About the role

This apprenticeship combines old-school engineering with cutting-edge technology. You will assist highly skilled engineers with the preservation, maintenance, and restoration of Talbot cars and a variety of cars from the 1900s to the Second World War. You will be taught about the history and development of vehicles, components, and materials, servicing, tuning, transmissions and drivetrains, chassis, suspension, steering, braking, and electrics. It also includes Technical Drawing, welding, business studies, and advanced diagnostics. Previous classic vehicle work experience is useful but not essential. GCSE Grades 4 to 9 (A*-C) in Maths and English are essential. We are also looking for applications from university graduates looking to apply their degree to 'old school' engineering challenges and develop a career in this exciting and dynamic industry.
