Price increase from the 1st February 2024
Due to the rising costs of rent, services, insurance, utilities and the cost of living we have no alternative but to increase our hourly rate for the workshop and the body shop.
Unfortunately this will come into effect as of the 1st February 2024.
All ongoing work will be charged at a new rate of £40 per hour.
All new and recommencement work will be charged at the new rate of £45 per hour.
We do believe this is still a competitive price for the work we carry out
Currently we are not vat registered but this could change in the future.
This is the first increase we have made since we opened but in the current financial climate
We can no longer sustain it.
We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
If you wish to discuss this further please do not hesitate to contact us.

Armstrong Siddeley
Introduced In 1945 a day after the end of the second world war Armstrong Siddeley produced a completely new model of cars which was of high quality. Sports and saloon cars which offered luxurious interior trim, very generous rear seating and performance only previously found in true sports car of the day.
Not many cars were manufactured mainly due to their high price, not much less than a comparable Rolls Royce or Bentley and aimed at the same market. Now a rare car.
Sapphire 346
The 346 was the first of the Sapphires introduced late in 1952 for sale in 1953 and continuing until 1958. The six-cylinder 3,435 cc engine had hemi-spherical combustion chambers and could be fitted with the option of single or twin stromberg
carburettors(£25 extra)which increased the output from 125 to 150 bhp (93 to 112 kW) giving a top speed in excess of 100 mph (161 km/h). The front suspension was independent coil springs with a rigid axle and leaf springs at the rear.
The body was available as a four- or six-light (two or three windows on each side) at the same cost and with either a bench or individual front seats. The seats were finished in leather, with the dashboard and door-cappings in walnut veneer. A heater was standard.
The flowers used in our cars are seasonal and picked from our own garden
