Romania's first and most important professional classical car restoration workshop — 24 years of ground-up restorations, reproductions, and concours-level craftsmanship.
Labour is €60 an hour plus VAT, billed monthly on the hours actually worked; workshops of comparable standard in Germany, Switzerland and the UK charge €85–130 an hour, and a full restoration is mostly labour.
Illustrative arithmetic at the published rates, before VAT. Not a quote.
Bodywork, mechanical, electrical and interior work, plus zinc plating, paint and transport. We don't subcontract structural work. Every discipline runs from our Moara Vlăsiei workshop, so one team is accountable from day one to delivery.
