Selected work

Portfolio

Each project documented from the first assessment to the final drive. The process is the story.

01

912R

R is for Ruggine: Italian for rust. The car arrived heavily corroded and long neglected. The scope of the restoration expanded as the work progressed, and eventually it covered everything: chassis, engine, gearbox, brakes, suspension, bodywork, interior, every fitting and detail.

The 912 has been rebuilt with fidelity to its 1960s character, with considered improvements to performance. The goal was not a concours reconstruction but a car built to be driven, perhaps better than it ever was.

Work is ongoing. Expected completion: 2026.

Harley Davidson

A homage to where it all started. Umberto began his career working on motorcycles, and this Harley restoration and custom build draws on those early years. The paintwork and detailing represent the standard we hold on every project, whatever the vehicle.
