Aston Martin DB2/4 Restoration

Body by Graber

This is the only Aston Martin DB2/4 chassis bodied by the swiss firm of Graber. We performed a complete ground up restoration on this which was then shown at The Pebble Beach Concourse where it placed in class. This project required extensive metal work and metal fabrication which was performed in house at KKR.

Aston Martin Volante

We located this rare Aston Martin in Canada and purchased it for a client. We then performed a complete ground up restoration on the car to show standards. The car was shown at The Quail in Carmel.

Ferrari 250 PF Cabriolet

This vehicle only required paint, interior and chrome to bring it up to show standards. The perfect paint was done in house at KKR.

Aston Martin DB4

KKR performed a ground up restoration in record time on this DB4 so that it could be sold at the RM Auction in Monterey 2012. The car realized a hammer price of $520,000 which must have been a record price for a DB4 Saloon. This is an obvious testament to the quality of the restoration.

Aston Martin DB Mark III Drophead Coupe

Aston Martin made only 85 of these cars and we have been lucky enough to have worked on quite a few of them. This example was taken from a shoddy barn find to a concourse winning example by the staff of KKR.

Aston Martin DB5

A ground up restoration on the ever popular DB5, this example received numerous practical upgrades like air conditioning, power steering, upgraded suspension and alike. These are practical modern classics that can be driven in every day traffic without worry.

Jaguar XKE Roadster

KKR performed a nut and bolt rotisserie restoration on this low mileage early E-Type roadster. This was an original California car in an unusual color combination. All work performed in house as usual with KKR.

Mercedes Benz 300SL "Gullwing"

A California car from new, this 300SL received a concourse quality restoration by KKR. The car was repainted in its original silver livery. After being enjoyed by the owner for almost ten years the car was sold at RM Monterey for a healthy sum. The new owner is reportedly very happy with his purchase.

AC ACE

One of our more challenging projects, this early AC ACE was restored to show winning standards from literally a pile of bits that arrived piled on a trailer. Extensive body reconstruction was required before the project could move forward. The result was a stunning example of the predecessor to the legendary AC Cobra.

Aston Martin DB5

This DB5 was a California car from new and was in long term ownership. It still wore its original Fiesta Red paint work. KKR did a ground up restoration on this car in its original colors to show winning perfection. The California owner enjoys driving this car regularly and it can be seen at numerous shows.
