Our Jaguar MkII has developed a fault with the wiring connecting the speedometer. Due to a loose connection the speedo was only working intermittently so we have removed the unit, re-routed the wiring before connecting back up. The car has now been tested and the speedo works as it should.
The front and rear screens have now been removed from our 1956 Ford Consul in preparation for the works to start.

Front and rear shocks […]
First glimpse of the freshly painted MGBGT body panels.

The dash itself was stripped and re-covered by us in house, the buttons have also been cleaned up here but we like to bring […]
More pictures to show the progression of our 1975 MGB roadster restoration project.
Arriving today from London we have a very rare modern classic. This E36 BMW M3 Evo Coupe in Techno Violet was first registered in 1998 and has the potential to be very special car. This low mileage and more importantly un-molestered M3 has been untouched, standing outside, on concrete, for a number of years and […]
Not all projects come in and go out without a hitch. You may see from our previous post that the recommissioning was complete and the car was ready to go home. Unfortunately this is not the case as the car has developed running issues which we believe is caused by a clog in the fuel […]

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 […]

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.
