Great progress for the Standard 8!

Ed has been trial fitting the front end and it’s looking great, just a few last tweaks and then we’ll be satisfied.

We love working on the lesser spotted classics, so if something rare is languishing on your drive or in your garage, get in touch. We are happy to discuss everything from a light recommission to full nut and bolt concours resto.

No panels? No problem!

Sometimes we work on cars where panels are no longer available and when faced with corrosion, we step in and make the panels or pieces in-house at ADO Restoration.

Blaine has recently been helping with the wings for the Standard 8, retaining as much of the original metal as possible whilst ensuring all the corroded metal is replaced.

If you’ve got a car to restore and worry you can’t get it done due to scarcity of panels, why not drop us an email and we can discuss getting it road ready!

Need some Bank Holiday adventure inspiration?

We attended the Beaulieu Spring Autojumble last weekend and met the courageous Martin from Switzerland who had driven his 803cc Morris Minor all the way from Switzerland to the event!

We thought we’d be the furthest travelled, doing nearly 250 miles in a 1098cc Morris Minor, but we were delighted to be beaten in our efforts by Martin.

We love hearing about your adventures, are you off anywhere special this weekend in your classic?

We’ll be downing tools on Monday 25th May for a well-earned extra day off… although most of us will probably still be working on our own classics!

Breakdowns, they always come when you least expect them to!

This stunning Rover P6 came to us with gearbox failure at the worst possible time, less than a fortnight before a big automotive event it was booked in for. After some urgent workshop attention, we’re pleased to have it repaired, tested, and back on the road where it belongs.

If your classic develops a fault and you need fast, reliable help, get in touch, we’ll do all we can to get you moving again.

Andi’s classic Volkswagen Beetle currently has the engine out for a bit of TLC, with work happening during evenings after hours; because here at ADO Restoration, we’re genuine car enthusiasts both on and off the clock

If you own a non-British classic and you’re searching for a trusted classic car garage for anything from routine servicing to larger restoration and repair jobs, we’ve got you covered.

In a world obsessed with buying new and constantly upgrading, there’s something deeply satisfying about bringing old parts back to life and preserving originality wherever possible

Andi’s been carefully polishing the chrome on one of our in-house restoration projects; assessing what can be saved and what may need re-chroming. Every original part saved helps retain the character, history, and authenticity of a classic car.

If you’re looking at your classic wondering what can be rescued, restored, or preserved, get in touch; you might be surprised how much can be saved!

Well this is an exciting arrival!

This 4 cylinder Ford Mustang is being revived by our team at ADO Restoration after a long period of inactivity. Welding, general recommissioning and repair is on the cards for this car, and we cannot wait to get stuck in.

A new month…and a new Morris Minor into the workshop!

This one has been out of regular use for some time, so the plan is to bring the car back to a serviced and road legal state whilst addressing some accident damage from an incident which happened a number of years ago.

If you have a classic which has been off the road for a few years (or longer!), we can help you get it back out and ready for adventures. To get the wheels in motion, get in touch:
