Your Porsche. A Complete Work of Art.

 

Each Porsche has its very own story to tell. The model, construction year, colour, motorisation – they all reveal a great deal about these sports cars that stay forever young. However, the technical details aren’t the only factor that determines the driving experience on the straights and the curves; you are too.

This is the reason why we begin every consultation by going for a spin in your Porsche together. That way, we not only get to know your vintage car, but we also learn about the demands you put on your engine, suspension, and transmission. We examine your vehicle from the bottom up and outline various repair options.

No matter whether you simply want to drive safely, get your Porsche ready for the next race, or present it in its full perfection, our team at the Porsche Vintage Car Restoration Workshop will work with you to find the best path to take – fully dedicated to your automotive work of art, using their technical expertise and passion for detail to get the best results.

What our customers say

“I brought my Porsche to Schad Originale in the Klassikstadt in Frankfurt for inspection prior to purchase. I can only recommend anyone else to do the same. When you spend a five or six-figure sum on a car, you want to ensure that the seller’s information is correct and the car truly is perfect. Uli Günster and his team took it for a test drive and checked the motor, brakes, throttle response, etc. Then they put the car on the lifting platform and inspected the cavities with an endoscope to check for deposits or corrosion. The inspection was extremely helpful and decisive for the purchase. Luckily, everything was as it should be. I have since had my entire Porsche sealed there. Now it’s ready for eternity.” Customer rating: 9 out of 10
Dr. Stefan Brungs, Porsche 993 Cabriolet, 1996 model “For me, the level of knowledge, ideas, technology, and love that they put into these vintage vehicles at Schad Originale is unparalleled. These aren’t just buzzwords here; they truly live them. And they do so with unfailing politeness and courtesy toward their customers. There’s only one way to describe it for me: extremely impressive.” Customer rating: 20 out of 10
Between 2018 and 2020, Jörg von dem Knesebeck has had five Porsches worked on and conserved at SCHAD Originale. “If someone is looking for technical competence customized to their individual needs with a transparent initiation in the processes involved, you’re absolutely in the right place with Schad. It doesn’t matter if it’s for a Mercedes or a Porsche; I’m lucky enough to be able to speak for both. I have not encountered this kind of endless technical knowledge, down to every screw and colour code, combined with an enthusiasm for the overall product itself anywhere else. You can just tell that the team is truly passionate about it. That is one of the things I value here. I want somebody to approach my car like an enthusiast because I am an enthusiast myself. What I saw at Schad confirmed that, and that’s why it was an easy decision to take my Porsche there too.” Customer rating: 10 out of 10
Dennis Schmorleiz, Porsche 996 Carrera 4S, 2004 model (was previously a customer in the Mercedes-Benz Vintage Car Workshop with his Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC, 1978 model) “One morning on the way to work, the ignition coil malfunctioned. As a devoted Glinicke customer, I took the car straight to the Klassikstadt. To my surprise, there had been a change of hands, so I ended up at Schad. The workshop hadn’t started their regular work yet. At first, it was a stressful situation: There I was with a fuming, smoking car, and I concluded that I just had to see it through, right here, right now. In the end, it was the best thing that could happen to me. I quickly felt very well looked after. Clear communication from the very start played an important role in that: “We’ve not quite started yet, but we’ll handle it.” I’ve been a loyal, regular, and very, very happy customer ever since – with real conviction and passion for my hobby. We’ve since reached a very deep level of trust. On the one hand, they have a great understanding of both people and machines, which shows how much love and dedication they put into what they do here. On the other, their reliability and integrity complete their high standards and level of expertise perfectly.” Customer rating: 10 out of 10
Volker Nikoleizig, Porsche 996 Coupé, 2002 model “My vehicle is one of the first turbos that Porsche ever built. Naturally, I want to keep the car and pass it to the family. That's why I like the car to be in top condition. Even the smallest details are important to me. First, I went to Klassikstadt. I knew I'd come to the right place when I saw how the guys work. They do a brilliant job. After the engine overhaul, the car was taken to Bad Vilbel for the bodywork. What they achieve there is tremendous. It's fantastic. I'm convinced I'm in good hands there.” Customer rating: 10 out of 10
Wolfgang Uhl, Porsche 930 Turbo, 1975 (14th exemplar in the series)
