The Porsche 356 Carrera 2 is one of the most significant models in early Porsche history. Vehicles of this class require not only expertise, but also a deep understanding of originality, substance, and value retention.
This reference vehicle has been completely restored – with the clear goal of harmonizing authenticity and technical perfection.
The quality of the bodywork is crucial for maintaining value. Here, too, we work without compromise.
Engine & technology
- Complete overhaul of the engine according to manufacturer specifications
- Inspection and repair of crankshaft, valve train, and ignition
- Overhaul of carburetors or fuel injection system
- Overhaul of transmission, brake system, and chassis
- Electrical repairs including modern, invisible optimization solutions
The goal is not only originality, but also reliability and suitability for everyday use.
Interior & details
- Upholstery work based on historical models
- Use of period-correct materials
- Revision of instruments, switches, and controls
- Attention to detail – right down to the screw connections, surfaces, and acoustics
A 356 thrives on its feel. That's exactly where we come in.
The concept: restoration with attitude
Our projects are not quick "cosmetic jobs." They are structured, documented restorations with a clear goal:
- Faithful restoration
- Technically optimized construction
- Value-oriented investment
- Documentation for history and verifiability
As a specialist company for classic sports cars, we combine bodywork, mechanics, electrics, and interior expertise under one roof. This is complemented by a well-established network of specialized partners.
The result is not a showpiece for an exhibition hall, but a vehicle that drives, impresses, and lasts.
