Colmore Classic Auto Care looks after older cars with a calm, methodical approach. The focus is on preservation: gentle washing, careful paint correction where helpful, trim revival, and tidy interiors ready for regular use.
Each service is described plainly — paint condition, materials used, time needed, and any light recommendations. If you keep a vintage daily or a weekend tourer, this workshop fits that rhythm. Send a short note with model, year, and what you’d like to improve.

How long does a visit take?
Most sessions run between one and four hours depending on the car and service. We’ll outline timing when we see your model and paint condition.
Do you work on very old paint?
Yes, with a light touch. We start with gentle products, test a small area, and proceed only if the finish responds well.
Can I wait on site?
There’s a small seating area. Many owners prefer a walk around the Quarter; we message when the car is ready for collection.
What products do you use?
pH-neutral shampoos, soft mitts, non-acid wheel cleaners, and mild polishes chosen by paint type. A brief product list is shared after booking.
Do you store cars?
We can prepare for storage and recommend nearby options. Covers and moisture control are discussed during the visit.
How do I confirm a slot?
Use the form below with your model, year, and preferred date. We reply with current times and a simple next step.
Do you handle concours preparation?
Light concours prep can be arranged for smaller events. We’ll note what’s realistic for the car within a sensible timeframe.
Do you source parts?
We do not trade parts. If we spot missing trims or clips, we’ll point you to specialist suppliers we’ve found practical.
First Wash After Storage
