The best restoration shops in the world.
A nice article to agree or disagree with over a cup of coffee.
States centric but the UK does get a couple of mentions.

Re: The best restoration shops in the world.
By definition ‘restoration’ means returning the damaged article to as near original looking as possible, not adding or subtracting bits to embellish.
Slurp of coffee, over to you,

Re: The best restoration shops in the world.
I have to agree with Mike I had to scroll a long way before I found a resto shop. Singer FFS.
As for Paul Stephens is Porsche in the UK!!!
The opening statement seems to stay he has been doing it the longest. Isn't that AutoFarm? Who I've also never used

Paul Stevens used to rely on Clark and Carter (RR & Bentley restoration) for all metal work, paint, trim and mechanical (except engines).

For me, an article about concours workshops loses points when the journalist can't spell concours.

Re: The best restoration shops in the world.
