Motorcars Ltd-Central has fantastic service and can work until they find how to fix very complex problems to get my 16 year old Land Rover LR4 running flawlessly again. Highly recommended.

This is THE shop to bring your British Classic for repairs. My 1973 TR6 was really out of sorts. Repairing it was well beyond my skills...clutch and transmission work, plus a bunch of other issues. I got it to Kent's place as soon as I could. He and his team quickly diagnosed the problem areas and gave several options for me to consider. The cost estimates were transparent and well communicated. He and his team made several recommendations to ensure a better running car. I highly recommend this shop to anyone who needs minor or major repairs on a British Classic.

I cannot recommend Motorcars Ltd highly enough! My 1970 Jaguar XKE had been sitting sadly in my garage for years—beautiful lines, but the engine hadn't turned over in forever, fuel system gummed up, tires 33yrs old, and a long list of the usual classic Jag issues that make most mechanics politely back away. I brought it to Kent, Joe, and the team with low expectations, figuring at best they'd get it running "sort of" and I'd have to live with quirks. Instead, they brought my E-Type back to life like it just rolled off the line! The first time I turned the key and heard that legendary exhaust note fill the air—amazing. These folks aren't just mechanics—they're Jaguar enthusiasts. Fair pricing for the level of expertise, spotless communication, and the car looks and runs better than I ever hoped. If you have a classic (especially a finicky British icon like an XKE), do yourself a favor and bring it here. They don't just fix cars—they revive legends. My Jaguar is back on the road where it belongs, and I owe it all to this incredible team. Thank you for giving me back one of the greatest driving experiences on earth! I'll be back for every future service and already telling every car friend about you. 10/10, worth every penny.

The Motorcars Ltd British Classic Car Shop

What is a British classic?
 A British Classic is any British car made before 1988, but especially those British cars made during the 1950’s, 1960’s and 1970’s. These were the most prolific years – the MG T-Series – MG TC, MG TD, MG TF, the MGA and the MGB, the Jaguar XK120, XK140, XK150, the Jaguar XKE and XKE V12, the Triumph TR3, TR4, TR6, the Austin Healey 100, the Austin Healy 3000 MK3 and Bug Eye Sprites… they all have a special place at Motorcars Ltd.

Motorcars Ltd was founded in 1972 right in the middle of that hey-day. People were actually driving these cars to work every day, and when we started, we quickly realized that MGB’s and TR6’s needed routine maintenance along with the XKE’s and XK120’s and XK150’s that we were servicing.

It was a pretty crazy time – we performed full restorations on MG T Series, XK120’s and maintained daily drivers of the same vintage – at one point, we had over 12 full restorations in progress!

Today, Motorcars Ltd retains a special place in our shop for the mechanical service, repair and maintenance for all British Classic Cars….  we keep them all on the road.
