Image

We were founded by Adrian Crawford in 1991, who was later joined by long-time Porsche enthusiast & repairer, Richard Williams. Williams Crawford is Passionate about Porsche.

Independence: We are experienced & passionate and are an independent Porsche specialist, which allows us the greater flexibility to offer better solutions that suit you, rather than to suit the manufacturer.

Our Team: The team here is big enough to cope, help you when it’s urgent, and respond to the unforeseen. On the flip side, we’re small enough to care and you can speak directly to a real person.

Sales, Sourcing & Selling: Typically, our showroom will have a stock of Porsche covering all eras, from the 50’s through to nearly new. But, if there’s something that’s not in our stock, we have an extensive worldwide network to draw from, which has the potential to source exactly what you’re looking for.

We buy and sell all eras of Porsche, it could be nearly new, or sometimes brand new, through to the Worldwide trade of classic and collectable Porsche.

Service, Maintenance & Upgrades. The service and maintenance for all models is undertaken in our own highly equipped workshop where we apply the same care and love to all Porsche that come through our doors.

Restoration: Our in-house restoration department will breathe new life into any loved Porsche, from world class restorations to small repairs, we do it all! This includes bespoke work and adventure/motorsport preparation.

Porsche 356 Pre A LHD coupe by Reutter 1954

Image

This early Porsche 356 Pre-A is more than just a beautiful classic – it is a genuine piece of Porsche history, reborn with care, purpose, and respect to its remarkable originality.

Discovered in a Texan barn, where it had slumbered since 1978 (with the period license still in the window), this June 1954 bent-screen example displayed an astonishing level of integrity. All major body panels were present and believed original, and there were no signs of crash damage or prior restoration. A true survivor.

Rather than strip away its history, this car was revived with a light touch. Our goal was to create a fully functioning, mechanically sorted 356 that could be confidently enjoyed on the open road – be it for a grand tour, a historic rally, or the revered Mille Miglia.

Refinished in its factory original Turkish red, a shade that complements the elegant curves of the 356. Panel fit and shut lines remain notably good – a testament to its original structure.

Inspired by, and carefully matched to, the original materials uncovered during disassembly, the interior now features pale beige leather with factory-spec corduroy inserts. The radio blanking plate still wears its original trim.

Originally powered by a 1.3-litre engine, this 356 now benefits from a lively 1.6 litre flat-four. With the running gear serviced, rebuilt, or renewed as needed, including brakes and suspension, it is well suited to modern touring and events.

The result is a car that retains the soul of a ‘50s Porsche, but with the usability and reliability demanded by today’s discerning enthusiasts.

Supplied with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. Built by Reutter and delivered to the U.S. in June 1954, this car comes has what we believe to be its original transmission and body panels.

Contact us for detailed photographs and reports. Independent inspections welcome.

Currently UK registered. Worldwide export available - for full details and price see here https://www.williamscrawford.co.uk/show ... tter-1954/

550 Spyder Recreation (alloy body)

Image

A hand-crafted masterpiece.
Revisit the rip-roaring racers of yesteryear.

This beautifully sculpted 550 Spyder recreation oozes nostalgia. Its very presence and soundtrack perfectly channel the atmosphere and drama of the historic 1950s events where the factory-built cars triumphed – Le Mans, La Carrera Panamericana, the Targa Florio, the Mille Miglia.

Our resident 356 authority, Graham Kidd, inspected this example in depth and gave it a firm thumbs-up — high praise indeed. Adrian drove the car and described it as one of the best 356s he has experienced. Even the doors close with that unmistakable, correct ‘chunk’.

Porsche 911 E 2.2 LHD coupe 1970

A genuine Porsche survivor – has never been apart, has never needed to be.
Many 911 of this era have been restored or are in desperate need of it. This pretty little 911 E is different. It is a survivor, a particularly original car inside and out, with a matching numbers engine. If properly cared for, there is no reason why it should ever require any major ‘surgery’.

Porsche 911 3.0 'Special Build' 1982

At just 1,000 kg, with 245 bhp from a 3.0-litre flat-six breathing through ECU-controlled throttle bodies, this is a car built around the pleasure of driving. Everything about it feels focused, responsive and deeply involving — a very serious air-cooled 911, without the need to shout about it.
