Whatever your motivation for restoring a car, it is the ultimate labour of love, requiring time, patience, skill and of course, but finding a good garage or workshop with the right tools for the job is not easy but at Pond and Sharman we are ready. For a classic car lover, bringing a car back to life is a rewarding experience, and one that could see you turn a profit when you sell the car on.

Original classic cars are becoming a rarity in the UK, with many being too expensive for the average collector. This means more classic car enthusiasts are turning to restoration as a way of affordably owning their dream car. But as with all dreams and ambitions, there’s work to be done before you stand back and admire your handiwork — with the average classic car restoration taking at least 1,000 hours to complete.
