Restoration

Rally/Event and Race Preperation

Premium Classic Cars has prepared both our own & client cars in readiness for many rallys that include Mille Miglia, Goodwood, European Historic Rallies during the last years, our Delage this year for the Salon Privee, Concours event!

In readiness for 2012 our team has expanded, with our workshop is now run by Paul who is to coordinate our ever growing Restoration work. Our team has expanded further as we extend a warm welcome to Dennis,who brings more than 30years hands on experience to our Restoration team.2012 has seen multiple ground up Restoration projects confirmed with both cars quite probably hoping for an entry to the 2013 Mille Miglia or beyond. Premium Classic Cars is able to offer everything a Client may need be it a ground up Build or Restoration plus routine Servicing, paint- work, Trim & or the complete Rolling Road set up of your car with event support. Every facet of our work is personally overseen by Phil & Tina who’s attention to detail is part of the DNA of Premium Classic Cars.
Our fully equipped Workshops in Suffolk & Essex working closely with Attspeed Racing also located in Essex handle all our “Rolling Road, final preperation & set up routines.

In 2011 our workshops have restored both TR-s & some outstanding Morgans the long term Project of our 1963 Lotus Cortina has been built to appendix K specification & can be viewed from January 2012 in Suffolk. This project is typical of work undertaken, the car was re wired with all Drive Train & engine rebuilt, fitted with Custom Roll cage, competition seats, Willans Harnesses & of course the all important Instruments & Rally Retro Trip ,vital when using the Tullip books synonymous with both Pre-War &Classic car events.

We understand the importance of retaining “Originality ” in cars just as importantly the latent Investment potential of increasingly rare cars where a clear audit trail of work done supported by a strong History file ultimately determines the possible sell price for a vehicle. Our attention to detail & faithfull re-production of the work that would have been done in period for “Works Cars” brings unique pride of ownership to our Customers & creates Outstanding reliabiliy, able to be enjoyed at all levels of events.

Our Preperation Work is very often on a fixed price basis avoiding the – open budget so often encountered. We believe the result is in the Detail & this should be the norm not the exception! Parts are faithfully re-painted, correct Bolts, nuts & fixings used, wiring routed correctly & brackets & parts made as required. Once it looks like new! it has to work like new! Its then subjected to proper shake down miles, spanner checks & a full Rolling Road set up, with timing and Carburition optimized for today’s fuel & likely environment, such that the car is 100% from the turn of the Key. It is not a Coincidence that many of the cars, Winning at Historic Monaco & leading UK Rallies such as the “Flying Scotsman” have had final preperation & set up with our partners Attspeed Racing . If your considering a project, small or Large! For Rallying, Historic events or simply to own a Concourse example, please give us a call for an informal chat,we often surprise ourselves with the speed we can get projects on track & our feet are firmly planted with regards to what these projects should cost!
