Our founder, Uwe Meissner, grew up with Ferrari. His father used to work as a paint specialist for the Düsseldorf-based Ferrari importer Auto Becker, and was an expert on the nitro and TPA-based finishes found on old sports cars. At the age of 16, Uwe Meissner became an apprentice at Auto Becker, where he developed a strong passion for the dream cars from Maranello. He had the privilege of working with Ferrari expert Egon Welling, whom he got to accompany on a trip to Maranello. On that trip, he met Enzo Ferrari – a life-changing encounter. After becoming a master automobile technician, Uwe Meissner started his own business in 1983: Modena Motorsport was born. He hired his father away from Auto Becker, and together with today’s chief mechanic, Andreas Stoodt, they quickly gained the trust of many collectors, who had them care for and maintain their cars and help acquire new ones. Today, a team of renowned specialists works for Modena Motorsport. What is more, our direct connection to the Ferrari headquarters in Maranello makes us your first port of call for acquiring blueprints and construction plans, or when you need a spare part reproduced.
