1950s Dual-Ghia D500 undergoing restoration, prepping for paint

Concours is a coachbuilding and restoration atelier built around one rule: every car in the shop belongs to the person who is going to keep it. We don’t buy, flip, or broker cars — we restore privately-owned collector cars for their owners, from a full body-off rebuild down to a single mechanical system, and we document the work at the level a real judging sheet or a real buyer’s pre-purchase inspection actually demands.

We publish the real methodology behind our own standards on this site — see the 100-point judging calculator, the numbers-matching explainer, and the restoration timeline estimator on the home page — because we think an owner who understands why a panel gap costs points, or why a casting date has to precede an assembly date, is an owner who will notice the difference between a shop that understands concours standards and one that just says it does.

Every project is torn down, tagged, and photographed before a single part comes off, and every reassembly step is checked against that record — the same discipline whether the car is headed to a judged concours field or simply back into an owner’s garage as a driver they trust.

We take on full body-off restorations, mechanical & chassis rebuilds, cosmetic and detail work, and concours-show preparation for cars that were restored elsewhere and need to be closed out to judging standard before an event.
