This restomod XNUMX from Great Britain in an elegant way gold we can not withhold from you. He calls himself 911K and comes from the house tuthill under the direction of company boss Richard Tuthill. And the vehicle indicates the tide Restomod conversions based on the Porsche 911 goes on incessantly. The Wardington Company (County of Oxfordshire/England) has specialized for years in restorations and to carry out the service on classic Porsche models.

The former were made with specially made Calipers combined and the chic round pieces that in The brake system sits, which the tuner installs in the dimensions 7 × 15 and 9 × 15 inches.

One backseat is no longer available, by the way, but the cabin is happy about one Titanium roll bar and one made of carbon dashboard.
countless custom-made products in the cabin
That too Steering wheel or the lever of hydraulic handbrake as well as the Door panels are custom-made for the 911K. Countless little details like a shift knob made of titanium, seat covers made of leather with fabric in "Ultra Fabric" or the high quality pedals from the Porsche motorsport shelf impressively round off the changes on the inside.
