YOUR CLASSIC CAR TEAM
Project Shop has re-opened on a limited basis. However we will continue to be guided by government advise and changing circumstances.
To protect the team, we have scaled back our staff density, are practising social distancing and have all the protective and cleaning equipment necessary. We ask that you do not visit the workshop, but contact Simeon direct with enquiries on 07590 061 621. He can arrange contactless collection and delivery of your vehicle which will be fully sanitised before and after work is carried out.
Based less than a mile from Classic Car Mecca Bicester Heritage, Project Shop is a dedicated maintenance and restoration company for all collectors’ cars.
If, like us, you want to drive your classic reliably then you have found the right team to help you. Whether you use your car for high days, endurance rallies or touring, with a 12-strong team we have expertise in every aspect of classic cars.

Founding Principle

However, from the moment I started collecting real ones, I understood that buying them was the easy bit. Project Shop began in 2012 because I couldn’t find a business who could build long term reliability into my cars. Our founding principle is:
We take the pain out of classic car ownership so you can enjoy the journey.
