At our Bicester workshop, much of what we do involves upgrading classics. Inside and out, to meet the needs of modern motoring while keeping their character intact.

✅ From simple comfort improvements like seat adjustments or lumbar supports
✅ To transformative upgrades such as power steering, uprated electrics, or more efficient braking

A new generation of classic car custodians demands a fresh approach. That’s why we work with the very best technical partners to deliver solutions that are evolving, adaptable, and above all relevant, ensuring your classic is ready for today’s roads.

A bespoke engine build on a Jaguar 4.2, 6 cylinder engine. The original block had been badly repaired any number of times and really wasn't good to go again. We sourced a replacement block and crank and built the engine to an 'as new' specification and a fully balanced drive line.
With a completely new engine building facility in build please get in touch if you have a project you'd like to discuss.

Your classic isn’t just a car, it’s a piece of history. But even legends need the right footing.
Tyres are the only thing connecting your pride and joy to the road, and ageing rubber can compromise handling, braking, and safety, even if the tread looks fine. Cracks, flat spots, and hardened compounds are common on classics that aren’t driven daily.
Whether you’re prepping for show season or planning your next countryside run, now’s the perfect time to have your tyres inspected or replaced. From semi-slick to whitewalls.
Supplied and expertly fitted by The Classic Collective workshops in in Bicester
Book your inspection today and drive with confidence.

CLASSIC CAR PROBLEMS SOLVED

"I have challenged Classic Collective with a variety of classics from a 1930s Sunbeam to a 1960s Lancia Flavia Zagato to my daily-driven Range Rover Classic. Problems are relentlessly tracked down, and resolved even if original parts are not longer available and they have to be patiently repaired or inventively replaced. The guys make car repair almost fun! And not too hard on the wallet either!" Christopher

Slow cranking? Weak battery? Dim lights at idle?

Often the problem is not the battery. It’s the original charging system struggling to keep up with modern electrical loads.

Our latest blog explains how modern starter motors, alternators and dynators transform reliability in classic cars.

🚗 Want even better protection? We also offer water-less coolant, with perks like:

Boiling point up to ~180 °C so less stress in hot conditions
Lower system pressure → reduced risk of head gasket or hose failure
Inert chemistry → no corrosion
Long life (you don’t have to change it frequently)

It’s an upgrade—not a cure-all. We use it where appropriate. Ask us if this might suit your classic.

Fresh coolant makes your engine more efficient. It also protect against rust. This increases the life of your radiator, thermostat and water pump.
