I would normally suggest having a chat with some of the enthusiast types that meet in Armacao de Pera on the first Sunday of every month but alas the virus has rendered them unable to drive. Try here for advice... https://www.algarveclassiccars.com/ it's the same group of friendly proud people.

Be a little wary of the Porsche dealer in Faro, they are pretty awful. Hardly any stock, nothing available to test drive, looks shut most of the time even before the epidemic. I was after a 718 Spyder last year and just got no where with them.

I know a mechanic in Portimao, ex race team guy.
Has an unassuming little shop. eyeglasses like cocacola bottles, doesn't speak English.
But he's good. Just point, or draw a picture, he'll get it.
