This Lotus Twin Cam has received a comprehensive rebuild from the ground up, including a new cylinder block, fully machined cylinder head, upgraded Piper high-lift cams, Omega pistons, new Weber carburettors, balanced rotating assembly, and a host of precision engineering work throughout.

The result? A stronger, sharper engine producing around 135bhp and ready to deliver the character these lightweight British sports cars are famous for.

Whether you’re looking for a standard rebuild, performance upgrade or complete restoration, Copthorne Classics offers specialist engine building for Lotus and other iconic British marques.

A Jaguar Mk2 3.8 currently in the workshop for body repairs.

Introduced in 1959, the Mk2 remains one of Jaguar’s most recognisable saloons – combining sporting performance, elegant styling and everyday practicality in a way few cars have managed before or since.

Alongside specialist work such as this, Copthorne Classics offers a complete range of services for classic Jaguar ownership, from routine maintenance and servicing through to engine rebuilds, restoration projects and race preparation. With extensive experience across models including the E-Type, XK, XJ and Mk2, we’re equipped to support every stage of a car’s life.

Summer bookings are now being taken. If your Jaguar requires servicing, maintenance or specialist repair work, get in touch via the link in our bio.

A stunning Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II in for careful mechanical attention at Copthorne Classics.

This visit included a full tune-up, alongside replacement of the rear brake pipes and flexible hoses. Corrosion, rather than failure, had made preventative work the sensible route – with the rear suspension unit removed to gain the correct access and ensure the job was carried out properly.

While Jaguar and Aston Martin remain at the heart of what we do, our workshop experience extends across many of Britain’s great luxury and sporting marques – from Rolls-Royce and Jensen to Alvis and beyond.

Contact us via the link in bio to discuss servicing, restoration or specialist work for your classic.

A modern classic in for routine care.

This Aston Martin Vanquish S has been through the workshop for light servicing and maintenance – the kind of work that keeps these cars driving exactly as they should.

At Copthorne Classics, we’re set up to support newer classics like this alongside the earlier DB cars and Jaguars – with the same attention to detail, facilities, and standards you’d expect from a main franchise dealer, but with a more personal, specialist approach.

If you’re running a modern Aston Martin or Jaguar and want it maintained properly, we’d be pleased to help.

Book via the link in bio.

This 1460 fast road Mini engine is paired with a straight-cut ’box for unmistakable edge – installed into a reworked engine bay with upgraded driveshafts and a neatly thought-through loom that disconnects at the bulkhead, allowing the engine to come out as one complete unit. Clean, purposeful, and built to be used.

If you’re planning competition or fast road work, we approach every build with the same level of detail – from the internals you don’t see to the systems that make life easier trackside.

Follow the link in our bio to discuss your own competition engine project.

A Jaguar XK120 OTS makes its way to the workshop for pre-summer servicing and maintenance – to make sure everything is exactly as it should be before the season begins.

These early cars reward careful preparation. Fluids, ignition, cooling, carburation – all checked and set up properly so the car feels right from the first mile, not the fifth.

If you’re planning to use your car this summer, now is the moment to get ahead of it.

We’re taking bookings for May and June for pre-season servicing and preparation – contact us via the link in bio to secure a slot.

At Copthorne Classics, we specialise in the cars that defined British motoring – Jaguar, Aston Martin, Lotus and more. From routine servicing to full restorations, race preparation and bespoke restomod projects, everything we do is grounded in proper engineering and a deep understanding of these machines.

Our workshop combines traditional craftsmanship with modern facilities – from in-house engine builds to careful carburettor tuning – all carried out with the kind of attention that only comes from people who genuinely care about the work.

A family-run business, built on trust, reputation and the quiet pursuit of doing things properly. 

If you’re looking for a specialist who understands your car as well as you do, find us via link in bio.

Aston Martins don’t shout – they thrum with intent.

From early DBs through to DB6 and beyond, these cars reward careful engineering. We’ve spent years understanding what makes them run properly – smooth, responsive, and ready to be used as they were intended.

If your DB car isn’t quite there, we know where to look. Contact via link in bio.
