Supreme Automobiles Ltd

Nelson, New Zealand.

It is time...

It is time to establish a new world class facility that will specialise in the restoration and remanufacture of fine classic exotic automobiles. The company directors Petrus and Danny have between them amassed a huge amount of top end experience in this field.


Our common vision is the desire and passion to restore remanufacture automobiles to the exacting original specification with a critical eye for award winning detail. Some of our resources employed include 3D modelling, scanning,
3D printing, laser cutting, CNC turning, CNC milling, plus all forms of welding.

These disciplines complement the
fastidious skill of our tradesmen.


To complement the creation or restoration of the vehicle we are also experts in providing an award-winning paint with detailed finishes.


Commissioning of your project, another critical factor includes dyno tuning, track and road testing.
We will frequently report on the progress on your project with:
- Project management
- Timeline management
- Budget / financial results
- Media report on progress

Testimonials

  • Petrus was part of a team who rebuilt my 1966 Ford GT40 using as many period original parts as possible. Petrus was responsible, amongst other things, in completing the bodywork to original specification and making a fantastic job of painting it in period colours using exact historic paint codes. I highly recommend his services to all classic car customers. FIA certified restoration

  • Having experienced significant difficulties with a previous supplier, I have appreciated the assistance provided in getting the project back on track. The regular and transparent interactions and constant communication and updates have set my mind at ease. You have restored my faith in the industry/trade. Besides Petrus’s skills in his trade, the ability of hands-on approach and his knowledge of restoring historic/racing cars is invaluable. His talent as a highly skilled painter is unmatched.

  • Petrus was a key member of the team of very skilled craftsmen involved in the build of my GT40. Once Petrus was on board with the project, suspension and chassis parts made by him were first class and of very high quality, enabling the car to be completed in a timely fashion after initial slow progress. Final fettling of the monocoque, fitting of the body, and painting of the mono and body were all Petrus’s responsibility, and I am delighted with the finished product. The car has been on the road since March 2019 and driving it has given me immense pleasure. It never fails to draw its fair share of attention when parked, even when in the presence of other exotic machinery.

  • Having worked with Petrus on a previous highly complex race car build, I have seen first-hand the excellent quality of his workmanship and persistent attention to detail that he relentlessly provides. His collaborative method of working with a client means that I was able to have a very comfortable hands-on approach during the development and initial bios stages of my project. The regular stream of photographic updates he sent through ensured that I continued to feel like I was still in his workshop working alongside him, so that every smallest detail that needed to be added to the car during its build could actually be done with ease. Since that first project was completed and shipped out to me at the end of 2017, I have begun two more highly complex and high-profile race car build projects with Petrus. These are already progressing well but am planning to ship the next batch of items to him in the next few weeks so that the work can continue uninterrupted. I have also entrusted an exceptionally high value of original race CAD parts to Petrus. This has been done without any formal contract firstly being set in place, as the level of trust I have for him is already at the highest level.
