Porsche Classic v the specialists

dear Sir,

Your interview over lunch with RPM Technik and Autofarm, two brands I’ve admired from afar for a while now, offered a fascinating insight into the trade. It seems Porsche is now acutely aware there’s a truly huge market of classic and modernclassic Porsche to tap into. This is a marked turnaround from only a few years ago when it seemed main dealers were happy to lose cars and customers to the specialist or third-party network once the car’s warranties lapsed.

Perhaps it’s a mark of an improvement in quality of the product that now Porsche is happy to invite cars which are many years old back into the fold. Either way, for me you can’t beat the hands-on approach of a specialist. In the interview, Darren mentioned the latte lounge approach to customer service at a main dealer. I’m sure I speak for many reading this publication when I say as an enthusiast it’s not the coffee I’m concerned with, it’s the level of knowledge and love that’s going into my Porsche each visit. Will turner Whether you use a specialist or main dealer for buying, selling or servicing your 911, you should be receiving nothing but spectacular service. While porsche has obviously looked to the specialist market for inspiration in appearing more accommodating for classic cars, specialist dealers have also upped their game in response to the rise of porsche classic.
