THE Fiat Strada advert - Handbuilt by robots.

Compulsory viewing for us now we are restoring a Fiat Strada 130TC. We just can't figure out how the robots missed so much rustproofing!

Fiat Strada 130 TC full body restoration


A personal favourite. Is rusty in unusual places and not in the expected!

A testament to our skill, is the careful way we have gone about "blasting" the rust of the car. The process took much longer than normal, but the lack of rippled panels that most people would have created is very satisfying.


Great to see a "hot hatch" from the '80's being restored to its former glory.

Fiat 600 full body restoration

Who could not love this cute little car? Along with the Fiat Strada 130TC we are currently restoring, it has surprisingly rusted everywhere except the places you would expect. Perfect battery tray for example.

Bugatti Brescia paint refurbishment

A delighted client sent us in some pictures of his Bugatti Brescia that we had just repainted. Apparently he collected it from us and went on a road trip around France more or less straight away.

Some quotes and pictures below given to us by our satisfied client:  
"Have a picnic of rillettes as you head south"
"Soaking up the miles and the sunshine."
"Be sure to end up at the Domaine des Hauts de Loire in Onzain where there are 2 Michelin stars to enjoy in luxury."

Andy Mitchell our owner goes racing......and does not come last!

.....he came second to last after a valiant race up through the field to second place that was bought to a halt through a mechanical failure. 
Vows to get his team to prepare car in future!
