The Boss
Rudolf Kerschbaumer aka Kerschi
Kerschi´s fascination with wheelers was already aroused in his childhood. Only six years old he watched a car´s engine being rebuilt for the first time - and in contrast to his otherwise lively childhood-self he kept sitting and kept watching.
After a detour to professional gold- and silversmithing Kerschi went back to slightly more powerful tools and machines and made his degree as master mechanic in 1983. Starting to gain restoration-experience with brands like Renault, Fiat, Mercedes and Triumph he quite quickly began to be taken with the American way to drive.
His affection for capacity, performance and remarkable design finally drew his attention completely to US-American classics in 1992.
Since 2011 he is sworn and certified expert on historical cars.
From small modifications to full restorations: He is the man for your project.

Marie-Luise Standteiner aka ML

Whether it´s about competent advise on the phone, about the Austrian „Pickerl“ (Inspection §57a) or simply about a cup of coffee while you exitedly discuss your project: There is no business without her. Thanks to the years of experience in our company one can´t fool her when talking about engines or brands. And as a former paralegal she is the one who sheds light on the maze of rules and regulations. She is as charming as competent and will be happy to welcome you!
The Man who´s got the feeling

Not even the tiniest dent is save from his skilled hands. So, there´s one thing you can be sure of in this complex world: Your wheeler will be in best hands!
