Restoration the way it was taught to us
Thirty-eight specialists, one building, every trade under one roof — from lead-loading a roof panel to rebuilding a Lucas distributor. We restore to the standard the car left the factory, or to the standard the owner drives it. Those are different jobs, and we quote them differently.
Engine & drivetrain
Numbers-matching rebuilds, machining to period tolerances, dyno sheets supplied with every unit that leaves the shop.
RebuildDynoOverdrive
Coachwork & period paint
Hand-formed aluminium over an English wheel, lead loading, and paint matched to original chips rather than a modern approximation.
MetalworkLead loadingColour match
Interior & trim
Hide seats rebuilt on the original frames, wool carpet woven to pattern, wood veneer re-laid in book-matched pairs.

Concours preparation
Three weeks of the small things: fastener plating, hose clamps, boot floor stamps and the 200-mile shakedown before judging.
Judging readyShakedownTrailer
Provenance & paperwork
FIVA identity cards, old-style logbooks, build sheets and factory letters chased down in the archives on your behalf.

Storage & collection
Heated, dehumidified storage for 60 cars, covered transport across Europe, and a monthly exercise-and-charge visit included.

Bring it back to the road, not to a museum
Every restoration leaves us with a 500-mile running-in schedule, a torque-check list and the phone number of the technician who built it. Owners come back for the service; that is the point.
01
Assessment
Three days on the lift: compression, bores, chassis, paint depth, rust mapping. You receive the notes whether or not you proceed.
02
Blueprint & fixed price
A written scope with photographs, staged payments and a completion month — not an estimate that drifts by a year.
03
The work itself
One technician owns the car end to end. Monthly reports, and the shop is open to visit every Saturday morning.
04
Handover
MoT, geometry, 500-mile running-in plan and a bound photographic record of everything that was done.

Every car is a story
We buy the history, not just the car
A 1968 Charger that has never left its home county is worth more than a better-looking one with an unknown decade. Before we buy, we sit with the logbook, the old photographs and the people who owned it — then we put all of it in the file that travels with the car.
- Documented provenance. Owners traced, old registration plates verified, factory build data confirmed in writing.
- Independent inspection. A marque specialist outside our own workshop reports on every car over $50,000.
- Honest condition grading. We grade to the FIVA scale and we show you the faults before you ask.

Three owners, three very different cars
Half of what we place goes to people buying their first classic. The other half goes to the same names, generation after generation.
“They talked me out of the show car and into the driver's car. Two years and 9,000 miles later, that was the only sensible advice anyone gave me.”
Howard Bell
Collector since 1979 · Kent
1965 Ford Mustang Fastback
“I inherited a barn-find and no idea what to do with it. The assessment was free, the quote was fixed, and the file they handed back is worth more than the car was in 2016.”
Claire Bennett
Owner since 2016 · Oxfordshire
1937 Buick Special Series 40
“Four generations have driven this Beetle to the same beach. It came back to us with the original seats re-covered and the receipts to prove it.”
Marco Rossi
Second-generation owner · Pembrokeshire
1972 Volkswagen Beetle 1302
