A Sunday well spent at the Bicester Motion Scramble.

We’re here as enthusiasts rather than exhibitors this time, enjoying a wander through a remarkable mix of machinery – with, inevitably, plenty of British classics catching our eye.

Events like this are a good reminder that these cars are at their best when they’re being used, shared and talked about.

And as for next year? We have a couple of rather special long-term customer projects taking shape in the workshop. Perhaps we’ll have something of our own to bring along…

First start after a full rebuild and she’s sounding good! The team were monitoring the cylinder head temperature, checking oil pressure along with the engine timing to make sure we are good to go for a long run prior to heading for the dyno.

Stay tuned to see more of this.

The workshop doors stayed closed on Friday as the Copthorne Classics team headed down to Goodwood for a day at the Revival.

It’s one of the highlights of the classic motoring calendar – and, being based in Sussex, it’s also very much on our doorstep.

For owners bringing cars to Goodwood events, or enthusiasts based locally, Copthorne Classics offers servicing, preparation, repairs, restoration and specialist engineering for Jaguar, Aston Martin, Lotus and other classic British cars. We now also offer specialist services for classic Ferrari.

If your car needs attention before its next event – or some fettling afterwards – come and see us.

A V12 E-type in the workshop for a thorough inspection and full service.

Alongside the routine maintenance, we’ve tracked down and addressed air leaks, reset the ignition timing and tuned the carburettors – getting everything working together as it should.

From routine servicing to fault-finding, tuning and more involved mechanical work, we offer specialist care for classic Jaguars from our Sussex workshop.

The final piece of the puzzle…

This Jaguar XK150S is receiving a handcrafted stainless steel exhaust from Classicfabs to complement extensive fast road cylinder head work, including Piper cams, upgraded valves and seats, taper valve guides with modern seals, and careful porting.

An engine is only as good as the system around it. With the cylinder head now able to breathe more efficiently, a free-flowing exhaust will help unlock the performance, responsiveness and soundtrack that these upgrades deserve.

Whether you’re looking for an original-spec rebuild or a fast road engine tailored for spirited driving, our workshop can help. Get in touch to discuss your next project.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand at the Bromley Pageant of Motoring this weekend.

As one of Sussex’s best-loved gatherings for classic car enthusiasts, it’s always a pleasure to spend the weekend talking cars, catching up with familiar faces and meeting new owners from across the South. From Jaguars and Aston Martins to MGs, Triumphs and plenty more besides, there was no shortage of wonderful machinery – or great conversations.

Being just down the road from our workshop made it especially rewarding to support such a fantastic local event, and we’re grateful to everyone who took the time to come and say hello.

If you’re looking for a trusted specialist to service, maintain, restore or rebuild your classic British car, we’d be delighted to welcome you to Copthorne Classics. Get in touch to discuss your next project – or simply drop in for a chat and a cup of tea.
