COMPLETE CLASSIC CAR RESTORATIONS

Every restoration is different. Some cars come to us as tired, well loved projects, while others arrive needing the finishing touches to get them back on the road. No matter what stage your vehicle is at, we can tailor our work to your needs.

Our full restorations cover:

→ Classic Car Bodywork

From rust repairs and panel fabrication to complete resprays, we restore bodywork with accuracy and authenticity. Every line and curve is carefully preserved, ensuring your car looks exactly as it should.

→ Engine Rebuilds

We take pride in rebuilding classic engines, from strip down to final tune. Whether your car needs minor adjustments or a complete overhaul, we’ll restore smooth, reliable performance while keeping original parts wherever possible.

→ Interior Refurbishment

A classic car’s interior is part of its character. We can restore upholstery, trim and fittings so your cabin feels as authentic as the day it was built.

→ Mechanical & Electrical Repairs

Suspension, brakes, wiring and more, we handle all the essential systems that keep your classic roadworthy.

→ Custom Made & Reproduction Parts

Many classic and vintage components are no longer available, but thanks to advanced 3D scanning and CNC machining, we can replicate missing or damaged parts with exact precision.

We know every car has its own story, so our restoration work is always personal. Some projects are about achieving show condition, others about creating a safe, reliable daily driver. Whatever your vision, we’ll bring it to life.

CLASSIC CAR SERVICING & REPAIRS

Not every classic car needs a full rebuild, sometimes it just needs a bit of expert care. At Harding Autos, we also carry out regular servicing and vintage car repairs to keep your motor in top condition.

That can mean anything from oil changes and brake checks to diagnosing and fixing electrical faults. Regular servicing is key to preventing bigger problems down the road, especially for older engines and mechanical systems that need specialist attention.

Because we’ve spent decades working on classic and vintage vehicles, we know their quirks inside out. Our experience helps us spot issues early and keep your car running reliably, while always respecting its originality.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

That really depends on the level of work involved. A light refresh, such as some bodywork repairs and a mechanical tune-up might take weeks, while a full strip down and rebuild can take months. Parts availability is another factor and if we need to source or custom make components, that can add time. We’ll always give you an estimated timescale before we start and keep you updated as we go.

Absolutely. Some owners want a full showroom standard rebuild, while others just want their car roadworthy and reliable. We’ll tailor the work to suit your budget and what you want from the car. It’s your project, and we’ll help you decide the best route to take.

We work on all types of classic and vintage cars, not just British marques. Over the years, we’ve dealt with a wide range of models, including European and American imports. If it’s a classic, chances are we’ve worked on something similar before.

This is a common worry, but it’s not something that stops us. If parts aren’t available off the shelf, we can often recreate them in-house using 3D scanning and CNC machining. That way, your car still gets the correct component fitted, and we keep it as authentic as possible.

Of course. Because we know how important these cars are to their owners, and we’re always happy for you to check in on progress. We’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and reports so you know exactly how the work is coming along.

We aim to preserve as much of the original character as possible while making sure the car is reliable and safe to drive. In cases where replacement is unavoidable, we take care to use the closest possible match or replicate the part accurately.

We certainly do. Once your car is back on the road, we can handle its servicing and maintenance for you. That way, it stays in peak condition and you can enjoy driving it without worrying about future issues creeping up.
