Owner Testimonials
1982 Porsche 911 RSR Backdate aka the ‘CSF 911’
”As a 15+ year professional in the automotive high performance aftermarket industry, I’ve interacted with countless manufacturers, fabricators, and shops. I can wholeheartedly say that you won’t find a better Porsche restoration company than SV Auto. Being from Southern California and through my network of contacts, I had my pick of any shop willing to take on my personal 911 backdate build back in 2021. I chose to work with Simo and his team at SV Auto, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my career. I couldn’t be happier with the quality, high level of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and pure driving experience of my one-of-a-kind Porsche restoration by Simo and the team at SV Auto. Not only did the entire experience through the vehicle build process exceed my expectations, the after sales support and care that SV Auto has taken on to maintain and support the vehicle has been exceptional. The entire process of building the CSF 911 has been truly collaborative and I can’t thank Simo and his entire team enough for giving me the chance to work with them. I can’t wait for my next project with SV Auto!”
- Ravi Dolwani, owner of CSF Cooling & the CSF 911
“I’ve been a ‘car guy” since I was 15. Passion for all sorts of moving things… it’s rolling art!
I was actually a Journeyman Auto painter/Restorer many years ago, and restored many of my own cars as well as commissioned many.
In 35 + years of doing this, meeting a man like Simo is truly a “needle in a haystack”. VERY rare to still have passion like a boy yet the experience of a precise perfectionist. Always ready to “bend” the status quo and NEVER quit till he’s satisfied…well beyond the rest of us.
I could never put into words the experience and value Simo brings other than true excitement!!!”
