Restorations

150 years of experience

With over 150 years of combined experience, our craftsmen and coach builders are some of the most accomplished in the UK and our reputation for craftsmanship and reliability is well known in this very specialised area of work.

We are passionate about the history of vintage & classic vehicles and we take great pride in restoring them. You can see vehicles we’ve restored at various bus rallies and shows across the country. Among our team are coach builders, carpenters, joiners, welders, painters and signs writers.

We have a vast supply of fabricators for those bespoke items that can’t be purchased. Trim and upholstery, as traditional as we possibly can. Our apprentice scheme encompasses all aspects of our business, offering a career with us and skills for life.

Restorations

Guy Arab GTR 484

The 1951 burnt out Guy Arab GTR 484 arrived at South East Coachworks, its final refurbishment. This historic bus has been completely refurbished & made roadworthy for proud owners. The members of the 222 Group of Southampton & District Heritage Trust. Almost all panels were re-fabricated & the whole flooring throughout the bus was replaced. The project was used to train the up & coming apprentice coach builders here at SEC & the project is now finally complete. It’s certainly one to be proud of!

Mini Harrington Coach

The Miniature Harrington Coach owned by Ray & Vanessa Field was painstakingly restored over several years here at South East Coachworks. The miniature coach was rebuilt & repainted and East Kent livery was even installed by SEC Signworks. The tiny seats were even trimmed in moquette!
