About Spyder Automobiles

Together Lisa Gregory & Mike Jacobson offer 40 years’ Porsche experience. We are passionate about our craft & share a love of air-cooled Porsches. We’ve owned several 356s & 911s, driven & cared for hundreds & we’ll be doing the very same for many years to come.  We are continuing a great tradition of unique & unequalled service.  John Gregory was renowned for his excellence in Porsche repairs & service since 1958, first at the helm of Carrera Motors & then as Managing Director of Spyder Automobiles. Daughter Lisa joined Spyder in 1983 as John’s PA & Son-in-Law Mike joined the team in 1990. A family business with wife Jean involved until illness forced her to step back. Today, we still operate as a family business; one which offers old fashioned service & care. We like it that way! Our clients always deal with us – the ones who work on the car. We book the job, we carry out the repair, we road test the car & we invoice it. You speak with us directly about your car – always. We run a small but highly skilled operation complete with Porsche Factory tooling & a vast amount of knowledge gained from years of experience both in the workshop & on the track.  

We have set up this blog to share with our friends what we get up to when not working on the cars. Our official website shall contain all the business information; this blog is for the fun stuff!
