JD Classics

Maldon, Essex, rurally situated on the Blackwater estuary is home to JD Classics, a company specializing in recreating and refining the style, character and pedigree of some of the world’s most celebrated period vehicles, both on and off track.  Since the 1980’s the company has grown from an enthusiastic hobby into an extensive enterprise restoring, refining and exporting luxury vehicles worldwide, either mint originals or complete rebuilds. Every project, whether it be a routine service or a Concours restoration, is subject to JD’s unique craftsmanship, technical skill and acute attention to detail.  Period references are used to ensure vehicles are as exact as the day they left the original works. This expertise has been rewarded in recent years with many accolades including winning at the Pebble Beach Concours D’Elegance, in 2009, with an SS 100 3.5 liter.

The facility in Maldon is a “one-stop-shop” for full restorative services staffed by a talented team of 35 specialists. So vehicles need never leave the site before completion, ensuring quality control to a standard very few engineers both in the UK and worldwide can match. Consequently, technical decisions can be made easier and quicker, with the minimum of disruption to the project schedule. Such collaborative working is one of the main reasons they are able to introduce, so effectively, unique innovations and enhancements to classic cars.
