§ 02 / THE BUILD

A new color, a new cabin.

This 356 Speedster replica rolled in glossy red, but the owner wanted a different car entirely — a deeper, more understated look, and an interior that matched the quality of the body underneath. So we pulled it apart down to a bare shell, back to the tub and the wiring.

It went back together in a metallic gunmetal gray, laid down in the booth panel by panel, with the classic silhouette and chrome trim staying exactly where they should. Inside, new black leather front and rear, a rewired dash with fresh VDO gauges, and a wood-and-chrome Porsche-crest wheel finish off a cabin built to match the new paint. Five months later, it's a different car under the same lines — down to a small lakeside and dockyard photoshoot to send it off right.

A new color, a new cabin.
