Our design consultancy combines historical understanding with modern technical capability.

Historical Research and Analysis

Pre-war vehicles were conceived within a very different engineering philosophy, where material limitations and manufacturing methods shaped every decision.

We study traditional construction techniques, metallurgy and period manufacturing processes to understand how and why components were originally made. This allows us to approach each project with sensitivity to the intent of the original maker.

Digital Modelling and Technical Development

Using advanced 3D CAD modelling, digital scanning and technical drafting software, we create accurate digital representations of components and assemblies.

This allows geometry, tolerances and mechanical interaction to be analysed before manufacture begins, refining performance while maintaining authenticity.

Blueprint Interpretation and Documentation

Original drawings are often incomplete or inconsistent. We interpret period blueprints, archival documents and historic imagery, translating them into clear, structured and manufacture-ready technical documentation.

Where information is missing, we resolve details through research and dimensional analysis to ensure documentation is historically grounded and practically usable.

Bespoke Component Design

Whether developing a fully rendered rolling chassis model, recreating profiled road springs, producing precision-machined fasteners or designing structural components from first principles, we provide a comprehensive automotive design service tailored to vintage and pre-war vehicles.
