We used a 1965 Australian built donor car as the base and built it fresh from a bare shell up.

The Aussie doors were a challenge to restore to perfection but he wanted the roll up window option.

Porsche red paint was requested to match other cars in the clients' collection along with a detailed Union Jack on the roof.

Full leather seating and panels with a black suede headliner made for a luxurious but sporty interior.

A custom built Heritage power unit with a performance cam and modified alloy head gave it all plenty of torque with a nice long power band for weekend canyon carving.

Handling was dramatically improved with what has become our signature Heritage Garage suspension kit - which includes coil springs and adjustable shocks all around.

The final result is a happy client with a beautiful car that performs and handles as good as it looks.



Our paint and body quality earned the prestigious Best Paint award at the Unique Little Car Show in 2011.
