Visit the Restoration section to see numerous examples of
award winning cars including a Talbot Lagot, winner of 
Best of Show at the Pebble Beach Concours 1997.
Our extensive experience puts us in a unique position
to perform  complex jobs with superb results.
Witness the custom left-hand drive dashes we make for
Silver Clouds and coachbuilt cars We've even changed the
veneer in new cars. A case in point is a Springfield Edition Silver Spur,
in which we changed the veneer  from madrone burl to walnut burl.
