Renovation

There are few things more delightful than a classic Bristol restored by the Factory to its original glory. Under the the new ownwership, Bristol Cars is not only looking to the future but is committed to supporting its customers, new and old.

There are many restorers and specialists around but none have the experience of building the cars from new. However competent they may be, when it comes to restoring Bristols they must guess how the work was originally done and inevitably they sometimes guess wrong.

At the factory, not only can the people who built your car when new be involved but all the original drawings, fixtures and jigs are available to them to ensure a perfect job. Furthermore, thanks to the instant availability of necessary original factory parts, the job can be completed much more quickly, and therefore, at a lower cost than anyone else.

Our modern paint shops use the latest water-based paints and clearcoat systems to ensure that Bristol's traditions of quality can be maintained and even improved upon. Thanks to our library of original data every car's paintwork can be matched to its exact original specification, as can every other detail. Work can be carried out in stages to suit your budget or financing arranged to ease the cost of the work. From simple jobs such as woodwork renovation and leather conservation through to a full restoration to international concours standards we will be delighted to address your requirements. It is always our aim to exceed your expectations. For further information, please contact the showroom on 020 7603 5555.

Leather Service
Given regular attention, your car's leather trim can be maintained in fine condition almost indefinitely. However, every year the surfaces should be deep cleaned to prevent contaminants from becoming ingrained. The leather can then be infused with conditioners and moisturisers to maintain new supple feel.
Applicability: All models

Leather Renovation
When leather has not been maintained it becomes dry and prone to ugly cracks and splits. In addition dye can be lost from the seat facings, notably in folds and creases giving a tired and unsightly appearance. In many cases the leather can be partially renovated by a process of deep cleaning, extensive infusion of oils and conditioners and re dying of the leather facings where necessary. Such work is much less expensive than re trimming and restores much of your vehicles desirability and value.
Applicability: All models

Wood Restoration
Over many years wood trim tends to fade, crack and discolour. Refurbishing using the latest techniques gives a rich - looking and more durable finish that will make your classic Bristol feel like new again.
