Tognola Engineering - Small But Perfectly Formed
Small is best, according to Peter Tognola. The man with the enviable
reputation as one of the UK’s leading independent Porsche specialists has never
employed more than a handful of people in over 25 years
in business, and believes the personal touch is what makes for success, as well as a satisfied
Porsche owner.
Thread your way down a predominantly residential street in Datchet, Berkshire, within
exhaust note of the busy M4 motorway, turn into a narrow drive between two houses and
you’ll reach Tognola Engineering. Currently, it’s just Peter and Greg Cranmer, in amongst
Porsche of all ages – from a Carrera 2.7 RS, through 964 and 996 road cars, to a brace of
993 RS track-day machines and an historic 911 racer,
just waiting to be used.
More on those modern-day classics later – now back to Peter Tognola. Almost always a
Porsche man, he studied at Chelsea College of Automobile and Aeronautical Engineering in the
early 1970s. He then worked part-time at Porsche specialists, Autofarm, before setting up
his own business – first mobile and then with premises in the former boatyard backing on the
River Thames at Datchet.
