Garage services Service, Repair and Restoration, specialising in Classic British Sports Cars and Saloons
Ref.AL192
Location South East
Asking Price £275,000
Established for over a quarter of a century and relocated to its current, very well suited location and premises in 1987, this is a leading garage services business specialising in the service, repair and restoration of classic British sports cars and saloons. Concentrating mainly on lower to mid market value vehicles manufactured in the post war years right through to the mid 1980s, this is the place to bring an MG, Triumph or Austin Healey for a service or mechanical repair or to be restored to its former glory.
With on-site workshop facilities and a very well trained team of mechanics with many years experience of working on British classic cars and saloons, this business offers expert, routine servicing as well as mechanical or electrical repairs and breakdown. It frequently carries out the replacement of major components such as a gearboxes or engines and provides MOT testing through a tried and tested, local garage relationship
With fully equipped bodyshop facilities also on site and highly skilled and experienced bodyworkers, the business is equally at home dealing with accident repairs, welding whether minor to pass an MOT or more major structural repairs. Body sprays to Concours standard are also available, if required, right through to full or part restorations interiors and exteriors, complete from the ground up, if necessary. Not surprisingly the business has a wide range of parts readily available for sale over the counter including genuine, second hand parts from cannibalised vehicles. It will even supply the basic elements of a project to be restored to a buyers exact specification or alternatively supplied to someone to work on of their own accord.
