The guys at Danrr did an amazing job on the bodywork and painting the car – it’s at least as good as when the car was new. I visited the car during each part of the process and the quality of the work impressed me. The paintwork was completely show quality with no signs of orange peel anywhere and no flaws.
What’s amazing for any body shop is that the car was actually finished ahead of schedule. If you have ever had a classic car painted you know how unusual this is. I took the car and sold it at auction and heard over and over from collectors and classic car journalists examining the car that it was the best example in the world. And when the car sold, it sold for a record price.
