I have always wanted to own a classic Porsche and as I live in
London - England and only use a car for limited mileage at
weekends I decided to take the plunge! After a lot of research
and great advice from the likes of Bill Block, Jim Schrager and
Al Zim ( Thanks Guys) to name but a few I finally decided on my
beautiful Slate Grey C Coupe.
I was lucky enough to get in contact with Uwe Biegner based in
Frankfurt - Germany who was just finishing a restoration which
had taken the best part of two years to complete. After lots of
phone calls and emails I eventually flew over for the day to
view and test drive the car and immediately knew it was the one.
I finally picked her up on 15th December '05 and drove her
across Europe to get her home where she now takes pride of place
in my garage.
The car was manufactured 30th July 1963 and was first registered
in Verona - Italy where it stayed until the mid '80's. It was
then purchased and shipped back to Germany and a partial
restoration was carried out. For one reason or another the car
was never fully
completed and waited patiently until 2004 when Uwe came across
the car and worked towards getting her back on the road.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy looking at the pictures and reading my
little story.
Kind Regards,
