Assessment & Valuation
GTO Engineering is one of the world’s leading specialists in classic Ferrari. Our philosophy is simple; to be the best at what we do and develop close relationships with our clients in all stages of their ownership and share our mutual passion for this legendary marque.
Increasingly, our owner and collector clients, and our partners in the classic Ferrari business are calling on our expertise to establish the authenticity of an individual vehicle as part of a pre-purchase inspection.
Our intimate knowledge of the genuine article and in-house research archives, together with the practical knowledge of the work and parts required to satisfy Classiche certification criteria, means that we can help you make an informed decision on the purchase of your chosen car.
In addition, we can assist you to safeguard the value of your Ferrari by demonstrating its provenance and authenticity. This, usually in conjunction with a pre-purchase inspection, but sometimes as a stand-alone activity, we undertake detailed research into the history of a specific vehicle to assist in confirming originality including major component matches of the engine and gearbox.
GTO Engineering has access internally and externally to world-class resources and therefore facilitate the crucial role that thoroughly researched and credible proof of provenance plays in safeguarding its value.
Parts
Having worked with so many classic and rare Ferraris, we have gained an unrivalled practical knowledge of the parts required to keep these iconic cars in pristine condition. This knowledge together with significant investment in original parts, tooling and state-of-the-art equipment allowing GTO Engineering to ensure the quality, reliability and availability of the world’s rarest Ferrari parts.
We have a constant global presence to source the most original and rarest parts including many from original period suppliers to the Ferrari factory. In addition, through our in-house machine shops we also manufacture new parts to original OEM specification and test the parts on our own cars, ensuring the quality of the component meets or exceeds the original component performance.
As a notable example, GTO Engineering have now either sourced or re-manufactured every single component for most of the Ferrari 250 bloodline, up to and including complete engines, gearboxes, axles and suspension assemblies.
Repair Services
We are unashamed perfectionists, dedicated to achieving a level of accuracy, precision and excellence that raises each classic Ferrari to a level that showcases our craftsmanship.
Our experienced technicians service hundreds of classic Ferraris in our dedicated workshops, ranging from minor mechanical repair work to major overhauls. GTO Engineering’s decades of experience with classic Ferrari has given us a rare ability to scrutinise every detail, some that the less experienced might overlook, to ensure each car leaves having received the highest level of workmanship.
GTO Engineering perform all aspects of servicing in-house; from engine rebuild and tuning, through repair and rebuild of gearbox and axles, fuel systems, suspension and steering rebuilds and set up to all electrical work including manufacturing new wiring looms and ancillaries.
Restoration Services
GTO Engineering also has vast experience in restoring classic Ferrari and understand the importance of originality and preservation. Our dedicated team, workshop facilities and access to even the rarest parts mean we can often turn around the most complex restoration projects in a timely manner while still retaining the hallmark of quality for which GTO Engineering’s work is renowned.
We see these classic Ferrari as masterpieces, hand-crafted cars from a bygone era, combining master craftsmanship and masterful engineering into one totally unique car, born from human creativity rather than robotic production. We too utilise the same techniques in restoration; with skilled craftsmen, experts in hand-forming and finishing that use tools, techniques and skills that are becoming more and more scarce.
