taking centre stage at 🇮🇹

It was wonderful to see the Evoluto 'development' car on display at the London Concours — refreshed in a beautiful blue over porcelain leather seats with Tricolore stripes, and ready to head off to Asia for a handful of lucky customers and test‑driving journalists.

When is a Restomod not a Restomod?

This new creation - engineered by the team at is officially licensed by Ford, using new body shells. Not restored. Not a Restomod.

That makes it a ‘Continumod’…

However it is categorised, we loved seeing it in the flesh, and sitting in the cabin the finishes and surfaces are really nicely considered and executed.

We can’t wait to see and hear it out in the road - that 330hp 10k revs motor and 895kg should make for a lively driving experience 🏁

day 1 - Porsche Perfection 📸

The first day of the London Concours featured a ‘Porsche Perfection’ display curated by our good friends

Luckily the sun shone through the clouds in the afternoon and we were treated to a flourish of colour on the Sonderwunsch concours class, highlighting some of Stuttgarts finest creations.

The London Concours is held in a unique green oasis in the heart of the city creating a great backdrop for a range of fabulous cars. It makes for a great day out - if you can make it down there in the next couple of days, do it!

Workshop Thursday update (yes, we know! 😂)

We started bright and early with a customers rather lovely 965 in Guards red, in for some diagnostics on an A/C install. Lots of ground covers today and geat to meet the owner!

We also took the opportunity to use the ‘other works van’ (the 911 SC) to drop a A/C system to our neighbours which is going into a flat nose 911.

In the workshop we continue to build up Land Rover Defender stock, as well as topping 911 condenser and fan assemblies. 🔧

Our mechanical engineer joined us on the shop floor to button up the prototype 911 ‘gen2.5’ blower evaporator in time for some hot weather testing.☀️

Behind the scenes, the phones, website and order books are as hot as the UK weather right now, with a record month on the books, so a huge THANK YOU goes out to everyone that supports us and buys our products.🙌

Please be sure to check lead times when ordering, A/C systems are still at 4 weeks from payment. 🏁

A very special car dropped in today for some tweaks to the control system 💻

After a few adjustments here and there we were up and running again, and in today’s 32 degree heat it performed really well.

We can’t say much (anything actually) about this car, or the A/C install, but please take a moment to drink it in. Sublime.

Is your 911 a ‘sweltering sauna’ on hot days? ’s is, (especially when the windows fuse blows - oops!!) as we discover in this recent instalment of the rather excellent ‘Niners’ series created by and the crew 🎥

Our electric A/C makes choosing to drive the air cooled 911 on hot days a simple choice, rather than a conundrum.

And if you also have charging issues, like Georgia does we carry stock of alternators that will keep your battery full 🔋

Check out the Boxengasse channel on YouTube for more fabulous content, and if you’re tired of sweating it out in your 911 over summer, give us a call or contact us via our website.
