THE PROCESS
All Gears Considered
Our journey begins with a thorough assessment of each car's every detail. Like exploring the well-worn pages of a cherished book, we evaluate its condition, mechanical components, bodywork, and interior. Skilled artisans and mechanics carefully disassemble the vehicle, documenting every detail to ensure authenticity during reassembly whilst evaluating the condition of components the team starts mapping out the required alterations and modifications.
No Rust for the Wicked
The chassis undergoes hundreds of hours of extensive repairs, addressing rust, dents, and any battle-hardened imperfections the car experienced in its years of service. After undergoing restoration and preparation, the vehicle's body is transferred to our climate-controlled facility. In this environment, our paint specialist meticulously administers anti-corrosive treatments, primer, and modern, high-quality automotive paint.
Upholstery in Motion
Everything comes together at the interior workshop where each car becomes a canvas for our artisans. We cater to our customers with a plethora of options. Fabrics range from the softest, plushest, premium automotive leather used in Ferraris and Jaguars, to exquisite Alcantara and synthetic fabrics for when your adventures require spill-anything protection. AV systems with or without screens and reverse cameras, premium audio, and solutions for sports equipment.

We offer multiple internal combustion engine options on some of our cars. All our engines begin with a thorough investigation by technicians trained by Mercedes-Benz. Customers can preserve the car’s original engine, fully restored and ready to take on new challenges, or upgrade to one that delivers additional torque to escape a landslide… or assassins.
In either case, our engines undergo a deep restoration process that extends the life of each powertrain, using only authorised or compatible parts and spares. When retuning an engine to enhance performance, our technicians are aided by specialist AMG-trained engineers who bring their expertise of building engines for the racetrack to our garage.
