OUR STORY

 
 

BORN FROM OBSESSION

The story of Paul Stephens (the brand) is really the story of Paul Stephens (the individual). It’s a story of passion, determination and obsession, a story that any successful person can appreciate. His obsession for competing and winning, and an unfailing desire to only offer his customers the best, have shaped a business with a deserved reputation for unwavering quality. From its focused beginnings as a specialist car company, Paul Stephens has grown into a respected brand designed for those who live their lives at the same pace as the man himself.

THE HISTORY OF PAUL STEPHENS

  • Paul Stephens has petrol in his veins and the 911 in his heart. Having learnt to drive at the age of six, he had his first drive in a 911 at nine, reaching 100mph on a disused airfield. By 21 he had acquired his first 911, a 2.4E, which is a version he still owns today. Paul started his own business nearly 25 years ago, specialising in sportscars and in particular Porsche - a business fuelled by a passion and enthusiasm for cars.

  • Paul Stephens swiftly gained a reputation for not only the quality of cars he offered for sale, but also the customer service and knowledge of the marque. Not unsurprisingly, it was Paul’s unrivalled understanding of the 911 series and its derivatives that really cemented this reputation and saw the company become the place to go for anything and everything 911. His experience is now held in very high regard.

  • In 2002, Paul began to develop his real vision, Paul Stephens AutoArt - a collection of bespoke-built cars, based on the Porsche 911, that feature classic style with modern features and performance. Officially launched at Brands Hatch in 2005, only a few examples are lovingly created each year. The customer engagement, design and build are all overseen by Paul himself in line with his high standards of quality and attention to detail.

  • Paul Stephens bring the same level of passion, commitment and quest for perfection to everything they do and this has allowed the company to develop into what it is today - a respected brand that strikes a chord with anyone who shares Paul’s dedication to success. From our bespoke builds, through selected original model sales to our high-end design collections, a consistent energy underlines all that we do.

HISTORIC RACING

Paul Stephens learned to drive at the age of six, had his first accident at the age of seven, and clocked his first 100mph run, in a 911, when he was just nine! He went on to race in Caterham, Marcos, Chevron and 911s winning two championships along with several class and overall race wins, before retiring from racing (so he thought) in 2003.

 

A decade later, he returned to the track at the Spa Classic in a 911ST, finishing third in class, competed in the Silverstone 24 Hours in 2015, again finishing third in class and competed in the Le Mans Classic in 2016, finishing twenty third overall and the third 911 home in Plateau 4.
