Forty years of work, told by those who entrusted us with their Porsche.
I had started the restoration by entrusting it to a body shop that got practically everything wrong, even the colour. I then brought my Porsche 911 2.4S Targa MY 1972 to Porschemania: it was restored with great care and professionalism. Throughout the work, the excellent Michele always brought every single detail back to perfection. I am fully satisfied and cannot wait to start another project!
The hood needed replacing and the driver’s seat had peeling leather. Porschemania found the right materials without pushing modern alternatives on me. The result is coherent with the car, not a patch job.
I’d been driving the 911 with makeshift seat covers for three years. I kept putting it off because I couldn’t find someone I trusted with the materials. The leather and fabric sample range at Porschemania is serious. I chose colour and finish at my own pace. Now I open the door and stop to look before getting in.
I had a clear idea: the SC with a 1970s look, tobacco leather interior, gunmetal wheels. I didn’t want something generic. Porschemania took the idea seriously from the first appointment. Every colour and material choice was discussed together. The result is exactly what I had in mind, perhaps better.
There are good workshops for Porsches in Germany. But for my 1970 911 I wanted someone who would treat it as a unique piece. I found Porschemania on specialist forums and brought the car from Munich. The photo-by-photo documentation of every restoration phase was exactly what I was looking for.
The Targa roof was leaking at a couple of points and the opening mechanism was stiff. I was looking for someone who really knew these things, not someone improvising with generic seals. They redid the mechanisms, seals and inner lining with original materials. Not a drop gets in now.
I’m ten minutes away by car. I’ve brought the 911 to Porschemania several times over the years. I’ve never had reason to look elsewhere.
The 914 had rust in the sills and a poorly done bodywork repair on the left wing. Porschemania documented everything before touching anything and showed me the original colour specifications. Three weeks, no surprises.
Custom cover for the 356 with an embroidered logo. Soft material, well made. Ready in three weeks.
I ordered NOS parts for the 356 directly from the website. Careful packaging, parts arrived in perfect condition in four days. I didn’t expect such attention for an international order.
I was skeptical about backdate projects. I feared something artificial. What I saw come out of Porschemania was coherent in every detail, nothing jarred. It took six months and every decision was mine.
The 911 had a repair on the front hood that was barely visible but had bothered me for years. In raking light the colour was slightly off. Porschemania redid the area matching the original paint code. Now you can’t see a thing.
You trusted us with your Porsche. Tell us about it.
