Restoration

Bodywork, trim and long-term rebuilds. Restoration means a car is with a workshop for months rather than days, which makes custody insurance and storage conditions worth reading before anything else.

Workshops offering restoration

What restoration involves

  • A car in one place for months rather than days
  • Bodywork, trim, mechanical rebuild, or all three
  • Staged approval, so cost is agreed as the work is uncovered
  • Photographic record of what was found and what was done

Compiled by the register from what workshops on it are asked for. Not advice about any individual car, and not a specification any workshop has agreed to.

What to ask before you book

  • The custody insurance limit, and whether it covers the car at its value
  • Where the car sleeps while it waits, and whether that space is climate-held
  • What is subcontracted, to whom, and whether you are told first
  • Whether the service record stays unbroken through the work

Verified listings answer several of these on the page already — the ones confirmed at inspection are marked as checked rather than stated.

Chassis worked on

Counted from the listings here. A model with no workshop beside it is not listed — the register does not fill gaps it has not checked.
