Vintage Car Restoration

A vintage car is not just an old vehicle. It is a piece of family history, an investment that appreciates while you own it, and one of the few machines on the planet that becomes more valuable the more carefully you preserve it. The wrong workshop can do permanent damage in a week. Filler instead of fresh metal. Modern paint that flashes wrong against period chrome. Wiring that swaps original cloth loom for plastic insulation. The right workshop spends the time to do it once, do it right, and do it with respect for what the car was when it left the factory in 1955 or 1962 or 1972.

Colomoto handles vintage restoration as a slow, deliberate craft. We work on Premier Padminis, Ambassador Mark series, classic Fiats, vintage Mercedes, Jaguar XJs from the 1980s, Beetles, Standard Heralds, classic Maruti 800s and even the rare Hindustan Contessa, with the same baseline philosophy. Period correct sheet metal repair before any filler. Wood and trim work where the build calls for it. Original paint colour codes researched and matched, not guessed. Wiring looms restored or rebuilt with correct gauge cloth wrapped wire. Upholstery rebuilt with the right grain and stitching pattern. Every car gets a written restoration plan, photo documentation through every stage, and a transparent timeline you can hold us to.

Our Precise Restoration

  • Period correct sheet metal work, not filler. Vintage panels rust through. The wrong fix is a thick layer of body filler over the rust which lifts in two years. Our metal worker cuts the rust out, fabricates a fresh patch in the original gauge, welds it in, and dresses the seam so the panel reads as original under the paint. Filler is used only as a final feather, never as structure. The actual paint application uses our full panel painting and full body painting process — same sealed booth, same 2K chemistry, matched to the period colour code.
  • Original colour code research and match. Old paint codes are not always on the chassis plate. We dig into the build sheet, archive registrations, original brochures, and known reference cars to identify the exact factory shade. Then we mix it from scratch using modern paint chemistry that visually reads as period correct under daylight, sunlight, and tungsten light.
  • Wiring looms restored, not bypassed. Cloth wrapped wires, original colour codes, original connector blocks, all preserved or rebuilt where they have failed. We do not run a parallel modern loom under the original. The car keeps its electrical character and stays judging show eligible.
  • Trim, badges, and brightwork rechromed and refitted. Pitted chrome bumpers go to a chrome plating specialist for full strip, copper, nickel, chrome cycle. Badges that have lost their enamel are restored. Stainless trim is hand polished, never replaced unless beyond saving. Every piece you see on the car is the piece you started with, just brought back. Where upholstery work is part of the restoration, our car upholstery team rebuilds the interior with the right grain and period stitching pattern.
  • Photo documentation at every stage. You receive a private photo log of your car at every milestone. Stripped to bare body. Metal repair complete. In primer. In colour. Trim refitted. Final detail. The log doubles as proof of provenance for show entries, valuations, and resale.

Our Restoration Bay

  • Long term restoration parking, not a daily bay. A serious vintage restoration takes three to twelve months depending on starting condition. The car gets a dedicated parking spot in our restoration bay, covered between work sessions, and protected from dust, vehicle traffic, and accidental damage.
  • Specialist coordination, transparent on every external job. Some work — like crank grinding, gearbox rebuild, or chrome plating — is handled by trusted external specialists with vintage credentials. We coordinate the logistics, hold quality control on the returned parts, and bill external work at actual cost with no markup. You see every invoice. For owners interested in a hot rod inspired restomod finish, our customise painting service covers bespoke colour and finish options that sit alongside a period correct build.
  • Original spec preservation over modernisation. We default to period correct unless you ask us to deviate. Sealed beam headlamps stay sealed beam unless you specifically request LED conversion. Carburettors stay carburettors unless you ask for fuel injection. The car you get back drives the way it was meant to.
  • Final certification and documentation pack. On handover you receive a binder. Build sheet copies, photo log, every external invoice, paint code certificate, and our written workmanship warranty. The pack travels with the car for life and adds material value at every future sale.
