  • Conservation and restoration of road vehicles is the process of restoring a vehicle back to its original working condition, whether the car is partially scrapped or completely totaled.Automotive restoration can be applied to many different eras of the automobile. Bus preservation groups aim to purchase buses of various eras to restore them to their original operating condition. Buses are often restored to the original authentic livery of their original owner. Restoration means removing, replacing, or repairing the parts of a vehicle, while preservation means keeping the original components. Though automotive restoration is commonly defined as the reconditioning of a vehicle "from original condition in an effort to return it to like-new or better condition," There are many styles of which a vehicle can be restored, any of which can be performed at the discretion, desire, or taste of a vehicle owner or restorer. There are different levels of automotive repair. The highest quality level, generally unobtainable for the amateur restorer, is the Concours d'Elegance level; these are cars that are frequently restomoded to a degree often beyond the quality that they were when they left the factory. There are virtually no deficiencies in the quality of the parts that were actually restored. Those parts that did not come on the car as it was first sold must have the highest level of fit and finish, and appear to have been original parts. Many Concours cars are not driven except for the short distances from their trailers to the show field. For example, the guidelines of the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) are to "evaluate an antique vehicle, which has been restored to the same state as the dealer could have prepared the vehicle for delivery to the customer." Only when a car is completely placed back into the condition it was first sold in is it considered to be restored. Various aspects of a car may be repaired without the car being restored. A car that does not run can be repaired to running condition, but that simply means it will now run and does not mean that any part of the car has been restored. Automotive Restoration means that the car was put back into the condition it was first sold as. Anything else is either repair or resto-mod. Between these two extremes are the vast bulk of cars that are seen as drivers, neighborhood show cars, and 20-footers - in that they look great from 20 feet (6 m) away. Many value guides offer six levels of quality, from a "parts-only" car to the best at "Number 1" - absolutely perfect in every way. Restoration of a car is a daunting task, not one to be undertaken lightly, or by the inexperienced. A full restoration can take many years and can cost tens of thousands of dollars; often, and generally, well in excess of what the finished value of the car will be. Many jobs will have to be farmed out to specialty shops; those with the special knowledge and equipment to do the job. Often a restoration once started is left unfinished and the car and parts can be purchased for a fraction of their worth. However, if a person buys an unfinished project, it is imperative to be sure that all of the parts are there. Finding parts for an orphan or rare car can sometimes be impossible. This necessitates the fabrication of parts from scratch, generally at great effort and expense. For the amateur, or even experienced restorer, there are a great number of help sources, books, and magazines (Skinned Knuckles in the US or Practical Classics in the UK, for example) to assist with restoration of an entire car or specific parts. There are also enthusiast websites that can offer helpful advice and contacts for vehicle restoration. (en)
  • La restauration automobile consiste en la réparation de tous les composants d'un véhicule dans le but de redonner à celui-ci la condition exacte dans laquelle il se trouvait à sa sortie d'usine. Une restauration comprend les parties visibles du véhicule - la carrosserie, les parties chromées, les roues, l'habitacle - mais aussi les composants non visibles au premier coup d'œil, comme le moteur et son compartiment, le châssis, la transmission et tous les auxiliaires tels que les freins, le système de refroidissement, le circuit électrique, etc. Une variante de la restauration consiste à adapter des éléments plus modernes : le véhicule conserve des éléments d'origine, mais d'autres sont remplacés par des pièces et des éléments plus récents ou plus performants dans l'optique d'une utilisation plus facile, ou nécessitant moins d'entretien.

  • レストアもしくはリストア(英: restore)とは、(動詞表現であり)再び構築することという意味の言葉で、次のような様々な意味がある。 * 何かを以前の状態、場所、位置などに戻すこと。 * たとえば故障や劣化などしてしまった機器類、乗り物類などを、以前の状態に戻すこと。 * (作品や建物などを)元の状態になるように、修理したりリノベートすること。 この語の名詞形はリストレーション(英: restoration)である。英語話者と話す場合は、動詞・名詞のどちらを使うべきなのかその都度判断する必要がある。 漢字表現では「修復」や「復元」などという。たとえばWindowsのSystem Restore(システム・リストア)は、(ITの専門家はそのままカタカナで表現することも多いが)初心者向けの漢字表記では「システムの復元」としている。「復」という漢字に「もどす。もとにもどす」という意味があるので、その漢字が入った語が訳語として使われている。動詞(用言)的に使うには「修復する」や「復元する」という。 (ja)
