With great Porsches, comes great responsibility.
$39 million in cars, given the white glove treatment.
Consider for a moment the responsibility we accept when moving a client’s rare and ofttimes irreplaceable vintage Porsche. The entire process requires complete focus, years of experience, and precise choreography. For Labor Day weekend this year, we were challenged like never before.
Lime Rock Park’s Historics Festival is one of the finest annual vintage automobile gatherings in North America. Each year, a noted collector is chosen to be featured under the tent. For 2021, the nod went to renowned architect Steven Harris. Steven’s Porsche collection is truly extraordinary, rivaling the best in the world. We’ve been fortunate to have cared for many of his cars over the years and can attest to the quality, beauty and diversity of his curation.

January, 2020 – Bryan Lagas, the General Manager of Speedsport Tuning and SST Auto, has formally purchased the business. Speedsport/SST begins the new decade with the same staff and department heads clients have depended on, yet with a renewed sense of purpose and a forward-looking mission.
