On a non car related note, I’d like to introduce Bentley! Bentley has been with us since March 2025, he is doing a level three apprenticeship in Heritage engineering with the Heritage Skills Academy. He is an excellent student and loves all things cars and engineering! We are privileged to have him as a member of the team!

This little MG M type came to us for a few jobs back in 2025. We replaced the prop shaft coupling, made a new wheel stud to replace a broken one, sorted some electrical gremlins and rebuilt the carburettor. All in all a lovely little car!

Today is an Anglo French Italian kind of day! Recently we have been super busy at the workshop which has meant I’ve not had much time to post! Watch this space for updates on what we’ve been up to over the last nine months!

As part of the restoration of the Lagonda Rapier, we were tasked with modifying the pedal assembly to create a more conventional layout of brake pedal in the centre rather than on the right. This involved designing and manufacturing all of the components to move the pedal from outside of the chassis to the inside. The original pedal was utilised as much as possible to maintain the connection to the brake rods.

Over the last six months we have been busy working on this lovely Lagonda Rapier. The new owner lives in France and so work needed to be done to make sure the car was as good as it could be. We completed work on the engine, rebuilt the carburettors, overhauled the brakes and rear axle amongst a list of other smaller jobs. We also modified the pedal assembly to swap the throttle and brakes. More to follow on that!! The car is now safely back in France and is being enjoyed by its new owner! #1.5litre

Back in the summer we carried out some electrical repairs to the little Austin 7. The charging system had faults and required the shunt on the Dynamo repairing and then the third brush adjusting to improve the charge rate. We also stripped down and repaired the ammeter and main switch as they also had faults. All done just in time for the car club summer BBQ!

An exciting new project! Last weekend, we traveled south of Paris to Troyes to collect this 1936 Riley 12/4 Kestrel. We will be rebuilding the engine, pre select gearbox and recommissioning the car ready for its return to France. Watch out for updates as we work through bringing it back to the road!

Over the last few months we have had the pleasure of working on two WO 4 1/2 litre Bentleys. A mixture of servicing, brake work and minor fettling has been the order of the day, plus the odd road test!!

Last month we had this beautiful E Type in the workshop to have a new clutch fitted. We also took the opportunity to give it a good tune up! The car is mildly uprated with a 5 speed gearbox and a fast road engine. A very quick motor car!!
