Harland Restorations

Four crafts, under one roof.

Nothing on the car is farmed out. The metal, the engine, the paint and the trim are all done here, in our workshop in Leeds.

Chassis-up, to bare metal, with the car's own numbers kept.

Every restoration starts by taking the car apart down to the chassis and stripping the body back to bare metal. We keep matching numbers, and we keep the original panels wherever they survive. Where a panel can't be saved, a new one is made by hand, here in the workshop.

Engine out, and on the bench.

Engine-out rebuilds: the engine comes out of the car and is machined, balanced and run in on the bench before it goes back in. The machining sheets go into the car's history file.

Paint and coachwork

Panels are beaten by hand. Then the colour is matched to the car's year, and the car is painted in our own single-car booth, one car in it at a time.

Trim and interiors

The inside of the car is done under the same roof. Hides are cut and stitched in-house, carpets are bound by hand, and the gauges are taken apart and rebuilt.
