Goldsmith & Young Ltd
Preserving the Legend. Perfecting the Drive. World-Class Post-War Aston Martin Restoration & Engineering.
Concours-Level Restoration
Restoring a classic Aston Martin is a journey of precision and passion. We specialise in body-off, nut-and-bolt restorations for post-war models, including the DB2, DB4, DB5, DB6, and DBS.
Specialist Servicing & Maintenance
Your Aston Martin requires specialist attention to maintain its performance and value. Unlike general garages, we understand the nuances of the twin-cam straight-six and V8 engines. We offer comprehensive servicing plans tailored to your vehicle’s usage—whether it’s a museum piece or a grand tourer. From routine oil changes and carburettor balancing to MOT preparation and intricate electrical work, our in-house developed methods ensure your car remains reliable and ready for the road. We can also arrange fully insured transport and storage for our UK and international clients.
Race Preparation, Tuning & Upgrades
With a rich history in historic racing, we know how to extract the maximum potential from your Aston Martin. Our engine shop builds power units to full race specifications, offering substantial torque and horsepower gains without compromising durability. Beyond the engine, we offer discreet handling upgrades, braking enhancements, and gearbox conversions that transform the driving experience for modern roads or competitive track days. Looking to compete? We provide full trackside support and driver instruction.
Showroom & Brokerage
Our showroom features a curated selection of the finest post-war Aston Martins available on the market. Every vehicle we sell has been rigorously inspected and, in many cases, maintained or restored by our own team, offering you total peace of mind regarding provenance and condition. Don’t see what you are looking for? We utilise our extensive global network to source specific models for clients, from restoration projects to race-ready examples.

Specialising in the golden era of the 1950s to 1970s, we are more than just restorers; we are racers, engineers, and purists. Whether you require a concours-standard restoration for a DB5, routine servicing for your V8, or track-focused race preparation, our purpose-built workshop ensures your vehicle receives the finest care available. We don’t just restore cars; we breathe new life into them, ensuring they drive as beautifully as they look.

Word of Mouth:
Proven on the Road
The greatest testament to our craftsmanship is the loyalty of our clients. Behind every restored DB5 and race-tuned V8 is a satisfied owner. Explore a selection of feedback from those who trust Goldsmith & Young with their most prized automotive investments.
“After seeing several ‘restored’ cars that didn’t quite look right, I brought my DB5 to Goldsmith & Young. The level of craftsmanship is simply on another level. From the panel gaps to the factory-correct leather, they haven’t just restored a car—they’ve preserved a piece of history. It was a pleasure to visit the workshop and see the progress at every stage.”
“Goldsmith & Young transformed my DB4 into a true driver’s car. The engine build they provided has given me the torque and reliability I needed for historic rallying without losing the car’s original character. Their race preparation is second to none; they understand how these cars should perform at the limit, not just how they should look on a lawn.”
“It’s rare to find a specialist that treats your car as if it were their own. I’ve used Goldsmith & Young for routine servicing and minor upgrades on my V8 Vantage for over a decade. They are honest, transparent about costs, and their technical knowledge of post-war Astons is exhaustive. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with the keys.”
“I recently purchased a DB6 that had been maintained by Goldsmith & Young for its previous owner. The documentation and the sheer quality of the mechanical work made the decision easy. Even the third-party inspector noted that the ‘G&Y’ stamp in the history file was a guarantee of excellence. The car drives flawlessly.”
“Clearly a wealth of knowledge and a passion to get it right.”
“Nice friendly staff”
