History

Our story

Revive a classic is owned and run by Dean, alongside the team of highly skilled craftsmen with many years experience in the motor trade. 

We are highly skilled welders and fabricators with an attention to detail like no other. Between the team, we also have many years experience in panel beating, crash repair, paint and our founder, Dean, is also fully trained as a paintless dent removal technician. We are able to undertake all aspects of car body work repair from bare metal up to and including paint.

Why the passion for classics?

Dean has always had a keen interest in classic cars, spending time as his uncles shadow on various Ford Capri’s and Cortina’s when he was young. 

The bug for classic cars never left him and after spending many years working on modern vehicles and an inspirational road trip across America’s mother road Route 66, where he saw hundreds of classic cars in various states of repair, Dean just wanted to try and bring them back to their original glory. So, he began working in the classic car sector years ago and has not looked back since.

It has always been important for us at Revive a classic, to employ people with the same passion. We want our customers to feel confident in the knowledge that their classic car is being restored by people who truly appreciate the history of motoring and keeping these vehicles on the road for many more years to come. 

Variety is the spice of life

The team have proudly worked on various makes and models of cars over the years working with classics. From Morris minors to E-type Jaguars and almost anything in between.

All our staff are skilled and carry different talents and qualities that make us proud to have them working with us at Revive a classic. Rob, for example, has over 40 years experience in the motor trade, he has done some mechanics previously but his main training has been in panel beating, welding, body work and paint. He has a true love for classic cars and it shows in his workmanship.

As a team, we are keen to continue to expand our experience so we currently do not specialise in any specific make and model. So anything from MOT repairs to full restorations on your classic cars, bring our way for an attention to detail, quality, full concours finish.
