We are a family run business specialising in the restoration of classic cars since 1987 and for many years before this as enthusiastic home restorers. We have restored many makes but have long been regarded as MG marque specialists and are now carrying out an increasing amount of Jaguar work. Please telephone before any visit as although we are here most of the time we do sometimes shut the workshop at short notice.

We restore cars to the highest standards and offer full or part restorations to our customers using upgraded items where required. Please see our restoration page on this site or come and give us a visit to see the quality of our work. Previously restored cars from 5, 10 and 15 years ago are available to be viewed but an appointment will have to be made.

On our full restorations we strip the car to a bare bodyshell and mount them on a rotating jig for use during the blasting process. This jig allows us to do all required welding and spraying in a more comfrtable position and means we get as good a paint finish on the underside as we do on the outer panels.

Bodyshell of MGC Roadster, still on the rotating jig, painted in 2k paint and being fitted up with new or reconditioned parts.

Another MGC undergoing restoration in our workshop and fitted with all reconditioned suspension parts painted in 2k etch, primer and top coat, replated brackets and polybushes throughout.

This is the MGC starting to take shape now.

We have again been given MGOC 5 star and 5 spanner status.

We are proud to be a sponsor of the Colchester Gladiators Youth and Senior American Football team for the 2010 season.
