Chris could only dream of owning a car like this until three years ago when he purchased a 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Euro Spec originally from Switzerland.

On December 17th 2018, Lordco Auto Parts embarked on a significant expansion by unveiling its flagship store in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. This location marked a pivotal moment in the company's history, replacing its former location in Coquitlam on Westwood Street, which had been serving customers since 1984. The store, situated at 1970 Oxford Connector, boasts an impressive 31,651 square feet, making it one of Lordco's largest locations.

This state-of-the-art facility introduced a fresh retail design concept, signaling Lordco's commitment to modernization and enhanced customer experience. The store features an extensive offering of aftermarket automotive parts and accessories, showcasing products from all 11 of Lordco's product divisions. With over 12,000 square feet of retail space, customers can explore a wide range of automotive solutions under one roof.

A standout feature of the flagship Port Coquitlam store is its specialized 2,500 square foot Truck Centre, highlighting the latest in truck accessories. This dedicated space caters to the growing demand for truck customization and reflects Lordco's adaptability to market trends. The move to this larger, more modern location allowed Lordco to provide better service to its loyal customers. This expansion not only showcases Lordco's commitment to growth but also reinforces its position as a leading aftermarket automotive parts distributor in Western Canada.

This 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Euro Spec is a truly timeless vehicle produced by Porsche. The 3.2 liter, naturally aspirated air-cooled engine is a traditional piece of German engineering. Chris the owner, purchased this vehicle in Kelowna British Columbia after it was originally brought over from Switzerland to Vancouver British Columbia. A car he could only dream of owning for as long as he can remember that finally came true three years ago.

The vehicle is nearly entirely original with a few subtle changes being made aesthetically and performance-wise. The car was slightly lowered in the front and rear creating a lower, balanced appearance while improving the handling of the car as it carves through the canyons. The interior was left untouched for the most part besides a new steering wheel and aftermarket head unit being installed in the car. The steering wheel was changed to improve the feel of the car as it rolls over every bump as well as improve the overall aesthetic. Although some Porsche purists may be bothered by the aftermarket head unit, it’s an important piece that allows for modern amenities without taking away from the interior's original beauty. It is easy to get lost lost in the colour and lines of the vehicle, admiring every piece of it, a perfectly balanced moment.
