Work on the Aston DB6 continues with pre-fitting ahead of final paint, making sure nothing needs further adjustment once painting is complete. As usual, we have a couple of Ferrari’s in for servicing and other minor work, and meanwhile, there’s practically a queue of cars coming through the workshop – busy days!

French, German and Italian classics featured heavily at Templar Towers this past week. The elegant Facel Vega has been back with us for a variety of minor jobs including solving some electrical issues, some mechanical improvements and some minor cosmetic surgery.
Meanwhile we sent the Mercedes Pagoda back to its delighted owner – we think it looks resplendent (a fine Sunday word 😊) in its new metallic Moss Green coat and cream interior, ready for that drive along the Côte d’Azur.
Finally, we’ve completed the carb rebuild on the Ferrari 308 and while there’s still a lot to do, we’re hoping it’ll be finished by the end of the month (hopefully not famous last words!). The 430 next to it shows just how much Ferrari’s changed between the late 1970’s and early 2000’s.

Very busy last couple of weeks here at Templar Towers – plenty of Ferrari’s in for a variety of work including servicing, brake refurbs and solving cooling problems and we’ve had the re-trimmed seats back for our 308GTB – they look great, thanks to .
We’ve also had a fabulous Aston Martin DB4 in for a pre-sale check and the glamorous Facel Vega HK500 for some cosmetic work which will take a few weeks before we return it to it’s owner.
Slightly less glamorous but still lovely, the red Volvo P1800E is now ready to go back on the road after having power steering and new Minilite wheels fitted. Variety is the spice…

First post for a while as we slowly melt in the heat…the Ferrari’s keep on coming, mainly (but not only) 430’s and 360’s for servicing, brake overhauls, belt changes, new radiators…we’ve also had a couple of our favourite Swedes, Volvo P1800’s, one for a new dash and power steering, the other also for power steering, electronic ignition and some other upgrades.
Finally, the MGB – an early one with cable pull door handles – has come in for a service and a possible colour change - wonder what the owner will choose?

A bit of a break from Ferrari’s for this week, starting with the Marcos 3.0 V6, which came in for a carb rebuild, have the rear trailing arms re-bushed and to fix a slow oil pressure build up, and we’ve been doing some pre-fit work on the DB6 ahead of it being painted.
Meanwhile, head gasket failure on an MG Midget has resulted in this oil and water flavoured caramel milkshake! We’re now having to rebuild the engine, having already had the block and head re-faced.

The emphasis has been firmly on Ferrari this week, with a 355 in for service and belt change and a Mondial having it’s ride height lowered by having some new adjustable shocks and springs fitted.
Our latest Ferrari restoration project, a gorgeous (well, it will be!) 250GTE is now in primer ready for final prep – thanks to Adam Redding for top class work.
Meanwhile we’ve had another of our favourite Swedes in for a new servo – we’ll never tire of working on these stylish Volvo’s.

Quite a few Ferrari’s in at Templar Towers this past week for servicing and odd jobs, such as the 308 in for a refresh of suspension and interior. The Marcos – not a marque we see often – is in for a general inspection and a few odd jobs, and the Volvo 544 for a rebore and new pistons – lots of variety to keep us on our toes!

Some very fine cars have come into Templar Towers this past couple of weeks. Have to start with the fabulous and very rare in the UK French classic, a Facel Vega HK500 that has just been bought by a client who’s asked us to give it the once-over.
We’ve also had a delightful silver Ferrari Dino 246 in for a service and inspection, we have it’s big brother 308 in for a suspension refurb and meanwhile the interior is being fitted in the equally lovely Pagoda – we get to work on some beautiful cars!

A very busy run-up to the Easter weekend here at Templar Towers. We’ve got a couple of our favourite Swedes – P1800’s – in for a series of minor jobs and several Ferrari 355’s for service, belt changes and electrical issues – one of them having a rebuilt dual mass flywheel after getting contaminated with oil from the gearbox, another having belts and cam covers replaced.
Meanwhile that ‘70s wedge icon, the Lotus Esprit S1, has been getting a water leak and some fuelling issues sorted out.
Wishing all our clients and friends a very Happy Easter from the team at Templar Classics!

A fistful of Ferrari’s at Templar Towers over the last few days, mostly in for belt changes and servicing, but the Car of the Week was this exquisite mint-condition 1948 Jaguar 3.5 litre drophead in for a light service and replacement horns - just lovely!
Speaking of Jaguar, the XJ-S you might be able to spot in the middle of the forecourt came in for an oil service – and had covered just 1400 miles from new!
Finally, we continue to make progress with the pretty Lancia Flavia, which now has it’s doors fitted.
