OUR STORY
ADO Restoration is a classic restoration and repair business, steeped in heritage and operating from a historic mill in Halifax, West Yorkshire.
The business was founded by Edward Horsman-Mitchell and Paul Fish, a pair with decades of experience and a joint lifelong love of classic cars, especially British classics and Minis. Coming together on a challenging project, the pair realised they’d found a brilliant working partnership and with that, ADO Restoration came to fruition.
OUR MISSION
The team at ADO Restoration recognise that classic cars need an entirely different approach to the modern motors of today’s world. We take a traditional, old-fashioned approach to every classic vehicle entering our workshop.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
"The ADO Restoration team are great, they have almost totally restored my Rover Mini Rio to a car that is in a better condition than it rolled off the production line! With the help of the ADO team, I am able to keep her on the road as my daily driver. They not only gives sound advice on what parts to acquire, but also do their research and go the extra mile. Lovely people who do a great job!"
"I have known Paul for many years, Ed for slightly less and have worked with both of them on joint projects. Each of them was highly skilled in the restoration of classic cars, Minis in particular! Since semi-retirement, I have been able to pass several of my customers onto them. I have done this in full confidence that work would be carried out to a high very standard."
"I’ve known Ed over 10 years and he’s worked on many of my classics! Ed has done all sorts for me including clutches, brakes, fuel systems and other jobs I have needed to keep my classics on the road. Whilst I am happy to do a lot of work on my cars myself, if I need a hand with something a bit more complex, there is nobody else I’d call other than ADO Restoration."
