My passion has always been cars; in particular bodywork. After migrating from Italy in 1970, I completed my apprenticeship in panel beating and panel fabrication. During my panel beating apprenticeship I had an opportunity to learn about panel restoration and to use a wheeling machine but on completing my apprenticeship, I was unable to find a job in that field to further my career. In order to develop my skills I sought out a range of different craftsmen in this field who shared their vast knowledge and experience with me. In the past 28 years the business has evolved into one specialising in the restoration and panel fabrication of all classic, vintage, veteran and prestige cars.
