On the edge of the Lake District, in Barrow-in-Furness, a family that has built a 
reputation for bringing classic cars back from the dead, is back! 
At the heart of the business is Big Irv – master restorer, lifelong petrol head and head of 
a 30-strong team of mechanics, fabricators, panel beaters and painters. Alongside him 
are sons Aaron, Lee and Harvey, with youngest son Max now joining the family business 
and learning what it takes to become the next generation of Classic Car Kings.
These are no ordinary restorations. Every car arrives with its own history, hidden 
problems and seemingly impossible deadlines. Whether they’re rebuilding engines, 
fabricating panels from scratch or hunting down parts that haven’t been made for 
decades, Irv and his sons will do whatever it takes to return these machines to their 
former glory.
For this family, classic cars aren’t just a business. They live them, breathe them – 
and they’re on a mission to save the cars no one else can.
