Our Story
A dream made into reality
“The ultimate test of man and machines.” Home of classics — old vs modern, traditional craftsmanship vs modern engineering. Known in the Facebook groups as the “King of Custom Built.”
Founder
Meet Omar
Featured on 2mbili TV as “the guy behind all the classic cars in East Africa,” Omar personally owns 50+ classic cars. That collection — and a lifetime of hands-on craftsmanship — is what drives every facelift, custom build, and restoration that leaves the Ruiru workshop.
