Matt is our on-site electrical guru, just the man to update your car with the latest electronic ignition, fuel pumps and alternators, he's already installed central locking, CD and satalite navigation in an XK Jaguar so your wish is our command!

His general build credentials are impeccible and we regularly draw on his experience, special projects such as our CapeSport require thinking outside the box and Matt enjoys a challenge, ask him how he recently installed air conditioning into an XK140!

Bill Garlick

Engine man

We don't ask how he does it but he builds the sweetest engines and knows SU carbs inside out.

We recently upgraded a customers 3000 to CapeSport spec including a full engine rebuild and a few days after collecting the car the customer rang to say he'd just completed 2000 miles 'popping down' to this years Classic Le Mans!

He's since added another 4000 miles including another Le Mans bash this time with track time thrown in for good measure!

More recently he has spent a year working at another Austin Healey restorer but it’s here at Cape where we hope this interest will develop into a career.
