SC Classic carries out complete Porsche 356 restorations, from the Pre-A to the A, B and C generations. Work begins by identifying the car, assessing its condition and discussing the specification to preserve or restore.
Identify before dismantling
Documents, historical photographs and existing components help establish the starting point. Correctness cannot be inferred solely from outward appearance: documented features, previous repairs and details requiring further investigation must be distinguished.
The stages of a 356 restoration
The project may include complete dismantling and cataloguing, body shell and metalwork, preparation and painting, mechanical overhaul, electrical work, component sourcing, reassembly and final testing. Details of originality are addressed alongside the work, with attention to what can be recovered.
Documented decisions
Photographs and work notes make the process traceable. The starting condition, issues discovered and component choices must remain distinguishable from the final cosmetic result. We do not assign a specification to your car without examining the evidence.
Bring your 356 to Cambiago
The initial discussion can begin with the model, year if known, condition and photographs. Visits are by appointment. If the car is not running, we assess transport requirements together before accepting it.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work on every generation of the 356?
Our specialisation covers Pre-A, A, B and C models. The work plan is defined according to the specification and condition of the individual car.
Can you provide timescales and costs from photographs alone?
Photographs help frame the enquiry, but do not reveal every issue. Timescales and costs must be defined after inspection and assessment of the components.
