FRANCIS GALASHAN

ex-Chairman of Bicester Heritage

I recently entrusted Tim Walker Restorations with rebuilding the engine on my ex-Brooklands Alvis 4.3 short-chassis tourer. With a brief to keep the engine to original specification, Guy and the team did a superb job, sourcing many difficult-to-obtain parts and conducting the rebuild with great care, communicating frequently throughout the process. They have also worked miracles on the chassis and brakes with the result that the car is once again a joy to drive and to compete in. I would recommend this company whole-heartedly!

ALLAN WIN

Director, Brooklands

I thought I should write to tell you how impressed we all are with the restoration of David Smethurst’s Alvis, which is now sitting proudly again in its accustomed place in the Museum. It was always a very smart car, but with a most pleasing patina which was developing as it matured. Somehow, despite the extensive repairs which you had to carry out, you have managed to preserve that delightful patina so that a visitor would have to search hard for evidence of recent work. The quality of your work, combined with your patience and understanding as we worked through the convoluted insurance claim payment process, have made it a pleasure to do business with your company, and we would happily use Tim Walker Restorations again, and recommend others to do so.
