Shows & News
As a long standing Porsche owner, Race Glaze MD Mark Wibberley is delighted to announce that we are again Concours Sponsor for The Independent Porsche Enthusiasts Club Concours 2008 at Gaydon on Sunday 3 August. With a hard core of Porsche owners committed to our products it seemed a natural thing to continue to do. We were there in 2007 to offer advice and practical assistance for fellow Porsche folks, and I even buffed up my 944 Turbo for the Concours. We'll do the former again, and maybe the latter too !
