Title: what are the top restoration outfits in Europe?
Post by: Erics on May 10, 2015, 18:11:16

I looked at a variety of places in Germany and came across:

Rosier.de

sl-classics.com

Anyone else worth looking at?

I met a gentleman in London running a company called spider veloce who had a few pagoda's restored in Poland.

I saw a few pictures (did not see in the flesh) and the result was pretty amazing. He argued that it was the best place (value for money) to get a ground up restoration done for a pagoda. Apparently, a budget starting with a rolling chassis and engine is in the region of £50-60k in Poland. Would be at least double in the uk. Any views on this?

Kienle are probably the best. Maybe the best anywhere. They're almost certainly the most expensive... ::)

My company did some CAD drawings specifically for fitting a Pagoda to a rotisserie for www.colinferns.com

If his work is anything like the rotisserie that my designs were done for then he does the best work.

Erics,
I think that I know which shops you are referring to. Just as a side remark, the cost for that level of restoration is always depending on who's asking. last year I would say that your budget is crafted towards Western European clients, but locally the process would be 30-40% less. This year I am not sure anymore...
