ClassicCarRestore — Premier Vintage & Classic Car Restoration
Rediscover the timeless elegance of automotive history with ClassicCarRestore, Pakistan’s foremost vintage car restoration atelier. From complete nut-and-bolt rebuilds to meticulous cosmetic rejuvenation, our craftsmen breathe new life into classic marques—whether you own a pre-war Rolls-Royce, a ’60s Mustang, or a ’70s Mercedes-Benz. With in-house coachbuilders, engine specialists, and upholstery artisans, we deliver museum-quality results grounded in period-correct authenticity, modern reliability upgrades, and unwavering attention to detail.
About ClassicCarRestore – Honoring Heritage Through Handcraft
Founded by automotive historian and master restorer Ahmed Sheikh, ClassicCarRestore embodies a passion for preserving rolling pieces of industrial art. Our Lahore workshop combines century-old coachbuilding techniques—wood-framing, hand-beaten body panels, and traditional paint layering—with state-of-the-art diagnostics, CNC-machined engine components, and precision-balanced drivetrains. Each project begins with an exhaustive condition survey: metal thickness readings, archival research on original factory specifications, and a detailed photographic record. We then craft a bespoke restoration plan that balances faithful authenticity with thoughtful modernization—upgrading braking systems, wiring harnesses, and cooling circuits for today’s roads while retaining the original character and driving experience.
