from Zuffenhausen to Hollywood Boulevard…
The Porsche 356 Speedster it’s all of German cars and a little bit more than that… Of course seriousness, performance and build quality are here, but with a touch of “Chic” that belongs only to the “fifties” and with James Dean’s perfume still on the Nardi Steering-wheel…
Because the Porsche 356 Speedster has seduced all the stars of its time! Devised by Max Hoffman, the sole Porsche importer for the United States, this convertible version of the 356 has encountered a huge success thanks to its very low and raked windshield which gives it an exceptional shape…
Moreover, for all your ceremonies and events, the Porsche 356 Speedster’s curves are “naturally photogenic”, it will give all you pictures an incomparable glamour; very spacious it will as well welcome all the wedding dresses, even the most “extreme”!!!
the little sister of the 300 SL “Gullwing”…
The 190 SL is first of all the little sister of the mythic 300 SL “Gullwing doors”. It borrows its magic curveous shapes, looking at the the 190 SL one can’t help thinking that she is a “sculpture in motion”! But it is also a wonderful roadster, comfortable, reliable, silent and spacious …
… Because the 190 SL is not only taking the beautiful lines of the 300 SL. Under its body we also find back the double wishbone front suspensions and the rear swing axle from the “Gullwing”, it was the state of the art at that time and still today the Mercedes 190 SL stands out for its astonishing precision and road handling… It’s the ideal car for the French Riviera, comfortable on the sea side, safe on the mountain roads…
It’s cruising at light throttle that you will appreciate it the most, for a dinner in Monaco or a tour on the “cliff roads”, in an absolute “chic”… Because what really makes the 190 SL and the 300 SL so close it’s above all an extraordinary “glamour”, they are quite simply two of the most gorgeous cars in the world…
The “Giant killer”!
The Porsche 550 RS Spyder it’s the Myth in its natural state!!! All the ingredients are here, the legendary victories (Mille Miglia, Carrera Panamerica, Le Mans…) the dramas with James Dean’s accident, and a radical design, lightweight space frame chassis and mid-engine…
Because the Porsche Spyder 550 RS Spyder is first of all a race car designed to challenge the Ferraris and the Mercedes, from these mercyless fights it will get its nickname, “the giant killer”. Indeed confronted to the engine size escalation from the main factory teams, the very young Porsche squad has chosen the lightness and rigidity of a space frame chassis with a 1500 cc “flat-four” to lower the center of gravity, very quickly the Porsche are collecting victories with even the mythical “Targa Florio” and a Le Mans class win…
Still today the result is amazing, the 550 Spyder balance is quite simply incredible, lively, agile, precise, the car is almost impossible to catch out. Despite the powerful “2110” engine traction is perfect, brakes are definitely oversized, it’s a thrilling car to drive but with also a very high level of security.
It’s the ideal “mount” for a sporty car motoring week-end in the countryside, that you will be able to end beautifully with a diner in Monaco, its beauty will catch all the looks…
Mercedes “Pagoda”, the “SL Klass” at its maximum!!!
The “Pagoda” is the “SL spirit” at its maximum! Paul Bracq’s magic drawing and the 6 in line are obvious, but the most important is the unique compromise between luxury, discrecy and sportivity characterizing high-end Mercedes convertibles, the “SL Klass”, for more than 50 years…
… The 250 SL is made out of the will of its engineers, who develop tirelessly new technologies in order to design the “perfect” car, the most silent, the most reliable, the safest. Our 1967 Mercedes 250 SL has already multi-port injection and power steeering; its ultra-sophisticated running gears are laid on a multitude of bushes to get this inimitable “Mercedes feeling” whose key words are softness, silence and control.
But the Pagoda is also an extraordinary drawing from the French designer Paul Bracq, who has imagined (in order to give more head space to the two passengers without spoiling the line) this roof, slightly curved in its center, who will make this car become lengendary…
It’s the ideal car to discover the French and Italian Rivieras, you will arrive in fine shape at each stop, and on your way everybody will admire the balance of its lines, the perfect good taste of its interior, its leathers’ quality and the refinement of its equipements…
The Queen of cool!
Our Porsche 911S is a Targa, but apart from that it is identical to the one Steve McQueen drove in “Le Mans” and this is no coincidence!!! The “King of Cool” was an enthusiast, and just as him we have fallen for the unique blend of the sportsmanship, the efficiency and the masculine elegance of the 911…
The Porsche 911 is truly the archetype of “the sports car”. It is very comfortable and very practical yet certain details do not deceive; it was fundamentally designed for speed!!! In the 70’s, nothing else interested the Zuffenhausen engineers… nevertheless, a far cry from its reputation of being a car for “racing drivers”, the 911 is quite “easy to handle”. As a matter of fact, it is an agile mount, with an extremely sharp and precise front end. In fact, when sitting behind the wheel, one can be quite surprised by its extreme efficacy and it can be difficult to believe that one is driving a 43-year-old “classic”!!!
Notably, the engine doesn’t have a scratch. Its 2.4L, 6 cylinder “aircooled” boxer is a dream. Its racing grade dry sump lubrication allows it to climb in the RPM’s with thunderous speed and it is exceptionally reliable. The look of the dashboard has become legendary. The Targa soft top is simple and practical and the controls come naturally to hand … in point of fact the 911 is flawless!!!
356 Speedster, from Zuffenhausen to Hollywood Boulevard…
Our 356 Speedster is very much sought-after… So we have decided to add a second one to our “ideal collection”!!! Of course we wanted it radically different from our first grey “silver arrow”. This second Speedster is black with a red interior and a “Banjo” steering-wheel…
… Because the Porsche 356 Speedster has seduced all the stars of its time ! Devised by Max Hoffman, the sole Porsche importer for the United States, this convertible version of the 356 has encountered a huge success thanks to its very low and raked windshield which gives it an exceptional shape….
Moreover, for all your ceremonies and events, the Porsche 356 Speedster’s curves are “naturally photogenic”, it will give all you pictures an incomparable glamour; fast and reliable she is the “mother” of all modern Porsches and of course it is above all forever “James Dean’s car”!!!
