Restoration Workshop

Classic Motor Show 2022

Want to find out about classic vehicle restoration?
Whether you're looking to work on your own project, or for a career change, you can learn some great skills in The Restoration Theatre in association with Practical Classics!

The Restoration Workshop, sponsored by Practical Classics, offers visitors the opportunity to learn from expert mechanics and renovators. Benefit from the expertise of the specialised team from Gilbert-Michaelson Ltd, led by co-founder Mike Coman.

Mike and his team have a wealth of knowledge and experience of classic car restoration under their belts, and are more than happy to advise members of the audience and demonstrate their skills.

Focusing on body work, you can get expert advice - either as part of the general audience or on a one-to-one basis - on panel repairs, lead loading, paint polishing and more.
