Low mileage can mean one of two things: neglect or a potential gem. When the car arrived, we were stunned to find that it was in amazing condition as it was clearly very sparingly used and had evidently been properly garaged. The overall condition was very good but the car needed some work – mainly recommissioning and servicing. We undertook a 24,000-mile service, replaced the hydraulic system accumulators, replaced the brake hoses and brake pads, fitted new tyres, replaced the exhaust balance pipe and sorted a host of minor age-related electrical issues as well as upgrading the air conditioning system. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f855b7dd3d5132d69998ac6/6947cbd8-63ae-4e23-b1be-706935bbdb8f/IMG_3596.jpg Blog - The Spirit of Auction - After the work, the car drove and performed well. “It felt eery driving it as it reminded me of how these cars drove when they were new… a definite time warp experience.” says founder Ray Hillier. The car had been the victim of a car wash over the years and the paint was consequently swirly. We suspected that the paint was original and, in conjunction with GM Detailing, undertook a patch test. This polish test confirmed that the paint was indeed original and we took it upon ourselves to see if we could get the car back to showroom condition. The body was polished, the coachlines hand-painted and the interior had some very minor Connolising repairs undertaken. Suffice to say, the outcome exceeded our expectations. https://hillierhill.co.uk/blog/bdc-new-zealand monthly 0.5 2023-04-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f855b7dd3d5132d69998ac6/5478bc3c-4f74-45a3-8c2d-70e042831ff0/90f6c09a-f33f-4ed3-b646-db8389130e0c.JPG Blog - BDC Rally New Zealand - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f855b7dd3d5132d69998ac6/f8c613e1-5414-4232-8412-ec7103324121/e2050d6f-4825-4792-8a30-6f79f3581605.JPG Blog - BDC Rally New Zealand - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f855b7dd3d5132d69998ac6/d4b11bfd-5490-400f-bdad-9b4a958b1c68/e6e1c393-6035-4525-b140-80a387a574c1.JPG Blog - BDC Rally New Zealand - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f855b7dd3d5132d69998ac6/6c4f8d82-f30c-4b76-9851-8ccb8b51757f/4bd4739a-bd52-4d35-98e3-f232d0c530e9.JPG Blog - BDC Rally New Zealand - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://hillierhill.co.uk/home daily 1.0 2025-06-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f855b7dd3d5132d69998ac6/1618815736075-WVFDBKK27191NR2F24SJ/2021_HillierHill_0571.JPG Home Our founders, Ray Hillier and Tony Hill, served their apprenticeships at the Rolls-Royce Service Centre in Hythe Road, London in the 1970s.

With over forty years in the trade, we have perfected the art of prioritisation and are therefore able to establish early on what is essential, beneficial and desirable. With two in-house electricians, a team of talented mechanics and a collection of trusted craftsmen within the trade, we offer our clients specialist and bespoke services to include panel beating, fabrication, chassis repairs, paintwork, coachlining, glass replacement, wood refurbishment, coach trimming, and chrome and metal plating. This level of craftsmanship has led a number of our previously restored vehicles to become concours prize winners, and many are now in the hands of significant private collections. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f855b7dd3d5132d69998ac6/1620060575079-LGTK4LRA25QXFJVM9VCE/2021_HillierHill_0328.JPG Restoration - Restorations are a journey which should be unique to us, to you and to your car. Entering into a restoration project involves entering into a partnership with us, which we understand requires the utmost level of trust. At every stage of the journey, the team will guide and advise you openly to help you make the right decisions for your car, as well as offering support and expertise, and working with you to achieve – and hopefully exceed – your objectives for you and your car. To us, the journey is equally important as the final result. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f855b7dd3d5132d69998ac6/1620060683431-3LSFES1ZL80RLOW5UL8C/2021_HillierHill_0185.JPG Restoration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f855b7dd3d5132d69998ac6/1620060650286-O6XWJMEGIQHBZYVJR7FL/2021_HillierHill_0548.JPG Restoration https://hillierhill.co.uk/contact daily 0.75 2025-07-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f855b7dd3d5132d69998ac6/1618929312314-PZGQCX7PKCX5IFG2NYXX/2021_HillierHill_0646.JPG Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f855b7dd3d5132d69998ac6/1620061913797-C95W2FJLWNT4FK73ZLSI/2021_HillierHill_0515.JPG Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f855b7dd3d5132d69998ac6/1618929231086-E0RE6Y6LWHM1XRVYPJDV/2021_HillierHill_0689.JPG Contact https://hillierhill.co.uk/sales daily 0.75 2021-05-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f855b7dd3d5132d69998ac6/1620060435998-YN2XAY4VXMLFPXVL7IZU/2021_HillierHill_0033.JPG Sales https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f855b7dd3d5132d69998ac6/1620159287382-D2SKGYN8ETBRRZMPM0K4/2021_HillierHill_0347.JPG Sales
