Motor Reincarnation
Reincarnation is at the very core of many cultures and philosophies, in ancient Greek philosophy metempsychosis is the idea that, when a person dies, their soul is transferred into another body.
Each designer and engineer put a little of their soul into each component, breathing life into it and my reincarnations are homage to their work. My passion is a pilgrimage through iconic motor history; my mission is to reincarnate iconic motor material into objects of desire.
Exclusivity
Some of the greatest engineers from the greatest design houses poured over each component to give it elegance and function. I honor this by devoting time and passion, reimagining each piece prior to giving its new function & form. Once a design is set, I keep it on record and never copy it, this way you can be sure that you have invested in a unique piece of engineering art.
Quality & Elegance
Some of the motor parts I reincarnate, have been working on a car, bike, airplane, train or boat for over 50 years; when giving new life to each object I feel obliged to design for at least as much.
Only top-class equipment and materials are used during every stage of building and the assembly process is completed with due diligence to make sure build quality is no less than perfect. Then the best part commences, each object is used under close supervision, so every little detail is inspected, such as: paint odor, switch feel, eyebrow lift angle measurement, desire & enviable looks!

Process
The two attributes I am looking for during my purchase process are authenticity and form. I only work with genuine material which can produce an elegant new object. Once I receive each part, I restore it with the utmost respect to its heritage & pedigree, researching & matching authentic era color codes and making sure its inherent value remains intact.
