The car was restored by Attila Antal Widner between 2014 and 2016 in his automotive workshop, which was the predecessor of our company. The photos were taken seven years after the vehicle's complete restoration and demonstrate that high-quality craftsmanship ensures long-term preservation.

We don’t just focus on aesthetics—we make sure that our restored cars remain reliable even after many years. We have been servicing this vehicle ever since, and we take great pride in the fact that it is still in impeccable condition today.

The car was brought to our shop for a thorough overhaul. The owner wanted a car that was as close to factory condition as possible, but more reliable and long-lasting, therefore the end result was not to achieve museum-quality condition.

Troubleshooting and a complete disassembly were the first steps in the process. After that the chassis was sandblasted, and the locksmith work began. The entire chassis was initially galvanized, followed by priming and painting, after the locksmith work. All chassis components and parts were inspected. The bodywork has also undergone a complete restoration, as have the other parts of the vehicle.

The car's wiring has also had a thorough inspection, and any questionable problems have been found and fixed.  No loose joints were left unopened throughout the vehicle, all fasteners were cleaned and galvanised. 

Other than the factory fitted parts are: sports steering, silicone coolant hoses, OME suspension kit, 4 springs, 4 shock absorbers and 1 steering damper, ARB rear differential lock, Safari Snorkel air intake tube, front steel bumper, DWT 14000HD type winch front.
