Tiger Sportscars – Classic Car Restoration, Repairs & Specialist Engineering Featured
Based in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, Tiger Sportscars, home to ERA Sports & Racing Cars, offers restoration, repair and upgrade services for classic, historic and specialist vehicles. Combining restoration experience with its background in sports car manufacturing, the team undertakes everything from individual repairs and interior refurbishment to comprehensive rebuilds.
Over 3,000 Tiger Sports Cars Produced
Alongside its classic car restoration services, Tiger Sportscars has an established history as a British specialist sports car manufacturer. Over the years, the company has produced more than 3,000 Tiger sports cars, building a reputation for lightweight, performance-focused vehicles and specialist engineering. This manufacturing experience complements its restoration work, bringing practical knowledge of vehicle construction, mechanical engineering and performance upgrades to a wide variety of classic and historic cars.
For owners looking to return a cherished classic to the road, refresh its appearance or improve its performance, Tiger provides a broad range of expertise, with particular experience in classic Ford and Lotus models.
Classic Ford & Lotus Expertise
The team’s experience with Ford and Lotus cars stretches back to the early 1970s, covering routine servicing, engine tuning, mechanical rebuilding and complete restorations.
Projects showcased by the company include Ford Anglias, Cortinas, Escorts and a 1965 Lotus Cortina. Its workshop portfolio also extends to vehicles such as the Triumph Vitesse, Bond Bug and early Tiger sports cars, demonstrating experience across a varied selection of classics.
From Individual Repairs to Complete Restoration
Every project has different requirements. Some cars need carefully targeted repairs; others require a complete strip-down and rebuild. Tiger’s services include:
-
Full and partial restorations, with work agreed around the vehicle’s condition and the owner’s plans.
-
Bodywork repairs and repainting, from localised damage to bare-metal preparation and complete resprays.
-
Interior restoration and retrimming, including seats, carpets, hoods and other trim.
-
Engine tuning and reconditioning, alongside engine replacement and performance upgrades.
-
Mechanical refurbishment, including work on brakes, suspension, steering and drivetrain components.
-
Rechroming, servicing, valeting and MOT requirements.
Restoration or Carefully Chosen Upgrades
Tiger’s published projects illustrate both approaches: preserving a car’s original specification and introducing modifications to suit how its owner wants to drive it. Its Ford Anglia work, for example, has included engine conversions, five-speed gearboxes, upgraded braking and revised suspension. By contrast, an early Super Six restoration focused on retaining the car’s original character, including its existing trim. This breadth of experience gives owners scope to discuss anything from a faithful restoration to a classic with improved performance and usability.
