✨ Aston Martin Zagato Milano – Bespoke Rear-End Repair ✨
Some vehicles are special. Others are genuinely one of a kind — and this Aston Martin Zagato Milano certainly falls into that category.

🔨 Bespoke Rear-End Repair
This incredibly rare Aston Martin Zagato Milano came to Motts requiring extensive repairs to the rear end following significant damage.

With a vehicle this unique, there was one major challenge — there are no replacement panels or readily available parts to simply order and fit.

So, rather than replace the damaged sections with off-the-shelf components, our team set about hand-making the required sections from scratch, carefully recreating the original shapes, lines and contours of the vehicle.

🛠️ Hand Fabrication & Specialist Bodywork
Working on a vehicle like this requires patience, precision and a real understanding of traditional body repair techniques.

Every section had to be carefully shaped and fabricated to achieve the correct fit and alignment, before being prepared and refinished to seamlessly match the rest of the vehicle.

From the initial damaged condition, through fabrication and preparation, to the finished result, this was a true bespoke body repair.

✨ The Finished Result
The finished rear end has been restored to an exceptional standard, bringing the Zagato Milano back to its unmistakable original appearance.

It's projects like this that demonstrate that at Motts, we're not limited to simply replacing panels. When parts aren't available, we have the skills and experience to manufacture what is required and repair the vehicle properly.

🏆 Specialist Repairs for Special Vehicles
From everyday accident repairs to rare and highly individual vehicles such as this Aston Martin Zagato Milano, we approach every job with the same attention to detail.

If it can't be bought, we'll make it.

📍 Need a specialist repair?
Whether it's a rare classic, an exotic vehicle or a vehicle where replacement parts are simply unavailable, our experienced team can help.

🛠️🎨 Specialist Fuel Tank Paintwork By Motts 🎨🛠️

There’s something special about a fuel tank transformation — it’s the heart of the bike and the first thing that draws your eye.

This tank arrived finished in matt black: understated, worn, and ready for a new identity… and now it wears a bold khaki green with pride.

Using specialist paintwork techniques, the tank was fully stripped, prepped, and refinished from the ground up. The new khaki green brings character and depth, while crisp pinstripes adds contrast, detail, and a touch of timeless custom style.

Every surface carefully prepared, every line laid with intention — finished with protective clear coating for durability, depth, and a flawless finish worthy of the machine beneath it.

If you appreciate quality paintwork and detailed restorations, follow along — more one‑of‑a‑kind transformations coming soon.

🛠️✨ Headlamp Refurbishment: Clarity Restored by Motts ✨🛠️

There’s nothing quite like the transformation a fresh set of crystal‑clear headlamps brings - not just to a car’s look, but to its confidence on the road. These headlights arrived cloudy, tired, and heavily yellowed from years of exposure… and now look at them shine.

Using specialist restoration techniques, we strip away the built‑up haze and remove that deep yellow tint, restoring the lenses back to a clear, bright finish.

Every surface polished, every layer refined - bringing back clarity, safety, and that factory‑fresh sparkle.

🎥 Take a closer look at the full refurbishment process and see how much difference precision and passion can make.

If you love seeing vehicles brought back to their best, follow along - more transformations.
