“What’s actually keeping us busy?”

This was Friday afternoon at Classic Car Mechanic… 🔧

A little bit of everything going on in the workshop last week. Classics, modern cars, MOTs, servicing, repairs…

We may be known for our classic cars, but there’s rarely a dull moment around here!

Can you spot anything interesting? 👀

Friday question…
If you could have ANY car sitting in your garage this weekend, what would it be?

No budget. No practicality. No sensible answers required! 😂

Tell us yours in the comments — and let’s see what sort of garage we’d end up with!

Maureen, the Morris van is in preparation for her role as support vehicle for the GUTs Motor Tour next weekend. A great day out for an important charity, it gets booked out quickly but if you are interested in joining in next year send them an email and get you name on the mailing list. If you look through the pictures from last year you might recognise a couple of cars.

Not your everyday workshop visitor!

This rather unusual character is a UAZ-452, better known as the Soviet “Bukhanka” – or “Loaf of Bread” thanks to its wonderfully boxy shape.

Built from the 1960s and designed to cope with some seriously challenging terrain, it’s about as far removed from your typical British classic as you can get!

We love seeing something different come through the workshop doors. And yes, we work on these too!

This one is in for a running issue and replacement driveshaft. There is never a shortage of interesting vehicles here.

👋 So, who are we… and what are we doing with all these old cars? 🚗🔧

If you're new here, welcome to Classic Car Mechanic!

We’re a team of people who have a slightly unhealthy appreciation for old cars. We like the noise they make, the way they smell, the way they were built — and, most of all, the character that seems to come with every one of them!

Our first passion is, without doubt, classic cars. We love keeping them running, solving the problems that come with age and helping their owners enjoy them for many more years.

But here's something you might not know…

We don't only work on classics! 😉

Modern cars are very much welcome in our workshop too. We carry out servicing, maintenance, repairs and diagnostics, and we're also an MOT test centre.

So whether you've got a much-loved classic, a modern daily driver, or something somewhere in between, our team is here to help keep it safe, reliable and on the road.

Because while we might get particularly excited when something interesting and slightly elderly arrives through the doors, we're mechanics first and foremost — and we like keeping all sorts of cars on the road.

This page isn't just about what happens in the workshop either.

We love sharing the cars that come through our doors, interesting bits of motoring history, useful tips, classic car events, stories from the road and, occasionally, things that simply make us smile.

And to everyone who's been following us for a while — thank you! ❤️

We really appreciate all the likes, comments, shares, questions and photographs you send us. It's great to have such a fantastic community of people who enjoy cars as much as we do.

If you've only just found us, pull up a chair and join in.

We're Classic Car Mechanic. We fix cars, talk about cars, and probably spend far too much time thinking about cars.

And we're perfectly happy with that. 😉

The Classic Car Show Season Is Nearly Over… But What Happens Next?

As September arrives, the classic car show season is starting to wind down. This long hot summer has brought plenty of sunny days, good drives, waving at fellow enthusiasts and lots of shows.

But now is the time to start thinking about what happens to your classic over the colder, wetter months.

🚗 Put it away for winter?
If your classic is going into storage, don’t wait until the first frost or torrential downpour. A little preparation now can save a lot of time, money and heartache come spring. Think fluids, battery care, tyres, fuel, ventilation and, most importantly, making sure it’s clean and completely dry before it goes away.

🌧️ Keep driving through the winter?
Some of the best drives can be on crisp autumn mornings and quiet winter roads. But wetter, colder weather brings its own challenges, particularly for older cars and their electrical systems, brakes lights and bodywork.

Whether your car is heading into hibernation or staying firmly on the road, now is a good time for a winter check-up.

And remember, a classic doesn’t stop being a classic just because the sun stops shining. 😉

Are you putting yours away for winter, or are you planning to keep driving?

The 2nd Jowett of the week. this one is a Jupiter from 1953. One of only 899 made, a very rare find.

The Jowett story is a fascinating part of British motoring history. Based in Bradford, Jowett produced innovative cars that were often ahead of their time, including the famous Javelin with its flat-four engine and aerodynamic styling.

But the Juniper is a much rarer beast, and one that tends to raise a few eyebrows when people see it!

Cars like these are a reminder of just how many interesting and unusual manufacturers once existed in Britain. They may not have the name recognition of MG, Jaguar or Austin, but they have their own stories — and that's what makes looking after them so rewarding.

We’re rather pleased to have two very different pieces of Jowett history in the workshop at the same time.

Have you ever seen a Jowett Juniper before?

There aren't many cars that make a classic Mini look big but this BMW Isetta is trying. Two very different small cars,

A 1971 Rover Mini – tiny on the outside, but with a surprising amount of space on the inside and famously designed to make the most of every inch of road and space.

A BMW Isetta – the wonderfully eccentric little bubble car, with its famous front-opening door and looks that could make you smile before you've even turned the key.

And yet, despite their differences, they have something important in common: neither was designed to be boring!

One became a British motoring icon. The other became one of the most recognisable microcars ever built.

So, if you had to choose… Mini or Isetta? 🤔

And perhaps the more important question – which one would you rather take for a Sunday morning drive?

There are a couple of classic Mini owners in the team but this lovely Isetta has had a lot of admiration too.

A few familiar faces… and a few new ones! 👋

Here’s the latest Classic Car Mechanic team photo. Behind every classic car we look after is a team of people who genuinely love what they do — whether that’s getting their hands dirty in the workshop, keeping things running behind the scenes, or making sure your pride and joy gets the care it deserves.

And because we’re a classic car garage, there’s one important question…

How many cars, vans and bikes do you think this lot have between them? 🤔

We honestly don’t know — and we’re not sure we dare count! 😂

We suspect there may be a rather worrying number of projects, daily drivers, two-wheeled distractions and “one day I’ll get round to fixing that” vehicles involved.

So, … who’s got the most? And what’s your current tally? 🚗🏁🏍️
