Progress built on precision.

This Porsche 911 Clubsport has reached another important milestone with the carbon Kevlar body kit dry built for inspection.

Together with the owner, our team is carefully checking panel fit, alignment and overall form before the next stages of body preparation continue. Taking the time to get every detail right now lays the foundation for everything that follows.

Another step forward in what’s shaping up to be a very special build.

Inside the AutoRARA trim department ✂️

From stripped seat frames and carefully shaped foam to cutting, stitching and final fitting, every stage requires precision and patience.

It is the work behind the finished interior that makes all the difference.

Land Rover Tomb Raider Project | Update 4

The paint booth has done its work. 🎨

After countless hours of preparation, masking and precision, the Land Rover is now wearing its fresh coat of paint. Every panel has been carefully refinished, bringing this iconic project one step closer to reassembly.

There’s still plenty to come, but seeing the body in colour is always a milestone worth celebrating.

The next chapter starts soon.

A couple of weeks after being assessed, “Ernie” the Ford Es**rt XR3i is now into the next stage of its journey at AutoRARA.

The interior is being carefully stripped back, giving the team a clear view of the shell before planning the work ahead. It’s always exciting to see what lies beneath, and this is just the beginning of the story.

We’ll be sharing Ernie’s progress as the project develops.

A quick look at just a few of the vehicles that have passed through our mechanical workshop over the last couple of weeks.

From routine servicing and diagnostics to major mechanical work, every project receives the same attention to detail from the team.

Some customers don’t just come back once. They come back because they trust the people working on their pride and joy.

This Audi RS2 has returned to Auto RARA for the next chapter—this time for trim work to the front seats and door cards.

Some cars never lose their presence—and the Audi RS2 is one of them.

Some cars have a presence that never fades.

This 1965 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Pagoda is currently in our workshops for a combination of fabrication and paint work, with the team carefully addressing the areas that need attention while preserving everything that makes this classic so special.

It’s another great project progressing through the workshop, and we’ll be sharing more updates as work continues.

Every great restoration starts with solid foundations.

Our latest Jaguar XJS has now moved into fabrication, where damaged metal is removed, repaired and rebuilt by hand. It’s meticulous work that demands patience, precision and craftsmanship—but it’s this stage that determines the quality of everything that follows.
