Restoration

Our Aston Martin trained craftsmen offer a combined 150 years of experience.
Everyone who plays a part in the restoration of an Aston Martin or Lagonda at Desmond J Smail, shares a common bond of pride in the meticulous attention to detail and the unstinting care devoted to as close an attainment of perfect at every stage as is humanly possible.
Each car is an individual achievement of dedicated men; using the best modern materials available, hand built and rebuilt with imagination, skill and superlative craftmanship to the same standard or better as it left the factory.
Have your car restored by the men who built it.

Motorsport
|
Classic car rallying has taken off over the last few years and this in turn has presented new challenges for Desmond J Smail. Producing a classic car to withstand the rough and tumble of rallying without compromised safety or originality.
1997 saw the 'Desmond Smail prepared' DB5 entered in the Peking to Paris Challenge. A 47 day test of endurance over some of the roughest terrain from the Far East to Europe. The car finished 11th overall, the first Aston home. A real achievement for all involved and a credit to a 35 year old car.
Since then we have had entries in the Monte Carlo Challenge and various other sprints and rallies.
