What we restore
Classic cars and vintage trucks
“I started out of passion and never stopped. Every car that comes in here I treat as my own: I take it apart, I understand it, and I give it back the way it was the day it left the factory.”
The workshop
Hands, patience and a few secrets.
Bartolomeo “Mimmo” Bongioanni has been restoring classics for many years. Panels rebuilt by hand, mechanics overhauled piece by piece, interiors made to measure. No assembly line: one car at a time.
