Saving classic cars,
one at a time.

The Old Tin Shed is a community place for local classic car owners
that want to work on their own cars in a relatively clean and well equipped space
- with help, advice and plenty of tea.

Modifying & updating
Sprites and Midgets

These little cars can be made to handle big horsepower.
We can add new suspension, brakes, engines and transmissions.

A clean and tidy

Our workshop offers a great environment with good facilities
for classic car refurbishment, repair and restoration.
