Porsche Restoration

Breathe New Life Into Your Porsche.

For over 30 years we have been buying, selling, rejecting, repairing, and restoring Porsche. In fact, the first 911 Adrian Crawford purchased, in 1983, was to be our first Porsche restoration. Since then, we have handled tens of thousands of Porsche which has provided us with a deep understanding of the marque, and the infinite details which each model brings.

This knowledge is invaluable, and a key component, to the success of our team in returning the sparkle to classic Porsche projects we undertake. We understand how they should work, how they should be built, what works, and what doesn’t.

Since the business grew into Williams Crawford in 2012, we have been able to provide a dedicated restoration department, along with our skilled craftsmen, the tools, and comprehensive resources to bring your dream to reality.

Whether you are looking to reconstruct your Porsche to a world class factory quality restoration, or whether you’d prefer to make modern driving improvements with discrete upgrades to steering or AC, we can work together to accommodate your desire.

With our personalised approach to your restoration, we understand that you may want to match the bodywork of your car to your first Matchbox model, or maybe upgrade the interior leather to feel like a comfortable soft leather jacket, no matter what your Porsche restoration needs are, we can help.

Let us share with you a few of the case studies our restoration team have worked on including, 356, 911 F series, 911 G series, 964, and 993. If you’d like to keep track of our restoration case studies as we add new ones, please bookmark this link
