Wood is probably the first material man was able to fashion
into objects of utility, then into objects of beauty. In our opinion, the art
of coach building is a wonderful combination of both elements. Who can fail to
see this when the frame of quality Vintage or Classic car is revealed in all
it’s glory? Who fail to appreciate the skill and art of the builder who
combines an elegance of practical utility with beauty of form and strength.
We are fortunate to have with us Reon Bird, a highly skilled woodwork craftsman who has enjoyed a
long working relationship with the Principal David Woods. Together, they have restored body work on a
significant number of best regarded Vintage and Classic cars here and overseas.
Reon not only has expert knowledge of timber characteristics such as grain
structure, strength, durability, resistance to rot or warping but also produces
superlative cabinet work for interior fittings with many examples well known to
vintage and classic car enthusiasts.
