Who and why
Xanadu deals in a carefully chosen selection of vehicles, each of which are stand-outs in their respective discipliines.
We’re based in Devon, England but we source meticulously from all over the world.
While most things are built for profit, some are built for passion. Much to our accountant’s disdain, here at Xanadu we make decisions based on emotion. Things here don’t always make financial sense, but they do make common sense. And they make customers come back - so stick that in your ledger.
Xanadu is part of the ‘Can Do’ community, with a specific skillset and eye for well-made, unique, useful, dependable and enjoyable vehicles.
Inspired by brands and products which got it right the first time, we like cars that are keep-for-life dependable and designed to be timelessly relevant. We started with the Porsche 911 and welcomed other vehicles which sought to achieve similar iconic status in their own fields.
Xanadu is a place where like-minded people can find genuinely great automobilia that don’t merely deliver on the job they were designed to do - but exceed it with verve and without compromise. We leave our customers in cognitive harmony.

PORSCHE 911 Carrera S (991.1)
[COMING SOON]
Yes, the last of the naturally aspirated, non-GT 911 cars. That would make it sound good enough in its own right, but this gorgeous example has the ‘S’ in its name, therefore a 3.8litre engine… and an electronically switchable sports exhaust…
An exhaust for all moods
It also has a switchable sports exhaust: neighbour-friendly one moment, then with the merest press of a well-placed button, you can unleash every note of the rearward mounted orchestra to play as if their lives depended on it.
SPORTS CHRONO PLUS
But there are two more buttons of note in the centre console - not just for the noise they stir… but for the performance they unleash. Sport adds… TBC while Sports Plus … TBC
EVENTS
Occasionally we like to gather with those like and unlike ourselves.
To move, talk, shout, sing, share, eat, celebrate, ideate and if we’re lucky… to see if we can help each other thrive.
And to witness the thriving that has already begun.
