Pettistree workshops. Our 1974 De Tomaso Pantera popped in to say hello… And our 1968 Jaguar E-Type returned to discuss a few little jobs he would like to see happen before the summer shows.
Finished and ready for next week’s hire. Blue Sky Classic Car’s 1978 Triumph Stag is now serviced, MOT’d and ready to go. There are endless options and things to do around East Anglia. If you are looking for a classic car to hire, along with the fantastic and super popular 1978 Triumph Stag, Blue Sky […]
Having had a reasonably long period of being untouched the land Rover Series 1 project is now back underway with the current owners. Our 1955 Land Rover panels have now returned to our paint shop to be prepared for paint.
We have now stripped, cleaned and pressure tested our newly built carburettor so we are now ready to refit back at the owner’s home later this week.
Collected earlier today, our newest addition; 1963 BSA trials bike. She’ll sit proudly beside our 1961 Francis Barnett trials at the local summer shows later in the year. Over the coming weeks we’ll look to carry out a few sympathetic modifications but as she stands here today, she is ready to be ridden and enjoyed.
In our workshops this week we have our beautiful 1937 Triumph Dolomite. The car has been inactive for some time but we are confident that the recommissioning of this one will hopefully be fairly straight forward and she’ll be back on the road in no time.
New to our workshops this week we have our 1967 Corvette C2 with running issues when cold. The choke is not operating as it should and seems to be sticking during operation. We will look to investigate the issues and come up with a resolution.
