1996 Jaguar XJS-C V12 Convertible

I commissioned a complete rebuild of an XK120 Jaguar that started 3 1/2 years ago.  It was probably not the best idea to take a carcass of a car the had been substantially destroyed in a fire, and restore it to a beautiful example of the marque, but that’s what we did. I told Jeff that he and I learned some really valuable lessons along the way - we modified the car by adding a newly manufactured, original design spec frame, adding a 5 speed transmission, EFI fuel injection in a 4.2 liter motor that was totally rebuilt, and disc brakes. The car looks entirely original, including original color paint and interior. These modifications entailed significant challenges, and cost more than the car is worth, but it is exactly what I wanted. Jeff and his entire crew did tremendous work on this project, and the skill and professionalism show in the final product. A good example of Jeff’s personal investment in the car is the fabrication of a significant and complex piece of one of the front fenders.   Jeff took the piece and built it as part of a “metal bending” course that he helped instruct, and basically, the time that he and the course attendees put into the fender was gratis. As the car, with creeping elegance, ended up being much more costly to produce that either of us expected, Jeff reached a point when the heavy final and painful 5% of the job had to be done (basically, sorting out all the final details, fixing the faults that inevitably show up at the end as you try to make sure everything works well together), and didn’t bill for that portion of the work.  So Jeff and I both invested heavily in this project, and I end up with a great car, and all he get’s is a nice review!  But well deserved by Jeff and his crew.

Outstanding work and easy to work with.  I have had the occasion to use Jeff and his team at It's Alive a few times and with each time it was a great experience.  I like to do the work on my Triumphs, but I am still a novice so for certain things I need help.  My latest project was to repair and reinforce the differential mounts for my 73 TR6.  Jeff's team replaced one mount entirely and reinforced both front Diff Mounts.  They welded them in place and prepped/painted them to a point that they looked factory done.  The price was reasonable and the work was done in a day.
I would not hesitate to take any of my cars to Jeff and his team at It's Alive

I recently purchased a European vehicle from It's Alive! Automotive and Mr Mike Dyer was the salesman. My experience with the dealer was so great and wonderful. Mike was so considerate and willing to help he provided a virtual tour of 1967 Citroen and went over the details. He contacted the owner several times to make sure I had all the necessary information. I also want to thank him for the delivery of the vehicle to my house in Florida it was flawless. I’m sure he will treat all his customers the same way. Thank you Mike for the wonderful service. God bless you.

I recently purchased a 1965 MGB from Its Alive. The buying experience was 100% solid. Mike Dyer is not a “car salesman,”rather he’s an extremely knowledgeable and transparent partner to work with. The IAA facility is top notch. I can’t say enough about how seriously these folks take Customer Care. If you’re looking for a classic car to purchase or get full-scale restoration services, I encourage you to choose the team at Its Alive Automotive! I’m glad I did.
