Porsche 918 Spyder
A historic car hub in Germany
The Glinicke Group, which operates a Porsche dealership in Kassel, Germany, has opened the Porsche Classic Center, a historic car service center.
Based in the central German city of Kassel, the Glinicke Group, a Porsche sales partner for 75 years, has opened Germany’s first Classic Center. In addition to restoring and servicing historic cars and supplying spare parts, the Porsche Classic Center will also serve as a gathering place for the Porsche community.
With the opening of the Porsche Classic Center in Germany, customers of current models as well as owners of historic cars will now be able to enjoy sustainable support with specialized and individual know-how. Alexander Fabig, Vice President Customization & Classic at Porsche AG, said:
“For many of our customers, Porsche models are treasured possessions in their garages. This is why our historic car support projects are so important to us. We are delighted to now be able to expand our historic car consulting and support services in Germany, Porsche’s home country.”
Historic Porsche cars also for sale
The Porsche Classic Center in Kassel not only restores and maintains historic cars, but also sells them.
The Porsche Classic Center in Kassel, with its state-of-the-art showroom and workshop, offers professional restoration and service, as well as the sale of historic cars, and always has a stock of more than 80,000 spare parts for vehicles that were discontinued more than 10 years ago.
Kassel will be the fifth Porsche Classic Center in Europe, with locations in France, the Netherlands, Norway and Switzerland, and will also support 19 classic partners in Germany.
The Glinicke Group, which acquired the rights to sell Porsche 75 years ago, has opened the new Porsche Classic Center at the same location where the Porsche 356 was first sold in the 1950s. Florian Glinicke, Managing Partner of Glinicke Automobile Holding, commented at the opening ceremony:
“Porsche is more than just a car brand. It is a symbol of passion, exceptional quality and the automotive dream. The Porsche Classic Centre in Kassel is a place where the tradition and history of this legendary brand are kept alive.”
Rare historic Porsches on display alongside the Röhrl
Walter Röhrl took part in the opening ceremony, which was attended by a total of 356 guests. The event included an open workspace and an exhibition of rare historic models.
A total of 356 guests attended the opening ceremony, including motorsports legend and WRC champion Walter Röhrl as special guest. Rare historic Porsches such as the 959, 918 Spyder, and 917 were on special display at the venue, and the highlight of the ceremony was the presentation of a certificate of recognition as the first Porsche Historic Center established in Germany.
The Glinicke Group will begin construction of new buildings at the Porsche Centers in Kassel and Minden in 2024, with both scheduled for completion at the end of 2025.
