VINTAGE AUTO REPAIR

Welcome to Vintage Auto Repair . Based in West Sussex, Fletcher Gillett and team undertake welding and restoration on all types of classic cars, but primarily Volkswagen campers. Having recently spent many months writing Haynes’ Volkwagen Bay Restoration Manual published in April 2014,  Fletcher is now back at the workshop getting customers’ much loved vehicles back on the road looking their best.
