#1 Expert sought for S1 OTS restoration - recommendations?
Posted: Mon Jan 05, 2026 7:27 pm
Hi All,
Currently we're working on our Series 1 E type restoration (1965 OTS). Some of you may have seen us post the odd question here and there over the last few years!
We're about 10 years in and have broken the back of much of the work and are at the rebuilding stage (eg bodywork, engine & gearbox are done, we're now in the process of refitting everything, with some smaller individual parts being reconditioned as we go). But we're not finding enough time to get it back together within a reasonable timeframe.
Hence, we're wondering if there is someone around the Coventry /Warwickshire area (UK), with the right knowledge and experience, that would be interested in doing some private work on it. We have a nice home workshop (heated and equipped) and are not looking to move the car around, or "contract out" specific aspects.
If this may be something you’d be interested to help us with (or you know someone who would, or have a recommendation) please contact us
Ed : edward.pither@gmail.com / 07881234998
Rebecca: rdaustin@live.co.uk / 07939216674
We are based just north of Coventry.
Many thanks!
Ed & Rebecca
