K&T Vintage Sports Cars is an independent restoration and repair shop at 6584 Ruch Road in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in the Lehigh Valley. Owner Ken Beck has worked on British cars and Corvettes since high school, and one profile of the shop says roughly 95 percent of its work is British.

History

According to the shop's About page, Beck collected, raced and worked on cars from his home for more than 40 years before opening a full-time shop in 2006. In 2018 the business moved to a 14,400-square-foot building on a 3.5-acre lot at its current address, which the shop says it owns. The new space includes offices, a conference room and a customer showroom.

What they restore

The shop's focus is classic British sports cars: MG, Austin-Healey, Triumph and Jaguar, along with Mini, Morgan, Sunbeam, Rolls-Royce and Bentley. It also works on classic Corvettes and street rods and says it welcomes other American and foreign classics. Porsche and DeLorean appear among the cars it has handled.

Work offered

The shop describes a range from routine maintenance to bodywork and concours-class restoration. Services it lists include:

• Full restoration of classic and antique cars
• Bodywork and paint
• Mechanical repair and engine rebuilding
• Upholstery and interior work

The shop's website presents a mismatched security certificate, so its pages would not load directly during our research. Details here come from search-engine copies of the shop's own pages and are worth confirming.

Projects and awards

The shop says some of its restorations have been national concours-class award winners and shows finished cars on its restorations page. We could not verify specific events or titles, so none are listed here.
