Company Profile and History The Beginning - 1993
The very first XK restored by Concours, a black XK150S roadster T832078DN, was runner up at the first
ever Concours we had entered, the 1994 Jaguar National Concours d'elelgance held in Tasmania. From there the car won
OUTRIGHT at the 1994 CVVTMC Club Chanpions Concours (Sydney), the 1994 Jaguar Drivers Club of Australia State Concours (Sydney), the 1994 Darling Harbour Concours (Sydney), the 1995 Australian Concours D'Elegance (Gold Coast) and was runner up at the 1995 Jaguar National Concours D'Elegance (Brisbane), the 1995 Jaguar Drivers Club of Australia State Concours (Sydney) and the 1996 Jaguar National Concours D'Elegance (Canberra).
Rapid Growth and Concour Success Through The 1990's
In 1996, the business had grown to the extent that a move into much larger premises in Old Pittwater Road, Brookvale, was necessary. The staff level grew to 10 and typically 30 vehicles were being worked on at any given time. The next 6 years at these premises saw many classic vehicles, In 1999, the team was asked to build an exact replica of the classic Jaguar racer, the C_Type. We have built 5 to date and they have received worldwide acclaim. 
Big Changes Through The 2000's and More Concours Success
In 2003 a big decision was made to move the entire business to the Central Coast of NSW, just a one-hour drive north of Sydney. The business still operated the same but with a lower, more specific, staff level in larger more strategically laid out premises. More special concour d’elegance wins have followed with an Aston Martin Lagonda restored by the team winning the 2008 AMOC Concour OUTRIGHT and a rare RHD_XK140 roadster S800040 winning every concour it entered OUTRIGHT, including the 2004 Jaguar National Concour D'Elegance (Canberra).  Our next concour success was with XK120661123. This car is our most awarded restoration to date, having won every Concour it was entered in OUTRIGHT, including the 2008 Jaguar Drivers Club of Australia Concors D' Elegance (Sydney), the 2009 Jaguar National Concour D'Elegance (Hobart), the 2009 CMC Concours D' Elegance (Syndey). Then in 2010, 661123 was voted the "Inaguarl Australian Classic Car Magazine Car of the Year", in which this car was described "as close to perfection as one could imagine". 2010 - Onwards and Upwards
