Classic Aston Martin projects and upgrades at RS Williams

RS Williams plays a vital role in enhancing classic Aston Martins with subtle, modern improvements that enhance the driver and passenger experience, consistent with our expectations for a car in terms of acceptable levels of sound and heat intrusion.

Know-How

Heat and sound insulation

In the summer, hot air can make the inside of your car uncomfortable, especially the floor on the passenger side due to the exhaust system. We offer heat barrier technology options that are unnoticeable except for the absence of heat and noise.

Our workshops ensure solid, quiet, and rattle-free door closure, showcasing our commitment to quality. Invest in these areas for a modern and personalised touch that sets your car apart.

Modern upgrades discreet installation

We provide advanced audio-visual and navigation technology with top-notch installation standards, while maintaining the elegance and simplicity of your car's interior.

Our systems can be hidden, ensuring both aesthetic and security advantages. You can have satellite navigation in your DB5 without needing to attach a unit to your windscreen.

Lighting upgrade

Upgrade your Aston Martin with our exclusive gauge lighting upgrade, featuring low power consumption, highly efficient LED lighting in white for better clarity during dusk and nighttime driving. Retain your car's original dimmer switch for full control.

With recent developments in LED technology to enhance the driving experience and safety at night, we are around to offer much-improved LED lighting in keeping with your car’s classic look, but hugely improved night vision for driver, all the while making you more visible and reducing electrical loads on the charging system

Engine build

Our climate-controlled engine building workshop rebuilds engines to the highest standards, including unleaded fuel conversion, full rebuilds, and race development. Our in-house engineers perform component machining, ensuring that the finished product meets our exacting standards. Every unit is tested on our own dynamometer by the same person who built your engine. We offer engine rebuilds with standard upgrades or our 4.2-litre or 4.7-litre conversion for six-cylinder units and our 5.7-litre or 7-litre upgrade, carburetted or fuel-injected, for V8 engines.
