Thornley Kelham

Thornley Kelham is a specialist atelier in Cirencester offering classic‑car restoration, coachbuilding and bespoke reimagining. They operate from a purpose-built workshop and work on commissions as well as show cars.

The firm is led by experienced founders and a dedicated workshop team and regularly exhibits at automotive events. Visitors are welcome for project briefings and workshop tours by prior arrangement.

A working restoration and coachbuilding workshop focused on bespoke projects and classic cars.

Look out for:

• Hand-formed metalwork and bespoke body reimagining on display.

• Ongoing restoration projects at different stages of fabrication and assembly.

• Detailed engineering and coachbuilding skills demonstrated by the workshop team.

• Example show cars and recent commission case studies used in client discussions.

Best way to experience it:

Arrange a visit in advance through the company website to combine a tour, meet the team and discuss commissions. Expect a working environment—most visits are conversational and workshop-focused rather than museum-style.

• Visits are by appointment; book ahead via the official website.

• This is a working workshop—areas may be restricted and safety rules apply.

• Not a public museum: access depends on current projects and staffing.

• Located on a business park; allow time for parking and arrival directions.
