Glen Woolway
Classic Mechanic
There's not a classic problem this man can't fix. Often described as a magician, he has a knack for solving issues others can't. With a soft spot for Ford Sidevalves and a well-known love for gravy (but honestly, who doesn't love a bit of gravy?), he brings passion, skill, and a touch of humour to every project.

“I couldn’t be more pleased with the work done on my 100E Sidevalve engine. It was running rough for months, but after the rebuild, it purrs like a kitten! The attention to detail was fantastic, and it’s clear that Glen has a real passion for these cars. Cheers Glen, Highly Recommended!”
JOHN.H – Ford 100E

“My classic Citroen was stalling on every drive, and I couldn’t figure out what was going wrong. After a thorough inspection, Glen found the issue, a clogged fuel line; and he got it fixed in no time. The car is now running smoothly again, and I’m so grateful for his expertise and quick turnaround. Highly recommend for anyone with a classic car problem!”
SARAH.W – Citroen 2CV

“I brought my old Zephyr 4 to Glen as I couldn’t get the engine to turn over. and once Glen sorted the issue out it would only fire as you let go of the ignition key. Glen quickly found out the issue to be a missing feed to the coil in the start position and a faulty earth, 3 mechanics failed to fix it before I brought it to Glen!”
Michael T. – Zephyr 4
