Default Interesting Porsche

Saw this recently - never actually seen one in real life before!!

As it is hard the read the badge - it is a 912 from the '60s.

That's actually quite cool!

Seen a Speedster a couple months back and it was properly beautiful. Couldn't tell you if it was real or not, but it was still very nice.

Prefer the Speedster myself.

This one is owned by a customer of mine.

That's a 1974 Chesil, the proper Speedsters were only made upto around 1965.

And the one's in good nick are worth a fortune.

That 912 was a little scruffy (it was out in all that snow) but I am sure it would clean up really nicely and look really cool.

A real classic car. It was like a Morris Minor inside - nothing like a sports car at all!

Beautiful, and as mentioned, VERY rare

Speaking of speedsters, (it might have been a 356), I met Ian Wright randomly outside a small cafe in the outskirts of London a few years back, he was driving a silver one. We had a little chat, to be honest, I was more interested in the car than I was meeting him. But he was a really nice bloke, and seemed really happy that someone was actually interested in his car, as opposed to the usual football banter
