  • George Cairns in Fern Tree Gully (again, a bit of a hike.)

I don't have their phone numbers handy but they should all be in the phone book.

  • You could also call Aporschapart (porsche wreckers in Mordialloc) near you and ask them where to find a mechanic in your locale. I would think that they would know just about everybody in the porsche game. Hope this helps - Regards, Rick H

I have recommended Spyder Automobiles on the site in the past for Melbournites. Racebred and Spyder work under the same roof.

  • Spyder Automobiles Pty Ltd
    27 Elma Rd
    Cheltenham North 3192
    ph: 03 9532 0246

Spyder is run by John Gregory who only works on Porsches and specifically older 911's and 356's. He has an amazing 356 Carrera he built himself from the ground up and a lovely 911S 2.7 which he and his son in law have just built.

John's son in law is Mike Jacobson who comes from a racing background (as a driver) having raced 911's in endurance events, 300BHP Ford Escorts, you name it. Mike's business is Racebred Auto Repairs which also works on other performance cars and a lot of racing, Targa Tassie cars etc. He works on a few 928's - one at least of which I am aware races and is highly developed with very big BHP.

I know Mike and John do a number of the Targa Tasmania Porsches each year and a lot of Victoria Porsche Club cars go there. They have strong links to the Porsche Club of Victoria.

Mike has just started the website mentioned above for the business and I thought this might be a worthwhile link for Landshark.

Mike and John have worked on my 928 since I bought it and have absolutely done the right thing by me throughout. (.. as a barrister in Court every day I have learned that not everyone does this!) I get warned before the next occasion when something has to be done and the car has never let me down.
Regards, Steve Carson

I would suggest Sharp Performance in South Melbourne:
  • Sharp Performance
    282 Sturt Street, South Melbourne
    ph: 03 9690 0377

Talk to Argos/George, they usually have a couple of 928's in when I am there, and I use them. They are the Lambo authorised service centre, have a set of rollers, and a spotless shop. There is also usually a couple of Diablo's etc in there. - Regards, Andrew Cowton '84 928S2 Auto - Melbourne
