PORSCHE CLUB OSTROBOTHNIA VISIT

Carrera Classic was hosting the PCF Cars and Coffee event of
Porsche Club Vaasa, Seinäjoki and rest of Ostrobothnia on Thursday evening 11.6 at our base in Maalahti. We got the visit of 30 cars and about 40 people, which is far more than participated to the previous visit in 2021. Thank you for all visitors for your great interest in our activities and cars.

This time the star of the event was our latest 964 backdate project CC2 which is still work in progress. The car was standing first day outside of the garage on its own wheels with almost all equipment installed. We had driven the car just few hundreds of meters earlier the same day to get the suspension settle down to the right position. You will hear more of this interesting project in few weeks when we start the test drive programme.

The other interest of the visit were the 356 Pre-A Cabriolet, 356 Carrera 2, several early 911´s, our 2.0 Litre Cup 911 race car and a 912 rally car. Also the impressive parking of the participants cars ranging from all the latest Porsche models to the 356 and everything in between had the attention of the participants.

It was a very nice and interesting evening for the team Carrera Classic. Wellcome again. 🚗🇫🇮😀

964 BACKDATE PROJECTS ARE PROGRESSING

Our 964 Porsche Backdate projects are progressing. For those who are not familiar what is a Backdate, here it is: We take a 1990´s Porsche 964 completely in pieces and modify the chassis and interior to look like early 1970´s Porsche 911. Technically the car is fully overhauled or even rebuild and it typically gets a lot of different performance upgrades depending on customer specification.

Today we had an important day. We had one project chassis (CC2) ready and fully painted after 4 months of intensive work. We took the next, ready dismantled, project car (CC3) to our sheet metal/paint shop and took the CC2 chassis from there back to our main workshop for final assembly.

CC2 is a full "Singer" style 964 C2 backdate with beautiful "Gun Metal Grey" exterior. The interior will be completely new and rebuild to 1970´s 911 retro style by Lakewell. The black / dark brown leather together with tan alcantara, looks great. The 3,6 liter engine is rebuild and has a full Cargraphic exhaust system and a stage 4 performance package. The G50 transmission will be overhauled. The suspension is rebuild and the car will have fully adjustable Bilstein suspension. All maintenance parts have been changed. The wheels are modern 17-inch Fuchs wheels. The old Porsche A/C system will be deleted and replaced with a new electric air conditioning system. There is a strong retro tendency in the whole design. The interior mat material is from the 1950´s 365 Porsche. The seats are like early 1970´s Recaro sport seats. The instrument faces have been modified to follow the visual image of the famous 356/early 911 "Green instruments". There is a long list of other nice details. CC2 assembly project and test drives should be ready for customer delivery in July 2026. The car is fully built according to the unique customer specification.

During the spring our team will have the fascinating job to put this puzzle together to become a high specification dream Porsche, with old classic spirit and looks but with more modern technics and handling.

THE SUMMER IS OVER AND WINTER IS COMING

The summer 2025 is over and the winter is coming. Next week we will get snow! We had one of the last test drive days in our base on the first of November. It was the only dry day of the week and still with + 4 C ° degrees.

We drove our 1955 Pre-A 356 Cabriolet after the final engine adjustments. We drove the car in the late afternoon which was dark like in the middle of the night. Our small old 6 -volt lights were quite humble in the highway traffic with the enormous led lights of the modern lorries. Our small cabrio was running fine in the highway speeds with its narrow 135-140 wide (trailer/ motorcycle?) tires. Not really the optimal conditions for a small beautiful cabrio, but it was a great adventure. Nice after Halloween evening ! 🥵

We also drove two customer cars. The one was a 1980 911 SC from our old customer. The car has a high end 3,2 conversion and 46 mm PMO carburetors - Great specification. Now we upgraded the complete pedal system to Rennline pedals and 964 based race throttle system. The driving feeling of the car changed completely. Now the throttle is really sensitive to take the best out of the car and power unit. 😃

Our beloved 1965 911 race car is resting in it base and waiting for the new season. Historic racing is as sophisticated as modern racing like WRC, WEC and F1. We are now waiting the new technical rules for 2026 for our race car which got its FIA homologation 60 year ago. This changing of the rules every year or two is the disease of the motorsports.😡

After busy summer we will have a busy winter ahead of us to complete two high end 964 Backdates for our customers. Here you have pictures of the status off the CC2 chassis, engine and suspension. Now it is a real puzzle to get the car together again. At the same we work with similar CC3 project which should also be on the road in summer 2026. It is great to be busy.😃🇫🇮🚗
