  • The hunt for my first classic is back on! After a tip off from Ed Lovett at Collecting Cars, I visit Tuthill Porsche, arguably one of the best in the business of restoring, rebuilding and maintaining classic Porsche 911 road and race cars.
    Head over to Collecting Cars if you're interested in bidding on the Tuthill Special 911:

    If you’re considering a classic Porsche , targa is the one to go for! Targas look so beautiful. 912s are great but a 911 is a 911. And you’re better off with a 6 cylinder because whatever you do to a 912, you can’t get much power out of that little engine. You spend a lot of your time driving really quick, modern cars, you’ll find the 912 to be slow. I really hope you read this, I suggest you get a classic 911 Targa in the colour of your choice, 2.7 should be good and manual (of course). If you’re on a tighter budget, a 964 911 Targa will be cheaper than a classic 911 but it’ll retain the iconic lines and the air cooled motor and it won’t break the bank at the same time. Loved watching this video, really hope you do more videos about Porsches. ☺️

    I discovered the Weissach Test Track many years ago- via my new mountain bike. At the time Porsche was running the prototype Boxter around it in a mule body. I watched and checked the times improving as they tweaked the brake balance. Anyway, years later my best friend went on to work for Porsche and helped build the 918. Sam I fully support buying a classic car. My choice would be an Alfa Guilia GTA 69 to 71. It’s like riding with Enzo on a budget but without any rev limiter. Pure Italian goodness.

Put that camera inside, and forward. If you don't want to show the speedometer, stick it on roof or windscreen (inside the car too). Also, I want one Porsche 911 of each kind from this guy (who looks like your brother)

    To those of you reading this, that love cars as much as I do, these cars are even better than the videos elude to. You can make it happen, took me a few years, but I got there. My car has been in the rebuild stage for 10 months, and while it pains me to wait, it is well worth it.

    Just finished the video Sam, just do it, classic cars are only going up in value as more people become exposed and have the money spare, I've been running a classic mini as a nearly daily for 5 years now. A classic Porsche is the end goal after a Morgan and a jaguar. go find something and drive the pants off it then fix it yourself or get someone to do it for you. The memories you'll gain and the people you'll meet will make it well worth it.
