1951, Algiers. Henri Cachia, a young, passionate mechanic, sees a Porsche 356 Cabriolet arrive in his modest workshop. The car is in bad shape, its gearbox is completely out of order. Finding parts for this model in Algeria was impossible. Henri therefore decides to pack his bags and head to Germany to get supplies at the source.
Arriving in Stuttgart, he is disappointed, the part is not available in stock. However, Ferdinand Porsche himself, won over by the Frenchman's determination, offers him to stay and do an internship in his workshops.
A few days later, Henri leaves for Algeria with his parts, but above all with wonderful memories and an exclusive distribution contract for Algeria.
Another Porsche 365 T5 bought by Henri Cachia in Algiers in 1961 is currently being renovated in Germany after a stay in America.
