We offer personal service on a one-to-one basis. We are not a faceless corporation interested only in multi-nationals like Ford, Toyota or Fiat. We prefer to give a low cost personal service to individuals and small companies. Affordable pattern making, FRP panels, carbon fibre, moulds and one-off car bodies to your design or ours.
We produce customised car bodywork-spoilers, bumpers, hoods, wings, bonnets- up to full concept show car bodies. From conceptualisation and design renderings through making patterns (buck) then moulds, chassis design and running gear selection, we do it all under one roof. Full project management from prototype to low volume production.
Commissioning a new car design is a 7 stage process. Although we have a selection of 50 concept cars in our portfolio, our main business is taking commissions and proposals from you, the client, making your dreams reality.

STAGE 1:  After discussing the brief we will draw one or two concept car shapes for approval, or select one from the portfolio. 

STAGE 2:  You will make criticisms then we produce more drawings, hopefully close to the final shape.

STAGE 3:  More criticism from you, then onto stage 4. otherwise we liase with you to produce more design interpretations. After confirmation of final design drawings some clients will sign off and go away to build the car themselves. However most clients want us to build the car which they can drive. This can be achieved with our integrated chassis design service. Chassis platforms can be steel spaceframes or our unique carbon fibre road tub.
STAGE 4:  Attention now moves to the workshop where we start to create the new body panels or body shell. If it's just a one-off that is needed the cost can be kept very low if clay models and moulds can be avoided. If you want an original bodyshell to fit your own chassis it can be ready in 10-20 weeks.
STAGE 5 If you are commissioning a chassis and suspension then work will start before stage 4. Bodyshell construction will run concurrently. We build chassis for both off road racing and the road, and design suspension.

STAGE 6 Assembly of the running prototype.

STAGE 7 Moulds and jigs will be produced if not already done, or where a production run is required.
