It’s not just classic cars that we get at White’s Bodyworks in West Sussex. We’re a big fan of motorbikes as well, particularly this vintage Moto Guzzi 850-T3 that came to us not too long ago. Understanding different models and being able to source the right replacement parts is an integral part of what we do at White’s.
There’s a reason why classic motorbike enthusiasts come to our garage in West Sussex and that’s because we go that extra mile for our customers. The renovation and repair of this Moto Guzzi bike is a good example and required plenty of expertise and skill.
More About Moto Guzzi 850-T3
Moto Guzzi is probably one of the most well-known and longstanding motorcycle manufacturers in Italy. It was established in 1921 by two airline pilots who had a growing passion for bikes. The 850-T3 came onto the market in the mid-70s and is a high-performance bike with a top speed of 120 mph. It was largely seen as the crowning glory in the Moto Guzzi range at the time.

The VW Golf is perhaps one of the most readily recognisable cars on UK roads today. It’s reliable, sleek and a smooth drive. We handle many jobs at White’s Bodyworks and some are more tricky than others. Sometimes, though, customers are simply looking for a good respray or paint job. It’s one of the easiest ways to add new life to an older car, especially one that’s been damaged through rust, dents or scratches.
Since it first came onto the market back in 1983, the VW Golf was one of the highest selling vehicles in Europe. In fact, between then and the end of production 1992, some 6.3 million units were sold.
Of course, some people say that it’s not yet old enough to be considered a classic car but we beg to differ at White’s Bodyworks in Sussex. This certainly has all the hallmarks a vintage vehicle needs and we’ve been lucky to do work an a few over the years.
The key to repainting any car is taking the appropriate amount of time and paying attention to detail before you get down to the job at hand. When even little things go wrong or the surface isn’t prepared properly, it can show up like the proverbial sore thumb. Get it right, though, and you can make a car like the VW Golf Mk 2 seem as if it’s just come off the showroom floor.
The good news is that this exactly the sort of thing we excel at!

At White’s Bodyworks, we’ve got a long track record of achieving great results. Classic car owners can come to us sure in the knowledge that we have all the equipment and skills on-site that they need.
More About the 1934 Wolseley
The 1934 Wolseley was a pretty lightweight vehicle for its time and came in a variety of saloon and coupe styles. It retailed at a staggering £175 in the 30s and had a 12 hp engine of 75 mph. That made it one of the fastest vehicles on the road at the time.
The Wolseley company itself started up in 1901 but it went into receivership in 1927 before being bought out by Morris Motors. When you watch TV series like Downton Abbey, you’ll always see a Wolseley or two motoring around.

The Mercedes is undoubtedly the daddy of classic cars and a popular choice among serious collectors. This 190E came to us for several repairs, a good deal of restoration and a big respray. This is the type of work that White’s Bodyworks really does excel at and it’s why classic car enthusiasts seek us out.
There’s something substantial about this car which is probably why it was a popular choice with celebrities over the 70s and 80s. Dealing with a car like this, especially when it requires extensive work, is a pretty big project and requires having all the right equipment on site.
More About the Mercedes 190E
The Mercedes 190E was one of the first ‘executive’ style cars to be produced in the 80s and nearly 2 million of them came off the assembly line. It’s a car you still see on the roads today and the engineering makes it a pleasure to drive.
It was also one of the more economical cars to come out of this era. With the comfortable drive, it was perfect for a busy executive but also substantial enough to make a big statement. For such a big car, you might be surprised to know that it had a top speed of 143 mph. That was in part due to its substantial Cosworth engine.

Ask most people to name a motorbike brand and the Harley will figure pretty widely. It’s one of the most recognisable names in the world. The company was created way back in 1903 in Milwaukee in the US and by the early 1920s, it was the largest motorcycle company in the world.
