How do I choose an exotic car restoration specialist?

Choose on marque experience first: ask for finished examples of your model and see cars in progress. Then confirm the shop documents every stage with photos and gives you a phased estimate rather than one open-ended number.

What is the difference between a frame-off and a rotisserie restoration?

A frame-off restoration lifts the body from a separate chassis so both can be fully restored. A rotisserie restoration mounts a unibody shell on a rotating fixture so the underside can be stripped and repaired as thoroughly as the top. Both aim for show-level results.

Does a Ferrari restoration shop need factory approval?

No, but if you want Ferrari Classiche certification, use a shop experienced in preparing cars for it. The program checks the car against factory records, so the restoration has to be planned and documented with that inspection in mind.
