The team of 60 engineers and craftsmen, based at our HQ, can restore any original parts of your vehicle that can be reclaimed, or reproduce them to original specifications in perfect detail. Our full concours-standard restorations can take around 3,500+ hours to complete, using a library of original drawings and diagrams developed by the car’s original engineers. We always try to source original parts but if they’re no longer available our craftsmen and technicians will create them in-house. In our fabrication shop, sheet metal and aluminium are rolled by hand with incredible precision to get the smooth lines and fit that historic vehicles demand. From panelling to air-conditioning system ducting, our in-house metalworkers produce stunning craftsmanship – even where it cannot be seen. Woodham Mortimer’s dedicated paint shop uses only the best materials, true to original paint codes or bespoke, and is equipped to carry out total bodywork restoration to our legendary high quality and finish. Woodham Mortimer restorations have won awards at some of the largest Concours d’Elegance events in the world, including Pebble Beach and Salon Privé. If your car isn’t in need of a full restoration, the Woodham Mortimer team can re-paint, re-trim, re-chrome or re-build your vehicle according to your particular needs.

Restoration of classic cars is the core of our business. Sometimes we bring a vehicle back to its original state in detail, at other times there are wishes for a more contemporary look. This is one of the reasons why we prepare every restoration with an extensive conversation. We map out all wishes and work closely together during the entire restoration. Restoration of classic cars is different every time. Sometimes it concerns, for example, detailing an existing interior, replacing parts or refurbishing upholstery or other attributes. The car will be restored to beautiful condition. Sometimes it concerns repairs and other times it concerns a complete new construction of an interior. Because even if there is nothing left, Peet Classics makes everything to measure and ensures that the originality of the oldtimer is preserved. Upholstery is our specialty. We process leather and fabric with the best techniques and have specialist equipment in-house. Our sewing machines and workbenches are tailor-made for us so that we can get the best out of our material. For example, we are able to supply leather in any desired color. Our leather splitting machine enables perfect processing. In combination with the best quality leather and yarn and years of experience, this makes Peet Classics the specialist when it comes to classic car interiors. Many owners of classic cars already know where to find us in their preparations for the Tulpenrallye, SLS Classic, Horneland Rally, the Flying Scotsman Rally, Tour Ecosse, The Winter Trail and many other rallies. We ensure that you can complete a race without any worries. Our help consists of good preparation, on-site support and, where necessary, checks after a rally.
SL Specialist Mercedes restoration has always been an integral part of our business and we have been proud to produce restorations of the highest quality to many older models such as the W111/112, 121, 113, and even the ubiquitous 300SL “Gullwing”.
