Carrosserie

Restoring classic cars is all about having a respect for the past and an eye on the future, and that's an ethos that has run through The Carrosserie Company since the very start back in 2001. From humble beginnings, founders Dick & Steve grew the business on the solid foundations of exceptional craftsmanship, unfailing attention to detail and a longstanding commitment to working methodically.

Buying or restoring a classic car isn't an end, it's the start of a long term relationship with a living piece of history with a past, present and future all of its own. If you're ready to start that journey, why not get in touch with the team at The Carrosserie Company?

Whether your classic needs some care and attention to bring it back to life, or a complete overhaul to re-build what has been lost, we can work closely with you to do it justice, and create for you the masterpiece you've always dreamed of.

We specialise in the restoration and conservation of Vintage car, Classic car and Historic car bodywork. Carrosserie is the French word for a car's body, the outer shell that protects it from the elements, as well as the act of building and maintaining that shell. But we believe it's more than that.

While the engine powers a vehicle and the paneling gives a car its distinctive shape and look, it is the coachwork that is the true heart and soul of any design. Truly exceptional coachwork is the kind that goes unnoticed, supporting and enhancing every other aspect of the car from its aesthetics to its performance, but it is often one of the most complex and technical areas of the design that takes skilled craftsmen many hours to make.

Panelling is where craft meets art in any classic car restoration, and much of the success of each build can be traced back to the meticulous effort that our bodywork specialists put into each line and contour of your vehicle.

It all starts with a single sheet, but that thin piece of steel or aluminium quickly takes on a life of its own under the careful eye of our craftsmen, wielding everything from the simplest of tools used by generations of craftspeople before them, all the way to the latest in bodywork technology to get the right results.
