Whether a barn find or a family heirloom, we restore classics to their former glory.  Frame-off rebuilds and restorations, bodywork, engine overhauls and interior refurbishments - we do it all.

Authenticity Matters to us.  From sourcing original parts to matching period-correct colours, we obsess over authenticity. Our restorations transport you back to the golden age of motoring.  Let us breathe new life into your vintage beauty.

Our garage specialises in breathing new life into vintage cars.  Whatever the automobile, a weathered Rolls-Royce, a classic Bentley, or a rare Bugatti; we meticulously restore the bodywork.  

We repair rust, straighten dented panels, and recreate missing parts.  Our goal?  To honour the car’s original beauty whilst ensuring it is roadworthy once again.

Restoration Artistry:

Our skilled artisans breathe new life into faded paint, worn leather, and vintage engines.  Each restoration is carefully devised to meet the needs and dreams of our patrons.  We source original parts (where possible and practical) and lovingly restore them; or create authentic reproductions and weave them seamlessly into the fabric of history.

Can’t find an obsolete or custom part for your vintage classic car?  Do you own a classic Rolls Royce, Bentley, Packard or other valuable classic automobile and have a broken, or worn-out trim part or other plastic, or metal part, that you can’t find anywhere else?  Let our experts make it for you using the latest technology.

Bespoke Fabrication:

Send us your part and we will scan and reverse engineer it to create a precise duplicate; or customise it to your exact specification.  Our precision laser scanners can build a 3D model of your part that is accurate to within two thousandths of an inch.  Then using a CNC machine, we will create an exact duplicate of your part, in plastic or metal; or import it into our 3D CAD software to customise it to your requirements.

At Gatsby Autoworx, we take pride in preserving automotive history.  But what exactly is “Coachworks”?  It is far more than just a simple term; it is an art form that breathes life into vintage and bespoke automobiles.  

Coachworks refers to the specialised craftsmanship involved in designing, building and restoring the bodywork of classic cars.  In the golden era of automobiles (1910s to 1950s) Coachworks was synonymous with luxury and exclusivity.  Custom coachbuilders collaborated with prestigious car manufacturers to create bespoke bodies for discerning clients.  These one-of-a-kind designs often featured intricate woodwork, hand-formed panels and opulent interiors.  

At Gatsby Autoworx, we are reviving history.  Coachworks is about passion and skill – every detail matters.  Our artisans blend traditional techniques with modern precision.

Body Fabrication:

• Coachbuilders meticulously shape and mould the metal or aluminium sheets that form the car’s exterior. They create elegant curves, flowing lines, and distinctive features that define each vehicle.
• Whether it’s a sleek sports model, a stately sedan, or a regal limousine; the bodywork is the canvas upon which history is etched.

Artistry in Metal:

• Every dent, every curve, and every chrome accent receive our undivided attention.  We combine modern techniques with old-world sensibilities to create flawless finishes.

Heritage Preservation:

• Classic cars tell stories - of bygone eras, daring adventures, and timeless elegance. Coachworks ensures these stories endure.
• When you choose the services of Gatsby Autoworx, you’re not just restoring a car; you’re safeguarding a piece of history.  We honour the legacy of automotive icons.

Uniqueness:

• Unlike mass-produced vehicles, a Coachworks creation is unique.  It reflects the owner’s personality, preferences, and dreams.
• Whether it’s a vintage Bentley or a rare Delahaye, it stands out in a sea of modern predictability.

Whether you are a collector, an enthusiast – or simply curious; step into our world and witness the magic as timeless, unique artworks emerge from the hands of our experts.

The heart of a classic car lies in its engine. We revive vintage powerplants, ensuring they purr like they did when they first hit the open road.  We take great pride in restoring and rebuilding rare and antique classic engines.    

Our experts reconstruct each engine using a combination of the latest available technology, hand tools and special techniques (as specified by the manufacturer).  In fact, where necessary, we fabricate in-house many of the tooling and parts that are no longer available.  

We then tune your rebuilt engine for specific use, whatever that may be… daily driving, weekend sojourns, concourse events or competition.  There is nothing quite like the thrill one experiences when a newly rebuilt engine roars to life.
