The art of car restoration
We restore life to vintage jewels with passion and craftsmanship
New additions to enhance what already exists.
At Classic Radica, we consider restoration to involve conserving the existing and adding something new and exclusive, to give life to something unique. It is the resurrection that prevails over birth, through slow and meticulous phases of redesign, material processing and attention to detail.
With a team of technical experts and highly experienced artisans, we give new luster and a second life to your cars' interiors, vintage and modern, to make them shine again like real jewels.
An enduring tradition
We offer you all our knowledge, passion and love for classic cars, gained from over 60 years' experience in woodworking and car restoration.
A profession handed down from generation to generation by woodworkers, combined with the passion for classic cars, has generated an extraordinary synergy which creates a unique technique for restoring solid wood and veneered parts.
This technique takes inspiration from high-end furniture, completely Made in Italy, and is applied to restoring the wooden details of the cars that have made motoring history, taking care of every detail and bringing to light finishes and styles from other times.
Long experience in restoring wood and burl and deep knowledge of the vintage car sector enables us to offer both an "original" restoration service, safeguarding the parts still in good condition and faithfully reproducing the car's original interiors, and a "bespoke"service with unique customization, where every aspect can be designed to the customer's wishes, from the choice of wood and inlays to the finish.
We love to leave nothing to chance.
Each step and each activity is defined by a methodical and precise scheme, developed over the years, to ensure that every car is restored to the highest professional standard.
PROCESS
The customer can decide whether to entrust us with disassembling and reassembling the wooden parts, or simply provide them to us already disassembled. We organize collection by affiliated carriers to spare the customer the responsibility of shipping.
DISASSEMBLY
Each restoration starts by assessing the health of the car's individual components. We like to safeguard the existing as much as possible, seeking to preserve and recover original woods and finishes. This is a very delicate phase: each component is disassembled with the utmost care to avoid compromising its structure.
RESTORATION
Each restoration process is handled by expert personnel in every single phase: from the burl and wood work performed by master artisans to the veneer.
REASSEMBLY
The final step, which must be performed with the utmost precision and care. Each component is put back in its place, carefully fixed and checked to make sure there are no vibrations or aesthetic misalignments. All ready for a new life.
