COMING SOON | This 2004 Porsche 996 GT3 in the classic shade of Arctic Silver is undergoing some intense preparation at the shop. An exercise in just how exceptional a pre-owned car can be. No detail or expense is being overlooked in making this car as good underneath as it is on top. If owning one of the greatest sports cars ever made is on your bucket list, here’s your chance.

The cars are piling up inside and out. Shop space 2 project is expensive parking right now but we will keep you posted as we transform this part of our workshop.

Electric cars are not our core offering, but we do, on occasion, get to fiddle with them a bit. Here’s a Tesla Model S Plaid that got some bigger stoppers from @mountainpassperformance and an upgraded rear anti roll bar fitted at the shop.

ON OFFER | 1961 Porsche 356 B Coupe. This is a complete car that’s just looking for the right person to restore it to its former glory. Originally wearing the beautiful hues of Aetna Blue on Red when it was first imported by Hoffman Motors. We’d argue that it would best be brought back to original but it could also be refreshed and enjoyed as a patina driver. Here’s your chance to get a bonafide 356 for a relatively paltry sum of $80,000 CAD. Contact us for more information.

UPDATE | Posting is not living, and as a bit of a contrarian, I’d also say it’s not really working either. We’ve been way too busy actually doing stuff for our clients and neglecting our social media following, so here’s a couple tid bits of what we’ve been up to to catch you up.

ON OFFER | 2014 Porsche Cayman S. The lauded 981 generation has a lot going for it. Extraordinary ergonomics, very good build quality and a reliable 9A1 engine top the list of big-time Porsche achievements locked into this platform. Our favourite modern ‘attainable’ Porsche’s by far.

Extraordinary. Porsche nailed it with these cars, but in green it just has a presence that the other shades don’t quite hold.

ON OFFER | 2008 Porsche GT3 RS. RS Green, European market, Clubsport specification car with nomex Carrera GT seats and body coloured cage and PCCB’s. The last of the 3.6 GT3’s in the best colour.

ON OFFER | 2020 Porsche 718 GT4. Racing Yellow, manual transmission, Carbon 918 bucket seats, steel brakes. 6500 Km. A purist specification GT4 in proper shape. $165,900 CAD.

ON OFFER | 2014 Porsche Cayman S. Agate Grey on Black. PDK and very nicely specified. Well cared for, fully serviced, local Vancouver example. $64,900

ON OFFER | Our 2007 Porsche GT3 with all the right boxes ticked is live on @collectingcars ending Sunday. If you’re looking for an excellent condition, well optioned, low mileage example with all the maintenance done along with some tasteful upgrades, this is your car. Contact us for more information before you miss this one!

PROJECTS | When Porsche makes a 911 Turbo, it’s supposed to be a civilized, every day, practical supercar and they achieve precisely that. Usually clients of ours want a bit more edge. Some precision. A bit of GT car DNA added. This car strikes that balance with a careful selection of top drawer parts from Porsche’s own parts bin and the top level of aftermarket suppliers. It really becomes something special with the harmonious blend of tuning bits. It’s easy to ruin a car by modifying it if you do it wrong. This isn’t one of those cases. It’s incredible.

PARTS | We are obsessive about the parts we use, and quality has been a rare commodity in our world for a long time. Even amongst the carefully curated list of suppliers we work with, one truly stands out as the ultimate purveyor of quality goods. @europipe_exhausts

PROJECTS | Our own 997.2 GT3 RS received the full spectrum of tasteful upgrades in its long tenure with us as part of our in-house collection. European market Clubsport cage and seats, decal delete and monochrome body and interior changes, BBS Motorsport wheels, Ohlins suspension, and a host of little touches to refine this road car’s performance for daily use, but improve it’s capabilities immensely. It’s gone to a long term client now for further enjoyment under our ongoing care.

PROJECTS | This well-preserved survivor Bahama Yellow 69 911 T is off to its new home in Montreal after a mechanical refreshing that included fully rebuilding its 901 gearbox, all new suspension and a Wevo classic shifter amongst a host of little details to address. Bonjour Montreal!

ON OFFER | 2007 Porsche GT3. Carrera White, 18K miles and it ticks all the right boxes. Zero over-revs, coolant fittings pinned, money-no-object servicing, fresh Michelin’s, new Ohlins suspension, and a long history with us. $159,900 USD.

THIS WEEK | A lot going on… a 996 Turbo wrapping up a significant refreshing, a 997 Turbo embarking on the same. Manthey Racing suspension packages going into a 981 GT4 and a 991 GT3. Some safety gear and cool dive planes on a 991.2 GT3. Elephant 930 ERX calipers going on a major project to be unveiled soon….. and James is off to the UK to inspect cars. Spring has sprung!

IN THE SHOP | A colourful bunch just as Spring starts to make itself known in Vancouver. Look out for obligatory cherry blossom photos soon.
