JAR restoration of Ferrari 308

A decade ago, however, this car could not even have driven its way out
of a barn. Car restorer Jonathan Rose, of JAR, had been in Finland to
inspect a Ferrari 355 on behalf of his client James Anderson when the
vendor mentioned that there might be a rare 308 available, too. ‘It was a
bloody wreck. It didn’t run, and without taking it apart there was no way
of knowing how much it would cost to fix or whether it might need a
complete engine rebuild,’ recalls Rose. ‘I told James it was a massive
gamble but, if it paid off, he would have something unique.’

A final thank you for all your help over the years that we have enjoyed our association with you all at JAR. It seems rare these days to experience service of such a reliably high standard. You made owning and using our Porsches so easy from the other side of the world.

I’ve stored my Aston with JAR for a number of years and have been delighted with the service throughout. They get everything right. The site is very discrete, as is the on-boarding process, and gives great confidence in security, the location is easy to access from rail and road links and the service is outstanding; nothing is too much trouble. Above all else what I like is the passion for cars; everyone at JAR loves talking about them. The team at the facility can talk in extraordinary detail about every car they’ve come across. If I run out of garage space in the future there is only one place I will be calling.

Just wanted to thank you for the fantastic job you do.
Whenever I have picked a car up – it looks better, feels better and drives better.
Truly amazing.

Nigel Light

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you (and Jonathan) for your services and professionalism over the last couple of years. If I have need in the future for storage, I would not hesitate to contact you or recommend your company.

J A Rose Ltd (JAR Car Storage) were proud winners of the “Restorer of the Year”

At the Octane Historic Motoring Awards on 15th November 2023 held at the Dorchester Hotel in Mayfair, London. We had been shortlisted in this category as part of “Team 3019” for a restoration of a 1965 Shelby 427 Competition Cobra, CSX3019. Directors Jonathan and Anne Rose attended the fabulous black-tie awards dinner, together with project leader Barry Burgess and Ben Nankivell.

The Cobra ‘3019’ was on display at The Beaulieu Motor Museum from 1987 to the end of 2022. Under new ownership the restoration began and was completed in just 10 months for its first event in September 2023, taking part in the prestigious Carroll Shelby celebration parade at the Goodwood Revival. Every component on the car was carefully dismantled and each meticulously returned to its 1966 specification.

We are proud members of the Historic & Classic Vehicles Alliance (HCVA). The HCVA represents the collective voice of the hundreds of SME’s who provide services across the historic and classic vehicle sector, supported by the individuals and enthusiasts who rely on them.
