Choosing the right partner for your project starts with the right plan.

It’s designed to make your restoration journey smooth, transparent, and aligned with your vision.
Build Diaries
At Auto RARA, we create the UK’s most detailed build diaries. From early planning to live updates from our engineers, every milestone is carefully documented. Each restoration includes two professionally bound copies — one to preserve your car’s legacy, and one for you to treasure for years to come.
