Now on the market, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a respected business with a stellar reputation in the classic car and motorcycle restoration community.
Located in Gloucester, this business is a specialized carburettor service and restoration company catering to classic car and motorcycle owners. Their expert team refurbishes around 750 carburettors annually, bringing decades of hands-on experience with models from the 1920s through the 1990s. Equipped with specialized tools, trusted suppliers, and comprehensive knowledge, their carburettor specialists are skilled in restoring a broad range of models, addressing even the most complex issues.
The business also specializes in advanced cleaning techniques, including Ultrasonic Cleaning and Vapour Blasting, to ensure each component meets exacting standards. Understanding that every restoration has unique goals—whether for everyday use or as a Concours showpiece—the team offers tailored restoration options suited to each client’s needs.
Primarily operating as a mail-in service, the business operates nationwide in the UK, with some additional demand from Europe and the USA.
The business is operated by the owner, who is hands-on, along with two part-time subcontractors. The owner is looking to retire and pass on this profitable and highly regarded business. This would suit somebody in the motor industry looking to expand or move into a new profitable sector
The business specialises in the restoration and servicing of carburettors for classic and vintage cars. Established in 2017, it operates from a well-equipped workshop in Gloucester.
The service includes ultrasonic cleaning, vapor blasting, and other specialist processes, some of which are outsourced to trusted external companies. The company handles approximately 750 carburettors per year, emphasizing the highest quality service to meet the exacting standards of classic car enthusiasts. Clients are primarily from the UK, with occasional international orders. The business has a strong reputation in the industry, supported by over 100 5-star Google reviews, and enjoys a healthy mix of repeat and new customers.
There is significant potential for growth in this niche market. The business could be scaled by increasing marketing efforts, such as expanding online presence, leveraging social media, and utilising targeted advertising to reach a broader audience of classic car owners.
There is also scope to hire additional staff to handle more orders, which could increase capacity and revenue. Given the nature of the service, the business is potentially relocatable, allowing it to operate from any suitable location with the necessary workshop facilities. Expansion of services to include other types of classic car components or related restoration services could also provide new revenue streams. With a solid foundation and strong industry contacts, the business is well-positioned for continued success under new ownership.
