What Our Clients Are Saying

"Laszlo has performed the most amazing bare metal nuts and bolts restoration on my Jaguar XJS Lister. His talented ability to refabricate from scratch, metal panels that are no longer available has kept the project moving and at a very reasonable cost. It is rare to find a restorer who can weld, fabricate and also strip refurbish the engine and all of the mechanicals on the car. An XJS expert of 50 years said he had to date not witnessed such an extensive restoration of an XJS and to such a high standard of quality. Thank you Laszlo"  Simon Spurrell.
