Read this wondering what the difference will be to the cars he currently tries to build and no one buys! #overpricedjunk


A new chapter begins...

....countdown to the creation of the latest Paul Stephens Autoart series of restored - bespoke 911s is closing towards an exciting climax.
Our latest Series 2 Classic Touring will be launched at the London Classic Car Show on the 18th February 2016, fittingly in London at the Excel Exhibition Centre. A perfect venue for celebrating over ten years of perfecting an icon in England. The sum of its parts will be truly stunning.

This new series is deliberately styled from a period when design was unencumbered by stifling legislation. The car has been created in-house at our refurbished premises in Essex, with an obsessive attention to detail, meticulous engineering with modern upgrades together with a number of bespoke features to provide a stunning daily sports car for the discerning client. The latest Paul Stephens Autoart cars endorse our original concept by providing the best of both worlds, with pure style and intelligent engineering.

Our stand will also feature a famous Paul Stephens Autoart car brought back to England from it's luxurious location in Monaco with the consent of it's owner. A perfect example of the trust our customers place in us. This bespoke Porsche was created from our Retro Touring R model to the owners personal specification, and is proof of what is possible when you work with the expertise and experience found here at Paul Stephens. We always welcome these very special cars back to our facility in England, often for routine service or performance enhancements, but sometimes we have the cars here purely to celebrate their very existence.

So, please come along to our stand G130 at The London Classic Car Show on February 18th - 21st 2016 at the Excel Centre. Come along and see us, you won't be disappointed and that's a promise!

We look forward to seeing you there.

Paul and Rebecca Stephens

Don’t forget if you can't make it, give us a call on 01440 714884 as we’d love to hear from you.


By the way we are actively looking for new team members. If you are interested, or know anyone who is interested in working in a dynamic automotive environment, take a look at our website

"hand stitched Porsche crests in the headrests"

Try with a machine next time and maybe they won't look so wonky?

If it had a Strosek (copy ideally) bodykit that 'bespoke' interior would immediately make sense.

I am one of the few people who just don't get Singers but I will happily concede the build and finish is of exceptional quality. These 'Autofart' things though I have seen inside and it's not of good quality in my opinion. I reckon my Nan could do a better job of the stitching and that poor old bird turned her toes up 20 years ago.

Having seen the previous 'recreations' this is worse still .
Let's just hope Stevie Wonder or Ray Charles are interested .
Oh, and they have RAC breakdown cover !

That just does not work in a 993.

There are about 4 shades of blue that are all clashing!

Even speedboats have moved on from that style of upholstering.

Plenty of these Firms to choose from so as always best to ask around.
Never heard poor reports from these guys- http://www.autofarm.co.uk/projects/about_recreatio...

Likewise there is a company in Holland that specialise in 'recreations' but very tastefully done and I dare say cheaper than Singer although Singer are a thing of beauty

No real first hand experience but I think purely in terms of craftsmanship and cost!! Singer is light years ahead of all of them.

To be fair, given the cost of them, they should be!

Another consideration when buying a Singer is the import duty. I know of some that didn't factor that in when ordering so subsequently pulled out! They are truly stunning though
