At any one time there are many different classic and vintage cars undergoing body and/or mechanical restoration in the H&VR workshop.

This will be a great opportunity to talk to Paul Chaleyer and the team, and to see how professional vehicle restorers go about their work to bring classic cars back to life.

When: 10.30 am to 12.30 pm
Where: 17 Cottage Street, Blackburn 3130
