Classic Ford
Restoration Services

Ford Motor Company, commonly known as Ford, was created by the genius and entrepreneurship of founder Henry Ford in an attempt to create affordable vehicles that would stand the test of time. Nowadays, Ford is a respected company with many classic cars which we believe deserve to be treated and cared for with the utmost respect.

Looking For Classic Ford Restoration Services?

Here at Carosserie, we specialise in the repair and restoration of classic Ford vehicles. Our team is made up of talented craftsmen who are experts in mechanics, woodwork, paintwork, and, most importantly, classic car restoration.

Founded in 1903, Ford revolutionised the motor industry with the introduction of assembly line production techniques, making car ownership affordable for the masses. The company’s iconic Model T was launched in 1908 and became an iconic symbol of that era, selling 15 million units by 1927. Because of Ford’s iconic vehicles and rich history, every classic Ford should be respected and, if necessary, restored to ensure that these symbols of automotive brilliance can remain for many years to come.

This is where we come in. We offer top-notch classic Ford restoration services to those with a classic Ford that needs repair, repainting, or more. Whatever classic Ford restoration service your vehicle requires, we will have the team and skills necessary to carry it out.

As a girly with no car knowledge, who inherited a classic car , Carosserie have been my knights in shining armour. After the initial exam of the car, they gave me honest quotes, their honest opinion, no pressure to make decisions, neither did they take advantage of the emotional responsibilities I felt. They have worked with my budget & I can't tell you how happy I was driving this very special car I was gifted, away from the workshop!! Never has it driven better!! Thankyou to ALL the Steves and those not called Steve, who I called Steve anyway. Patient, professional and perfectionists..just perfect! Thankyou ALL XX

Steve has helped me through some difficult situations throughout this restoration process. The car I bought was a total rot box, I had no idea. Nicola’s support with my finances has helped me get this car over the line. Don’t look elsewhere if you are serious about doing a restoration properly look no further.

I recently had corrosion repairs carried out to both front wings on my Porsche 944 and I am extremely pleased with the quality of the workmanship. The repairs involved cutting out the corroded sections and fabricating replacement metalwork rather than simply filling over the affected areas. The standard of fabrication and welding is excellent, with the repairs blending seamlessly into the original panels. The attention to detail is evident throughout the work, and the finished result looks completely in keeping with the car. As an owner of a classic Porsche, preserving originality is important to me, and the repairs have been completed in a way that maintains the character and integrity of the vehicle. The paint finish and panel presentation are superb, and once completed it is virtually impossible to tell where the repairs have been carried out. Overall, the craftsmanship is first-class and the car now looks significantly better than it did before the work was undertaken. If you are looking for high-quality metal fabrication and restoration work on a classic vehicle, I would have no hesitation in recommending them based on the quality of the finished product.

Excellent service and Neil’s knowledge is second to none. The wealth of experience resolved the issues with the carburettors ensuring I had an uneventful drive home and can now look forward to driving the car on the odd sunny days we call summer. Would recommend Carrosserie without hesitation.

Great service , top quality work , very friendly and helpful , i had a probem with no dipped headlights and a couple of nasty stonechips and despite being very short notice they fitted me in the next day diagnosed the faults and while that was going on the paint guy sorted the stonechips , two hours later all completed . I know these guys will take good care of my classic car and do an excellent job I've used them before . Highly recommended .

Reference: 1939 Rolls-Royce Wraith – Rewire. I recently received my car back and I am absolutely delighted with their work. The rewiring has been completed to an exceptionally high standard, and it is evident that great skill and care went into the process.

I found the team at Carrosserie to be friendly and helpful whilst maintaining an organised and professional approach towards the job in hand, they were also able to incorporate extra work I asked for at the eleventh hour. Carrosserie kept to the 'booked in' start date for the work to commence and throughought the work cycle i was presented with photos and videos as the work progressed. I'm very happy with the finished job, thank you and well done Carrosserie.

A big thank you to the team who worked on my 20 year old BMW. The car looks fantastic and the care and attention to detail tackling the rust that was in a most awkward place showed real desire for doing the best job possible. Updates and photographs were given daily as the job progressed. Finally the customer care was second to none, and my job wasn't anything like a serious restoration. Thanks again. Ian

Took my Escort XR3i to Carosserie for re-commissioning. Brakes, suspension, springs, shocks, general overhaul - some gaskets,polish etc. All staff very welcoming, professional from office staff to engineers. Took me through the car's inspection - lots of photos of work to be done, progress and work finished. Kept in touch via e-mail throughout project. Not cheap but you get what you pay for with old motors! Good luck with move to new premises.

Neil who owns the company straight away gave me one of the best buying experiences I have ever had. He was nice to speak with giving me confidence in buying from him from the outset. This continued throughout the buying process with updates on the process of finance that he organised. Because of my working schedule being so hectic and having to juggle many parental duties. We were unable to get over to pick up the car in the week. Despite the company being closed on weekends, Neil went out of his way to meet me on a Saturday afternoon and even showed me around his amazing company. It was so clear to me that this is someone who is genuine, kind and cares about his company and customers in equal amounts. A truly rare thing in this day in age. I wouldn't hesitate to use his company myself in the future and would recommend him to friends and family in a heartbeat.
