In the world of classic cars, there are enthusiasts, and then there's Ludovic – a man whose unwavering passion and dedication to vintage automobiles have culminated in a remarkable project.

This journey is set to reach its zenith at the 2024 edition of Le Mans Classic, the most prestigious vintage sports car race in the world, where he will be able to present the results of his work to an audience of experts and enthusiasts.
Driven by Passion
Ludovic's lifelong love for cars was sparked in his childhood, as both his father and grandfather were auto body technicians, immersing him in the world of engines from an early age.
In his pursuit of a "passion car," Ludovic stumbled a hidden gem: the Porsche 914. This lesser-known model, overshadowed by the iconic Porsche 911, captured his heart. It marked the beginning of a remarkable decade-long journey.
“I wanted to find myself a small "passion car"…This was the winning combo: a car that no one has, an atypical look and a great engine.”
– Ludovic
Ludovic's journey to restore his Porsche 914 has been going for 10 years. He has insisted on using only original parts, tirelessly searching for rare components that preserve the car's history and craftsmanship all around Europe. His garage has become a sanctuary of authenticity, a place where every detail matters.
Racing for Glory in Le Mans Classic 2024
