A specialist in British classic cars
Sussex-based experts in Jaguar, Aston Martin, Lotus and iconic British sports cars.
A genuine family business
Run by a father-and-son team supported by staff trained at Bicester Heritage, Copthorne Classics is a highly acclaimed workshop that specialises in classic British marques. It brings a traditional work ethic to servicing and restoration of classic vehicles lost to all but a very few independent specialist garages.
Copthorne Classics offers extensive expertise in Jaguar, Aston Martin and Lotus vehicles, plus models from MG, Triumph, Rover, Morris, Riley, Austin and others. Our services range from routine maintenance to restoration and race preparation – and we offer specialist restomod services for Jaguar and Daimler models. See our Services page for more details – or call us to find out more.
Update: we’ve moved to brand new, fully insulated 5,000sq ft workshop facilities with four ramps, four restoration bays, an in-house machine shop and larger engine build room. This way for more details.
Testimonials
“My Triumph GT6 was in for an engine and carburettor overhaul and was unrecognisably better when I got it back. The care taken and attention to detail was second to none. Thanks Lee.”
— Mike E.
“Having had a bad experience elsewhere, I trusted Copthorne Classics with my Jaguar Mk2 3.8 – and what a job they did! A full engine rebuild plus front-to-back overhaul of the car, which is now faultless. I’ve just dropped down my Lotus for similar work.”
— Dave N.
“Copthorne Classics pulled out all the stops to prepare my old Daimler for a road trip to Le Mans – nothing was too much trouble and the car didn’t miss a beat.”
— Paul R.
“Amazing job done on my 1982 Morgan 4/4 under time pressure to meet the deadline for my son's wedding. Few have the amount of passion, integrity and attention to detail shown in every aspect of this important personal project.”
— Paul A.
