With the removal of the all-alloy body from the steel chassis, the restoration included a full chassis restoration, a full mechanical rebuild including to the engine and transmission, a full body restoration and complete rebuilds to the suspension, brakes, steering and electrics. A bare metal repaint, re-chroming of the bumpers, window frames, handles and all bright work were completed and the interior, fully re-trimmed in highest quality Black hides with Slate Grey Wilton carpeting and a new headlining, completed the restoration
The full restoration completed over a 2 + year period, was carried by highly respected UK based Aston Martin restorers, utilising the skills of former Aston Martin factory trained and employed craftsmen, engineers and technicians.
