About Cartel Works

Where Classic Craftsmanship Meets Modern Mastery.

Cartel Works was founded with a bold vision: to raise the bar in automotive restoration and racing support. Cartel Works has grown from its roots, setting new standards for precision, quality, and passion in every project we take on.


While we continue to evolve, our core team remains the same—dedicated experts who love what they do, now joined by a few more creative minds at our new paint and panel division at 121 Pascoe Street. With the addition of this division, expect to see more updates on stunning paint jobs and full restorations of vehicles old and new.


We’ve also broadened our scope. While classic cars remain at the heart of what we do, we’re now working on everything—if it moves, we can fix it! From vintage icons to modern vehicles, we’re committed to delivering excellence on every project.


Follow our journey on Instagram @Cartel.works to stay updated on our latest projects. We’re lucky to be based near the stunning Nelson Classic Car Museum, and every day in the workshop is as inspiring as the view we have outside our doors.


At Cartel Works, we’re driven by passion, craftsmanship, and a love for all things automotive. Whether it’s a classic car restoration or a modern makeover, we’re here to bring your vehicle back to life.
