Restoration, repair and servicing

Trevor Farrington has been restoring classic vehicles since 1986, originally working on Austin 7s and MGs, before moving on to prestige vehicles such as Rolls-Royce, AC, Humber, Bugatti, Daimler and Bentley. Restoration often involves taking a rusty incomplete shell and bringing it back to showroom condition.

Many of the cars restored have been delivered in boxes, and are no more than a collection of parts that once upon a time used to be a car. There is rarely anything simple about such restorations, so our expert staff have to use their years of experience.

Some of the oldest cars restored have included a 1925 AC Empire, a 1925 Bentley 3 litre, a 1922 Gwynne Eight and a 1929 Humber. We have also worked on 1930s Bentley’s and BMWs, post war Daimlers and to bring it up to the 1970s & 80’s ; Alfa Romeo’s, Jaguars, BMW’s and Ferraris. 

In recent years we have tended to specialise in the restoration, repair and servicing of Jaguar E Types and typically have around half a dozen in our workshop. Apart from improving the quality and efficiency of our work this specialisation has enabled us to build strong relationships with the key suppliers at a time when certain parts have proved difficult to source.
