Classic and Vintage Car Restoration and Repair

Classic and Custom cars run in our blood. Everyone who works at Body & Soul has an unbridled passion for many different parts of the Car Culture both here and abroad, and this fires our work ethic - If a Job's worth doing, It's worth doing properly. No corners cut, no quick fixes here. And there's no substitute for experience: practice makes perfect, right? 
Based in Cardiff, South Wales, we serve the entire UK - and beyond. With our collection and delivery service and a dedicated webcam for customers to log on to check progress you needn't fret about distance. Visitors in person also welcome of course - we'll keep a warm Welsh welcome for you.
Whether YOUR passion is Wild Customs and Hot Rods, or Concours d'Elegance, or Vintage and Classic Racing, we have the skills necessary to help put your dreams on the road....or indeed race track! From a nut and bolt restoration to classic car servicing, maintenance and repairs. 
Although we are an "all-makes" workshop, we do pride ourselves on our Porsche and VW specialisms. Some of us were rebuilding classic VWs and Porsches long before they became classics.

About us:

Many moons ago a naive 20 something opened a VW Specialist workshop in Cardiff due to the local market lacking the levels of care and passion for the older models. Years of hard dedication in the workshop and very little dedication to the day to day running of the business meant that when this 20 something finally had a daughter he felt he needed to go and work for someone else. That didn't work out, provided him with lots of "character-building" moments, and Body & Soul was born out of a yearning to return to what truly motivated the much older chap. As Mark Twain mused:
"Genius has no youth but starts with the ripeness of age & old experience"
