We specialize in the complete restoration of European vehicles built before 1979, primarily Mercedes-Benz. We pay close attention to detail and work to keep the original engineering intact.
Interior and exterior work runs over several months and averages about 1,500 hours per vehicle. We evaluate every component, restore it or replace it with correct-specification parts, and document the process as we go.
We do not modify vehicles to suit contemporary tastes. Our goal is preservation. We return each vehicle to the condition it left the factory, or as close as the surviving material allows. Where original parts are unavailable, we fabricate replacements using appropriate materials and techniques.
