We aim to carry out our work to a high standard, at a competitive price and to a timescale that suits the customer, and it's always nice when they write to us because they are happy with how we have dealt with their particular car. These are extracts from some of those letters:
Hi Steve
WOW - what more can I say!
The E-Type S3 drives superbly now - no misfiring at all and the gearbox is positive and smooth.
A huge Thank you for what you have done and I now know where to come if I need work done on the old lady.
Thank you once again
Best regards

Steve,
Just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the car.
The screen looks great, with those re-chromed hockey sticks and the gutter trim isn't hanging off!
Not only that but it runs and idles so much better than it ever has done. I always had to use the choke to start it if I left it for more than 30 mins, now it just starts, and runs AND idles properly from cold!
Small as it may seem the convenience of a properly working door lock makes all the difference when using the car.
I appreciated your comments on how well I had restored the car, but it definitely required your professional services to make those finishing touches.
Again, many thanks & I look forward to hearing from you when the carb trumpets arrive.
Please pass on my thanks to the rest of your team.
Kind regards

"I came to Southern Classics after my series III E Type had been butchered by another company attempting an engine management and injection upgrade. I have nothing but praise for Steve and his team for their efficient repair and restoration of my car. They thoughtfully and painstakingly worked through the problems they inherited, kept me up to date throughout the process, and above all delivered what they promised. It wasn't cheap, but the results have been outstanding.

"Southern Classics did a great job of restoring my E-type S3 Roadster. They really cared for the vehicle and kept me fully informed at each stage about progress and costs" MD, London.
Dear Steve,
Just a short note to thank you and Keith for fitting my car in at such short notice yesterday. You did a great job, at a very reasonable price, and she's running beautifully.
From the marvellous cars in your workshop, I can see that you're used to dealing with more rarified models than my humble XJ40. I'm particularly grateful therefore that she obviously received the same TLC !
I look forward to doing business with you in the future.
Best Wishes,

P. D: I have used Southern Classics for many years. The guys have just changed the gearbox on my series 1 3.8 e-type. As usual the work and attention to detail is second to none. BUT the other reason i use this company is for their Honesty.!
Geoffrey Laycock, Ottershaw .. Steve, wanted to say a huge thanks for all the work on my now finished E Type. It's been a long, painful two years for me but the wait was worth it. Fabulous car exactly how I wanted it.
