Porsche 912

Customized Interior

For the interior, we allowed ourselves a few tasteful liberties, rather than pursuing a fully factory-original restoration. We focused primarily on the seats, while the carpets and upholstery were preserved in their good, original condition — maintaining a charming patina.

The seats were retrimmed in black leather with pepita-pattern centers, adding warmth and detail to the cabin. Another distinctive touch is the wooden steering wheel, not original to the car but adding a sense of elegance and character.

All upholstery and interior work were carried out in our Madrid and Barcelona workshops.

Jordi’s Opinion

Ferry Porsche and his management team saw a significant gap between the 356 and the expensive 911. They realized there was a market of potential 911 buyers who couldn’t quite reach that price level, and thus decided to launch a car that shared the same design and feel as the 911, but with a more affordable engine — the 90 hp 356 SC unit already in production. The result was a total success, especially in the U.S. market.

This engine, while not to be compared directly with the six-cylinder 2.0, performs beautifully in the light 912 chassis (995 kg). For pleasure driving, it offers more than enough power and an exceptionally balanced feel.

Once undervalued but always appreciated for its 911 heritage and authenticity, the 912 has seen a steady rise in interest and value over the last seven years — a trend we believe will continue, as it remains one of the purest and most timeless Porsche experiences.
