Classic cars

The cars that wrote the history of the automobile, returned to their original condition.

Full restorations of classic cars: body, mechanics, paint, interiors. We respect the chassis number, the historic documentation and the factory specifications. Every intervention is guided by the principle of period faithfulness: the car must once again be recognisable as it was designed.

Cars in this chapter

A classic car is not a body with an engine in it: it's a historical document. That is why we work in full respect of the chassis number, factory documentation and historic homologations. A car that leaves the atelier remains eligible for the major Italian and European historic events.

"A well-restored classic is a document. It must be treated as such."

Frequent questions
What does 'period faithfulness' mean?
Strict respect of colours, materials, components, torque values and details specified by the factory for that chassis in that period.

When the owner requests it for intensive use, yes. Always with reversible, documented interventions.
Does the car remain eligible for historic events?
Yes. We work in respect of FIVA and equivalent national standards.
