Here is 911 S/T #1619 a Sonderwunsch build that has been my biggest project to date! With lots of details as a nod to other Porsches owned by the customer.
Painted in PTS Stone Grey as a nod to the classic designs from the original 911 S/T of the late 60’s/early 70’s.
The wheels, front surround, mirror stems, historic PORSCHE side script, wheels have all been finished in Creme White.
The mirror stems having a contrast colour are reference to the 997 GT3RS 4.0, and centre caps S/T logo are Guards Red on the passenger side and Shark Blue on the drivers side like the centre locks on the Carrera GT. The interior colours are linked closely to the customers 911K.
On the inside we have two tone Truffle Brown and Cohiba leather with Island Green cross stitching and seat piping - all other stitching was kept tonal.
The seat and door inserts finished in brown tartan to keep the period feel.
The headlining and carpet have also been changed to Truffle Brown. We chose painted interior package with light silver accents to bring in the Stone Grey and pair with the Island Green in the interior.
I believe we have a couple of UK first Sonderwunsch options on this S/T including the limitation badge finished in silver rather than gold, and the dashboard ends embossed with 63 as a nod to the first year of 911 production.
The centre armrest has Sonderwunsch embossed into it along with cross stitching, which the knee pads also have too.
One of my favourite parts to this S/T is the leather lined front boot with matching tartan accents!
A big thank you to our customer for his time and patience to create this one off car, I know we had a total of 9 specifications for this build!
A big thank you to @firstsitecolchester for allowing us to hand over this awesome car in their space!
Switzerland was epic! Amazing views and great roads to drive.
The 7 had an issue with the coolant tank, but @garagesuter got us in straight away and sorted out despite being so busy - cannot thank them enough!
Once back on the road we managed to do the Grimsel, Furka and Gottard passes.
Can’t wait to go back and do some more!
Last clip for cowbells and V8 power 😂

This Turbo S is a special one for me - as it was the first specification I sat in on with a customer!
Alongside @james_hunt_1988 we helped the customer design a classic understated Turbo spec, with a little twist too.
- GT Silver Metallic
- Slate Grey with Crayon leather, with Racing Yellow contrast stitch
The customer previously had a 996 Turbo, and we decided to include some features to hark back to the 996.
Outside of the car the only flash of colour are the yellow PCCBs, to tie to the stitch inside.
The light bar we kept red, a reminder of the original 930 with the red reflector.
Sports exhaust system with silver sport tailpipes, in keeping with the classic theme.
We also have exterior body colour mirrors and badging in silver too.
Inside, the customer went with the slate and crayon leather making it light and airy for touring, but added racing yellow stitching along with additional leather features to include the contrast stitch.
- dashboard and door trim package
- Fuse boxes in leather
- Air vents in leather
- Steering column in leather
We also have racing yellow seatbelts and rev counter and sport chrono dial to accent the yellow stitching.
To match the customers previous 996 Turbo, we added interior package in aluminium, as well as aluminium illuminated door sills.
To go with the racetex headliner, we added racetex belt outlets and sun visors.
Many thanks to the customer for letting me sit in and suggest some options to help tie in the awesome yellow stitch that you wouldn’t normally see. The car came out ever better than I was expecting!
Here’s to many happy miles for this customer, in a timeless specification, with a selection of individual options bespoke to them.

I enjoyed helping @james_hunt_1988 and his customer finalise the spec on their new Turbo S!
We wanted to get the little details just perfect for this special car.
- Jet Black Metallic
- Black leather interior with crayon contrast stitch
We added the Sport Design 911 Turbo package painted body colour, body colour mirrors, as well as air inlets also in body colour to add extra gloss to the body.
Matching gloss black Porsche and model logos were added too, even on the doors - almost as a ghosting effect.
Inside we have ventilated seats, matt carbon interior package, steering wheel column in leather.
To go with the racetex headliner, we added racetex belt outlets and sunvisors so everything above the door line is finished in racetex.
A matching painted key with custom leather pouch was also added.
Overall a car that flies under the radar for most, but to those who know will know…

Here is the first of 2 GT3 Tourings that were specced together!
I had so much fun creating these cars with the customers, a massive thanks to them for their time, ideas and also for listening to ideas I had too! A long time in the making, but it’s been a pleasure!
This GT3 Touring is a manual and painted GT Silver metallic, with silver wheels, PCCBs finished in black and has silver window surrounds, exhaust and PORSCHE logo.
On this inside we have the Exclusive Manufaktur interior black with Cohiba Brown and contrast Crayon stitch and added extended Exclusive leather package too.
We’ve also added some CXX options which really tie the classic colour scheme together: - Light silver dash, door and centre console trims paired with high gloss carbon - Sonderwunch logo in the centre armrest - Custom touring door sills in the badge font
Can’t wait for the second one to come in too, and to see them cruising together 😎
Congrats and enjoy! 🎉🎉
Here is a GT4 PDK finished in Shark Blue! This is my first specification with a customer, so thank you @gt4pdk for your patience and time to create this!
A great spec, and I really enjoyed helping create the car, discussing different colours and the interior options too - the final specification being:
Shark Blue paint with Black Race-Tex interior and contrast stitch in Speed Blue.
We added a host of leather options to incorporate the contrast stitch including:
Fuse box cover, dashboard trim package in leather and Race-Tex and door trim package.
Also added was the Clubsport package and fire extinguisher, illuminated carbon sills, Porsche text in the centre armrest and yellow PCCBs, with the 12 o’clock steering wheel marker to match.
Thanks again @gt4pdk , and enjoying putting the miles on it!
