We work with a small number of highly skilled carpenters and coachbuilders who specialise in this craft. We cooperate very closely on planning, budgeting and managing projects and regularly go and inspect progress at various key stages. For minor works and repairs, the woodworker travels to us and carries out repairs in house.

Projects we have completed include  Rolls Royce Phantom II and Bentley 6 1/2 litre, and 1911 Lancia Delta ash frames, and previously, the crafting of the sides, bed, and supports of a 1960s truck – in hardwood!

We also have wooden bucks made by to use as a reference jig. Metal panels are then offered up to the buck, which is an exact replica of the original car as it is made from a digital scan of the car, in this case a Lancia Flaminia Zagato.
