Restorations

Restoration Projects

Our philosophy is always to carry out sympathetic restorations, listening to our customers wishes and not losing the ‘period’ feel of the cars.

We like to maintain the usability and tractability on the road even when the car is track-prepared and competitive.

On a major project we will carry out a thorough inspection before starting any work and agree the overall specification with the customer. We also keep photographic records and the customer is closely informed of progress, any problems encountered  and specification changes and regular financial updates.

Upgrades and Job Completion

From carrying out a full upgrade of engine, transmission, brakes and handling to merely adjusting the castor angle for a nicer feel to the steering, our experience enables us to improve the car to make it more pleasant for road or race.

A major overhaul or just a list of niggling problems, we look at the whole project with the customer to achieve a car that can be enjoyed.

One of our final jobs on a major project is extended road testing (sometimes carried out with the customer) to settle it down and to ensure the car has no hidden vices or potential problems.
