About Us
Welcome to Williams Crawford...
Connecting Porsche enthusiasts to their dream.
We were founded by Adrian Crawford in 1991, who was later joined by long-time Porsche enthusiast & repairer, Richard Williams. Williams Crawford is Passionate about Porsche.
Independence: We are experienced & passionate and are an independent Porsche specialist, which allows us the greater flexibility to offer better solutions that suit you, rather than to suit the manufacturer.
Our Team: The team here is big enough to cope, help you when it’s urgent, and respond to the unforeseen. On the flip side, we’re small enough to care and you can speak directly to a real person.
Expert Advice: Within our team there lies an extensive knowledge base who are ready to advise you on any issue, whether it’s sales, selling, service, modification, or restoration.
Sales, Sourcing & Selling: Typically, our showroom will have a stock of Porsche covering all eras, from the 50’s through to nearly new. But, if there’s something that’s not in our stock, we have an extensive worldwide network to draw from, which has the potential to source exactly what you’re looking for.
We buy and sell all eras of Porsche, it could be nearly new, or sometimes brand new, through to the Worldwide trade of classic and collectable Porsche.
Service, Maintenance & Upgrades. The service and maintenance for all models is undertaken in our own highly equipped workshop where we apply the same care and love to all Porsche that come through our doors.
Restoration: Our in-house restoration department will breathe new life into any loved Porsche, from world class restorations to small repairs, we do it all! This includes bespoke work and adventure/motorsport preparation.
Enjoy a visit to Devon & Cornwall. We are located at the gateway to Cornwall, perfect for a few days away in a Coastal hotel, or a drive around the coast. Our local knowledge means we can share amazing routes, recommend local accommodation, and even point you in the direction of ‘must do’ activities when you come to visit.
We look forward to helping you in any way we can.
