We specialize in the complete restoration of European vehicles manufactured before 1979 -- primarily Mercedes-Benz. Our work is defined by an uncompromising attention to detail and a deep respect for the original engineering.
Interior and exterior efforts are performed over months. Our average work effort is approximately 1,500 hours per vehicle. Every component is evaluated, restored or replaced with correct-specification parts, and documented throughout the process.
We do not modify vehicles to suit contemporary tastes. Our goal is preservation -- returning each vehicle to the condition it left the factory, or as close to that standard as the surviving material allows. Where original parts are unavailable, we fabricate replacements using appropriate materials and techniques.
