Repair and Restoration Workshops
We offer a fully equipped workshop, and highly experienced staff who can undertake all aspects of mechanical restoration or repairs to your car (or parts). We can carry out full mechanical rebuilds of the whole car, or overhaul specific units such as your engine, gearbox, back axle, steering box etc.
Originally our main area of expertise was Ford Models A, B, T and V8, and we still love to work the old Fords. But our repertoire has increased with our skills and expertise now covering Lancia Lambda, Packards, Bentleys and Buicks to name but a few.
We have had the privilege of preparing several cars for the big rallies such as 'Peking to Paris' and the 'Flying Scotsman' - a service we have loved to be involved with. Providing full mechanical overhauls and upgrades where required to the vehicles before the event, plus offering support, advice and back up spares as the rallies have progressed.
As the years have progressed we have developed our very own products and services based on the needs of our customers, and the ever increasing need for reliability and speed. Please see below for some examples of the engines specifications we can build too. Please note these are examples only - each individual engine is built to the customers exacting requirements.
