Each restoration represents a challenge that is taken care of by experts. A lot of Classic Car restorers show their results at Techno Classica.
FROM CRAFT OPERATION TO MANUFACTURER
Those who walk through the halls of the Techno Classica will see thousands of classics. Many, many of them have been extensively restored. The range here ranges from impressive private engagement to specialist companies and factory restorations.
For example, Mercedes-Benz in Hall 1 provides evidence of its own expertise. It is also clear that the market of the "Young Classics" has also gained in importance and has become the focus of the manufacturers.
The task here is usually different from that of classic cars, in which often a storage for several decades has destroyed a lot of substance. For younger models, more and more technical aspects are in the spotlight: Sound maintenance and repair are required here - and manufacturers can guarantee optimum results thanks to their expertise.
Projects without boundaries
In addition to the manufacturers, well-known restoration companies will be demonstrating their skills at the Techno Classica. This starts with small craft businesses and extends to globally known names such as HK Engineering or Brabus, to name just two important service providers in the Mercedes-Benz brand field. Nowhere else is it easier to compare these professionals than at the world fair No. 1.
Even hobby restorers who prefer to do the work themselves receive all the support they need in Dortmund. If, depending on the project, you cannot or do not want to carry out all the trades yourself, for example engine overhaul, painting or upholstery work: At the Techno Classica, everyone will find access to a specialist who will provide the right answers to all questions.
