Alfa Romeo GTV6 – ‘Restomod’ Style
One of my favourite projects is building a ‘restomod’ style GTV6. The owner of this car is a serial Alfa collector and regular client here. He was very lucky to find a 1 owner example with just 30k miles on as the base car. Nonetheless, being 30 odd years old by the time we got […]

Fiat Dino 2000 Coupe Restoration
This 1967 Fiat Dino coupe had been left pretty much unused for 12 years. All this time was spent garaged fortunately, which meant that she hadn’t deteriorated too badly. The aim was originally to strip her of all exterior trim, lights etc and carry out a full repaint followed by a mechanical recommission to get […]
Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV6 3.0 24V Special
This GTV6 is undoubtably the largest and most ‘bespoke’ project we have undertaken since starting the business in 2002. The owner came to me having never owned or driven a GTV6, but he had lusted after one since seeing & hearing one pull away from a junction as a lad in 1981! We started with […]
Fiat Dino Spider 2000
This car came to us as what I call a ‘hospital job’. Having been driven 7 years previously by her owner into the first of 2 ‘restoration’ worskhops who agreed to take her on she arrived with us as rolling shell painted to a poor standard and in the wrong colour with lots of unsorted boxes […]
Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV 2.0
This has been another of our more ‘personalised’ projects and also came to us as a ‘hospital job’. She arrived having had a very poor quality ‘restoration’ to the bodywork and again, due ot not following the correct method for application of the paint used was not the colour the owner desired. The finishing touch […]
Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV6 3.0
Owned by the same gentleman since 1990 this old girl last saw the road in 1991! Since then she has been sat variously in dry garages or for the last 10 years or so a barn. Having always intended to undertake the restoration himself, following a number of years in the restoration trade, at age […]
Alfa Romeo 75 3.0
This Alfa 75 was 20 years in the making for her owner. As a young man a friend lent him a near new example which bowled him over for a number of reasons, here in his own words: “My memories of the car are of the sound of the engine, the lightness and balance of […]
Practical Performance Car magazine
Practical Performance Car magazine (www.ppcmag.co.uk) recently ran two articles featuring cars prepared by Alex. October 2007 issue contained a GTV6 Buyers’ Guide with some stunning studio shots (see below) of a newly restored, red 3.0 car. The following month Alex’s own 75 featured in a test of “£2K” track cars.
Trackfun & Marshals’ Club track days
As it did last year, the Goodwood Marshals’ Club track day rounded off the season and, despite the rain, we were keen to get out on the circuit and put in some miles. The Trackfun day a few weeks before at the begining of November had been busy and track time wasn’t in great supply. […]
AutoItalia photoshoot

The car, built and maintained by us, is detailed in an article called “Fast Trackers” along with Wayne Ellett’s 75 3.5. Bill was interviewed by the magazine at Chobham test track where the car was driven by a journalist and […]

Besides the obvious benefits of having more indoor and outdoor space for storage and more space to work on cars (see photos), the workshop is much more accessible to main transport links than […]
summer track days
Myself and some friends enjoyed a track day at Goodwood on July 19th. Wet weather was forecast, so “FEKR”, my 3-litre 75, was dusted off and pressed into action. Despite a few drops of rain, the track remained dry and I spent some time experimenting with the pressure in the car’s Toyo T1R Proxes tyres. I […]
