Aston Martin DB2/4 restoration

In primer and awaiting paint, this Aston Martin DB2/4 was difficult to work with as the bonnet is enormous in relation to the car size and required skill to enable a perfect fit.

Aston Martin V8 "Oscar India" re painted

Both dainty and brutish at the same time, the classic Aston Martin V8 "Oscar India" is a favourite of ours.


Aston Martin V8 body re painting
Why "Oscar India"? The O I stands for October Introduction and was an Aston Martin code for the revised V8. Wood as opposed to crackle finished dash, flip tail and many detail improvements lifted the car back in 1978.

The Aston pictured was entrusted to us for a full body respray and is shown inside our workshop. We pride ourselves on our environmental and health & safety credentials. You can see in front of the Aston the sander that is attached to a dust extraction system.

Some classic cars arrive as a pile of bits...

 .....but we have the experience to work through this to bring a project to a successful conclusion.

The art of aluminium bodywork and ash framing

We generally focus on specific projects on this blog, however our core skills are paint work, aluminium bodywork and ash framing and this needs mentioning as part of the overall picture.
