NEW PORSCHE SPECIALIST FOR THE SURREY HILLS AREA

Renaissance Classics Sports Cars is go

Attention Porsche fans in the Surrey Hills environs. A new sales and servicing specialist outfit has set up shop just outside Ripley. Renaissance Classics Sports Cars has moved into the former home of international Porsche race team Trackspeed.

Directors Keith and James Sohl say it was their dream to operate a ‘one stop shop’ for classic and sports car enthusiasts. That dream has become a reality. Renaissance Classics Sports Cars has been in full swing since May last year.

Renaissance says it offers a full range of services for Porsche aficionados, including sales, maintenance, restoration, tuning, enginerebuilding and finance. They also reckon exceptional customer service is at the heart of everything they do. “We will not sell anyone a car that we wouldn’t be happy to own and drive ourselves,” they say.

What’s more, they trade in a wide range of Porsche sports cars, from the earliest air-cooled 911s through to late Type-997 911s. Renaissance also reckons it has a thorough knowledge of Boxsters and Caymans as well as classic four and eight-cylinder transaxle models. All vehicles are said to go through a 131-point inspection and are fully serviced and presented with a six-month comprehensive warranty as standard. An option to extend the warranty is available.

Extensive parking and a rather spiffing 10-bay “stable block” garage rounds out Renaissance’s facilities. Renaissance says its doors are always open and they encourage all and one to pop down any time to grab a coffee, check out the new showroom, have a sniff around the workshop and shoot the breeze on all things Porsche. Even better, readers of 911 & Porsche World are invited for a free 50-point Health Check and an introductory 25% off any labour undertaken by their engineers.
