As always, a huge thank you to the guys at Sheldrake & Wells in Ipswich for doing another amazing job for us rebuilding the heater matrix of our 1983 Ford Capri.
After months of searching and now having commissioned a small batch of pulley’s to be made especially for us we have managed to source a brand new V12 pulley from elsewhere. The great news is that we can now fit up and finish off under the bonnet and still have some spare pulleys on the […]
The moment we’ve been waiting for…the first piece of the stunning interior starts to be fitted up inside our 1971 Jaguar E-Type V12 roadster. The bespoke choice of Golden Sands mixed with the maroon/burgundy interior, matching hood and mats all work perfectly together. We are also looking into some special features within the car, stay […]

The shocks are to be sent away to Poland to be completely rebuilt but whilst removing the shocks we have uncovered a few unexpected issues. The splash shield is severely corroded on the near side which will need to be […]
This afternoon we collected our 1985 Mercedes 280SL ready for the re-commissioning project to commence. We can already see just how beautifully original our SL is so a full restoration is certainly not required on this one. When we arrive back at the workshops we’ll be able to see just how far we need to […]

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Available for sale: 1958 Rover P4 105S Announced 16 October 1956, the 105R and 105S used a high-output, 8.5:1 compression version of the 2.6 litres engine used in the 90.

With the Bedford exterior colour changing from green to blue, the bright green interior had to go! We opted for a brown vinyl covering to the seats for this one but rather than the previous flat texture-less seats we have added additional stitching to freshen up and improve the overall design.
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Our 1976 MG B V8 is now well on its way to the full respray. With the car fully stripped, the body preparation and re-shaping is going very well.

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 have now completed the rebuild of our 1978 Triumph Stag engine. The belts and filters are on order so now Pete is on a mission to have the gearbox and engine fitted back in over the next couple of days. Firstly, we’ll clean up the engine bay whilst the engine is out. The […]
We had a special visit today from Mat and his 1964 Land Rover. Matt would like to see the checker plating removed from the car and has asked us to sympathetically repair the bodywork so as not to interfere with the current overall look. As you can see to the rear of the car the […]
We were first introduced to our 1977 MG BGT at this year’s Bridge Classic Cars Classic & Sports Car Show back in August as we were looking at options of a full restoration. With just 1 owner from new this very unique project has been barn stored since the 1980’s but the current owner (and […]
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 […]
