ABOUT OVERTON VEHICLE OVERHAULS
Overton Vehicle Overhauls has been a family business since 1968, passed down through three generations with the same passion for getting things right. Based in Essex, our roots lie in Rolls-Royce and Bentley, from routine servicing to major works, we have experience across the full range, from the earliest 1900s Silver Ghosts and 20hp right through the golden decades to the 2000s Bentley Continental GTs. But our love of classics doesn't stop there — if it's got history, we love to work on it. From a 1904 Humberette that's done the London to Brighton Run more times than we can count, to a Panhard Levassor , Avion's Voison, Jaguar E-Types, Aston Martins, and everything in between — from pre-war icons and golden era British sports cars to beloved European classics and 4x4s.
Whether your car needs mechanical work, body repairs, or just a proper once-over from someone who knows what they're looking at, we'd love to help.
Our Services – What We Do
Appraisal
Thinking of buying a classic? Bring it to us and we'll give it a proper once-over — a full report on condition, what work it needs, and an honest estimate of the cost.
Restoration
We take real pride in restoration work, and it shows — our customers' cars have picked up class wins at both the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts' Club Concours and the Bentley Drivers' Club Concours, from Phantom IIIs and Silver Dawns to vintage WO Bentleys. Whatever the project, we'll bring it back to its best.
Body repairs
From a small dent to a full respray, we've got the experience to make it right. We've completed full body rebuilds on everything from Aston Martin DB6s to Bentley S2s and Rolls-Royce Phantom VIs — no job too big.
MOT,Maintenance & Servicing
We service and repair all Rolls-Royce and Bentley models, from the earliest Silver Ghosts right up to the latest Continental GTs, with full diagnostic software on hand. MOTs with pre mot done by us. As members of the Rolls-Royce and Bentley Specialists' Association, we've also got access to specialist parts and trimming when needed.
Car sales
We often have pre-owned Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars for sale — get in touch to see what's currently available, or let us know what you're after.
Collection & delivery
Local or overseas, we'll sort it — we've arranged collections and deliveries as far afield as Singapore and Hong Kong over the years.
The Overtons
Three generations of Overton's work here — Ted started it back in 1968, and were lucky enough to be backed by a small, team who've been with us for years.
Here is a picture of all three of us on Teds SR5 2005 and us in 2024.
