I would hesitate in recommending Chisbon Restorations as Adrian and his team have the knowledge and experience to deal with all manner of issues that arise during the course of a classic car restoration.
My Jowett Javelin was in a very sorry state before going to the workshop and came out with an excellent black respray (see workshop on Chisbon's website).

Old-school restoration company: straightforward to deal with, capable of pretty much anything and unusually versatile in today's world of over-specialisation. Adrian and his team have done great work for me on two very different cars with two very different briefs: one coachwork, one mechanicals, one pre war one post war. Both done properly and with minimum fuss.

Adrian did a lot of work on my Mark 10, replacing the woodwork, sorting out a few leaks, uprating the brakes and a bit of welding. Couldn't fault the work

Chisbon Restorations did a great job restoring the Rotary Club Christmas Sleigh - an unusual task but a fantastic result. A very generous gesture!

My experience with Chisbon Restorations has always been good , they have helped me with the various restoration jobs that have been needed on my 2 classic cars.
Its always a pleasure to visit the workshop and feel that the mechanics understand the various problems that occur from time to time with old cars.
Will certainly use them again should the need arise

Only the best is good enough for Adrian and the Chisbon team. This is clearly reflected in the quality of their work and their choice of suppliers. Their level of professionalism and expertise in maintaining and restoring classic cars is second to none - all carried out in a caring and friendly manner.

Chisbon Restorations recomissioned my 1934 MG PA last year. Adrian, owner of Chisbon is a pleasure to deal with. He did an excellent job and is highly professional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Adrian an Chisbon.

Chisbon have looked after my pre-war MG for a few years now and they are excellent. Adrian and the team have managed to solve all kinds of problems on the car, from body work to mechanical, which has enabled me to enjoy the car so much more. Highly recommended.

In my long association with Chisbon they have never disappointed. The quality of work is consistently premier league, communication is good and the finished job is often accompanied with photographic record of the work done.
In a world where “that will do” is too frequently the baseline Chisbon care passionate about what they do and stand head and shoulders above the pack!
Great service and great quality from people who truly care about what they do.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Chisbon Restorations. We have a 1947 Ford V8 that required a complete nuts and bolts restoration. The Ford had been off the road for over 30 years and was in a very poor condition. Earlier attempts at restoration by others had come to nothing. It was only by chance that we found out about Chisbon Restorations and we are very glad we did. Adrian did a fantastic job in bringing the car back to life and the quality of the workmanship is beyond question. Everyone who has seen the car has been impressed with the quality of the work done.
