To whom it may concern;
TESTIMONIAL TO GREG ROSS AND HIS COMPANY CLASSIQUE AUTOMOTIVE
In 1996 I delivered a derelict Jaguar XK150 to the above Company for total strip and restoration. During this work I had freedom to visit and discuss the project with Greg and at all times had good communication with him.
The quality of work produced by him and his tradesmen was of the highest standard and I have no hesitation in recommending his Company to a prospective client.
My project was long and involved and was finally completed in February 2004 on a very harmonious level. Should I ever engage in a similar project again I would certainly use Greg and his Company.

Re: Classique Automotive
When we purchased our 1960 Austin Healey it was in a thousand pieces. It had been stripped some years prior and a previous owner has some chassis repair work done. Generally, the whole "pallet of junk" was just as my wife described it. This was a car which I believe would possibly never have seen the road again.
As a qualified motor engineer trained during the 1950's era, rebuilding the mechanics and making a car out of the many boxes of parts, although a challenge, created no major difficulties for me.
However, the bodywork was another matter. The body panels were in very poor condition and considering that I wanted a finished Healey we would be proud of, it was obviously beyond my ability to rebuild the panelwork. After talking to Greg Ross and his staff at Classique Automotive I decided to entrust the job to them.
There were concerns about proceeding with this without knowing for certain what the end costs were going to be, but had little choice as I couldn't do the work to the standard required, and needed someone who I believe could.
I am totally satisfied with my choice of Classique Automotive and the workmanship put in by Philip and Greg was excellent. They rebuilt the chassis and in many cases were required to manufacture and effect major repairs to existing body panels. They kept me well informed on the progress, the costs were fair and they are easy people to deal with. The end result is a car rebuilt to a high standard of workmanship. Extremely pleasing.
Classique Automotive are currently rebuilding a friend's Healey on my recommendation.
