All optical, mechanical and technical components are restored, revised and overhauled. After completion of the work, all vehicles are in perfect condition.

What's a
frame-off restoration?

Frame-off restoration
A “frame-off restoration” is a comprehensive restoration technique that we use on all of our vehicles. The term refers to the process of completely dismantling the vehicle, overhauling and/or replacing every single component in order to return the vehicle to perfect condition. This starts with the disassembly which includes chemical paint stripping, body work and the overwork of every component down to the last screw. In the final step, the vehicles are reassambled again. After a comprehensive test process and various test runs the result is a perfectly restored classic car in condition grade 1 (concours condition).
