Manufaktur 964 GmbH is a passion-driven company dedicated to the restoration and maintenance of the Porsche 964.
Our focus is not on selling cars, but this has become the case due to the large number of customers we have been able to satisfy over the years. Of course, we stand by our product and our work. We are happy to help our customers market the vehicles we have built for them, if desired.
All the vehicles we offer have either been completely restored as a "full project," repaired in a "rolling restoration" according to our standards, or maintained over many years.
These standards are sometimes a little excessive, but the quality of our work is at the heart of everything we do.
The base vehicle was purchased by our customer in 2021 with a mileage of 90,000 km and then extensively refurbished.
The vehicle was delivered from the factory with the following options:
Exterior color: A8V9 Polar Silver Metallic
Interior: Partial leather, black
Carpet color code: black
