Ragnar Classic Engineering was formed in 1985 by Keith Gardner and specialised in the maintenance and restoration of prestige sports and GT cars such as Aston Martins, Jaguars and Chevrolet Corvettes. During the ensuing 23 years some 600 road and competition machines passed through its busy workshops, resulting in countless concours wins and victories on the race track.

Prior to taking over Ragnar from his father and forming AutoRevive, David Gardner held long-term positions at Summit Motors (MG Rover specialists), Citygate VW (a Volkswagen main dealer) and DK Engineering (one of the world’s leading independent Ferrari specialists). He is a member of the IMI and an accredited supporter of the GoodGarageScheme.com.
