Classic car restoration in Italy for Swiss clients
We follow you from a distance too: we collect the vehicle, restore it in the workshop and bring it back to Switzerland, with photos of every stage and costs always clear.
In short
Collezione Bongioanni restores classic cars and vintage trucks of Swiss clients in Italy. Collection in Switzerland can be organised; during the work we send a continuous photo book and updates on work and costs, with no unapproved extras; at the end we bring the vehicle back.

Why a workshop in Italy
You see everything
The photo book lets you follow the restoration as if you were in the workshop.
Transparent costs
Detailed quote and updates; no extra costs without approval.
Organised pick-up
We collect and return the vehicle when needed.
Classic cars
Italian, European and American, full or conservation.
Trucks too
Lorries, vans and vintage working vehicles.
Paperwork
We help organise the formalities with your forwarder.
The photo book
Every stage is documented: dismantling, metalwork, paint, upholstery, reassembly. You receive updates while we work and, at the end, the complete story of the restoration, valuable for the history and value of the vehicle too.
Paperwork and customs
Export and re-import of the vehicle
A vehicle leaving Switzerland to be restored and then returning needs customs formalities: a procedure for processing abroad (outward processing) is usually used. We coordinate with you and your customs agent.
The exact rules should always be checked with the agent before departure.
