Each restoration project is an odyssey, a transformation that reverently returns these iconic machines to their original grandeur.
We have a substantial amount of experience inspecting and restoring classic Alfa Romeo’s and Ferrari’s, plus stunning Lancia’s.
Bodywork and Paint Restoration
The journey often begins with the Italian car’s exterior, where our skilled technicians meticulously repair and restore the bodywork. Every dent, rust spot, and imperfection is addressed, ensuring the frame’s integrity. The painting process then follows, utilising period-correct paint and techniques to match the original hues and finishes, resulting in a flawless, mirror-like surface that echoes the car’s initial splendor.
Interior Restoration
The interior of these classic cars is a testament to Italian craftsmanship. Alficina restorers pay close attention to the upholstery, woodwork, and metal trim, often sourcing rare materials to match the original specifications. From the stitching on the leather seats to the polish on the dash, every detail is crafted to recreate the luxurious and sophisticated ambiance of your Alfa Romeo, Ferrari or Lancia’s heyday.
Suspension and Brakes
To ensure that the driving experience matches the car’s aesthetic appeal, the classic suspension and braking systems can be overhauled. This not only improves safety but also enhances the car's handling, providing a driving experience that is both authentic and exhilarating. We have experience with classic retro fits or modern replacements to suit your specific requirements.
Engine and Mechanical Overhaul
The heart of any classic Italian car is its engine. Our specialists meticulously disassemble, clean, and inspect each component. Worn or damaged parts are either restored, replaced with authentic, period-correct components or modern versions to suit you. The goal is to enhance performance and reliability while preserving the original engineering and character of the engine.
Electrical Systems
The restoration process also involves updating and repairing the electrical systems. This includes the careful rewiring of the vehicle, ensuring that all components, from the headlights to the dashboard instruments, function as they did when the car first rolled off the production line.
