Since its debut in 1963, the 911 has been at the heart of the Porsche brand. Few other cars in the world can look back on such a long tradition and continuity as the Porsche 911.

It has been inspiring car enthu- siasts around the world since its debut as the model 901 and to- day the 911 is considered as the quintessential sports car, the benchmark for all others.

Dubbed ‘Project 70’, the car has been carefully refurbished and prepared for racing, managed by the four Porsche Classic Partners (Glasgow, Hatfielt, Leeds and Swindon) and Porsche Re- commended Repairer, Road & Race Restoration.

But above all, our parts are guaranteed to meet the high Porsche quality standards. We use genuine spare parts almost exclusively during any restoration and repair work, especially for repairs to the powertrain.

Porsche Classic genuine parts for engines and gearboxes.

We replace components – such as cylinder heads, camshafts, valves or occasionally even the crankshaft – based on specific wear limits according to the repair or maintenance plans. Our experts have many years of experience, enabling us to complete all of this work in-house.

In addition to the essential genuine parts, repair and maintenance work on engines and gearboxes also relies on the latest technologies, combined with decades of experience. But the fact that a potentially record number of over 70 per- cent of all Porsche road vehicles ever produced are still being driven today – and often in good or excellent condition – is not just down to the use of genuine spare parts and the latest repair technologies. www.porsche.com/classic Decades of wide-ranging experience and knowledge we locate new suppliers.
