Our Workshop
We restore a diverse range of classic cars and motorcycles, including pre-war vehicles and models from the post-war period through to the 1980s.
We undertake all aspects of restoration, recommissioning, and repair, ensuring each vehicle is returned to a high standard of performance and finish.
We place a strong emphasis on craftsmanship, respecting the heritage of each vehicle while maintaining a high level of attention to detail throughout every stage of the restoration.
Why Work With Us
Working in our workshop offers the opportunity to be involved in varied and rewarding restoration projects, rather than repetitive production work. Every vehicle presents its own challenges, requiring skill, problem-solving, and a high level of attention to detail.
We value technicians who take pride in their work and understand the importance of doing things properly. You’ll be part of a hands-on environment where quality is prioritised over speed, and where your input and experience contribute directly to the finished result.
Our projects span classic cars and motorcycles of different types and eras, offering the chance to develop and apply a broad range of skills. For the right individual, this is an opportunity to work on vehicles that are genuinely interesting, within a workshop that is committed to maintaining high standards of craftsmanship.
