The disciplines of the atelier

Our Services

Every craft a fine motor car requires, practised under one roof and to a single standard. Choose a discipline below, or speak with us about a complete restoration.

Restoration & Coachwork

Full Nut & Bolt Restoration

A complete, photographed strip-down to bare metal and back to better-than-new.

Coachbuilding & Panel Fabrication

Compound-curved panels formed by hand on the English wheel, the old way.

Bodywork & Lead Loading

Period-correct metal finishing and traditional lead-loaded seams.

Sympathetic Recommissioning

Waking a long-stored or barn-find car safely, without erasing its patina.

Finishing & Interiors

Hand-Applied Paint & Coachlining

Deep, hand-flatted finishes and gold coachlines drawn by a steady brush.
