Restoration consultancy & project management

Preserve its character.
Shape its future.

From an initial condition assessment to the final handover, a coordinated restoration process with the owner’s objectives at its centre.

Restoration for certification

Factory specification.
Established before work begins.

When certification is the objective, factory specification must inform the restoration brief from the outset. A beautifully finished car can still require substantial corrective work if its configuration, components or supporting evidence do not meet the relevant programme.

Before dismantling

Record what survives.

Commission a baseline inspection and photographic record. Establish the original build specification where evidence permits, identify later alterations and agree how original finishes, markings and materials should be preserved.

Before ordering

Specify the correct work.

Confirm the proposed treatment of engine and drivetrain, body construction, paint, interior trim, instruments and equipment. Identify original, replacement and reproduction parts explicitly; seek the assessing authority’s guidance where acceptability is uncertain.

During restoration

Control the detail.

Source the work through the Scuderia Milano Specialist Team, coordinate technical dependencies and review evidence at agreed milestones. Changes to scope, cost or specification return to the owner for approval before implementation.

Before assessment

Verify the complete result.

Arrange independent or marque specialist checks against the agreed brief. Reconcile the completed car with its photographic and component records, coordinate any corrections and prepare the file for the authorised assessment.

Factory original and period competition specification can differ.

A car intended for historic competition may need a different documented configuration from a road car pursuing factory authenticity certification. We resolve that objective early with the relevant specialists and authorities, before committing to irreversible work.

Inside the restoration process

The bare shell
reveals the truth.

Once a car is stripped, construction details, previous interventions and structural condition become visible. We turn that evidence into a controlled photographic baseline before metalwork, protection and assembly proceed.

Genuine reference photography arranged as a non-identifying editorial montage. Identifying areas are excluded from the crops; no vehicle detail has been generated or reconstructed.

Our role

The right work.
By the right specialists.

A restoration begins with choices: preservation or renewal, originality or intended use, the sequence of work and the standard of finish. We help define a clear scope, establish a realistic programme and source the work through our Scuderia Milano Specialist Team.

We coordinate quotations, schedules, reporting and quality reviews across the specialists involved. Significant discoveries and proposed changes are brought back to the owner for a documented decision, keeping scope, budget and the car’s identity in view.

A considered process

Clarity at every stage.

01

Define the ambition

Assess the car and agree preservation priorities, scope and decision responsibilities.

02

Coordinate the work

Manage the specialist programme, reporting and approval of material changes.

03

Document the result

Coordinate completion checks and create an organised restoration record.

From craft to completion

A coherent record of the work.

Craftsmanship, coordinated.

Metalwork, mechanical systems, paint and trim require different skills. Their sequence matters as much as their individual quality.

Completion, examined.

Agreed inspections, finish checks and a documented handover bring the work back to the original project brief.

Let’s begin with
your car and your ambitions.
