About us

We are GTO Engineering world-renowned as the leading independent classic Ferrari specialist. With a history dating back to the 1980s, we’re trusted by many of the world’s leading Ferrari collectors, racers, dealers and workshops to look after their cars. Over the years we’ve restored, serviced, raced, toured or supported many of the most significant Ferraris ever made, including the majority of the legendary 250 GTOs, the world’s most valuable car.

What are we like? We’re down-to-earth, we’re human, we’re passionate about cars, we have fun and we look after our clients well. We’re family-owned and try to foster a supportive, familial culture too, mixing Italian passion with British reliability.

We have a workshop full of some of the world’s coolest cars. When we don’t, we’re travelling to support clients in some of the world’s best locations: Florence, Palm Beach, Monaco, Monterey, Abu Dhabi or Tokyo, to name a few.

Our clients range from UHNW collectors with extensive car collections to enthusiasts who save up to fix their Ferrari at home on the weekend. Whoever they are, we care about them just as much, just as they all value our expertise, quality of work, discretion and top-class service.

From our expansive home in rural Berkshire, our growing team continues restoring, servicing, racing, touring and supplying parts for the world’s rarest, most exciting and most valuable cars: Enzo-era Ferraris.

Is it all easy? Definitely not. Like any specialist engineering company there is hard work, pressure and responsibility. But it’s rewarding, we have a laugh, clients trust us and we’re building something genuinely special.
