I worked in an independent VW & Porsche shop in beginning of the 70's and I have to say that you understand the 356, 912, early 911's when you say you want to just keep on driving. These cars were the last of the purely mechanical cars and others would go faster but with less satisfaction. I do wish you had taken a shift at redline just to hear the Porsche rasp that you got on the shift.
Donald is a true classic. Just like the 911 ! 😎
I love your intimate story at the end; thanking your big brother for (I suspect) helping you become interested in cars because of his passion. Thanks Donald for sharing some deep insight about your early life.
Thank you for your kind words!
Well done Donald
Donald's barely restrained giddiness while driving that beauty really makes me miss my '73 911E and that very same feeling I got every time I got behind her wheel.
Well put Donald. There is something truly magical about a early 911.
Beautiful machine. True classic. With the classic automobile journalist. Sir Donald Osborne. Never driven a 911. But I've ridden in a newer model. Nice and cool.❤❤🔥👌😎
Very well presented Donald, you nailed it perfectly. I love my 73.5 911T.
Donald Osborne is incredibly knowledgable, and I thank Jay Leno for introducing me and many others to Donald through his show.
I don't expect I'll have an opportunity to drive this beautiful car. I appreciate the description! Great job!
Thank you for the kind words!
Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Leno often quips that Ferrari owners brag about how few miles their cars have while Porsche drivers brag about how many miles are on theirs.
Hi Donald . Is Arch a fond and loving memory like my brother Norbert ? Gone but never forgotten 💖 When you said SWB I immediately thought 912. In the mid 1980's l restored / rebuilt a very badly repaired one , this was when Porsche were the world leaders in keeping a record of any parts used to keep that car on the road. Porsche would not issue parts to any car without the fullest details . .And then l promptly restored an absolute wreck of a 911 T sportomatic and had the priviledge of using Glasurit 54 line for the first time . The best ever base coat / clear system full stop ! I also had the opportunity of giving a '74 Carrera absolute beans on a short but hilarious test drive ! What a hoot ! Thanks Donald . As Bing would sing ...thanks for the memory!
@johndavey, fortunately, my brother Art is still a vital force with us here! Thanks for watching!!!
@@Zagato67 My apologies Donald . I absolutely adored my big brother he was 6 years my senior . And back in the '60 's/ 70's we had so much fun . Norbert bought a new TR6 and l had , at 19 , a Triumph 2.5 pi saloon . We literally used to chase each other through the streets and roads of Torquay at outragious speeds that today would have probably put us both behind bars !!! Norbert , in spite of being well liked by all who met him sadly took his own life in 2001. Still miss him. Once again , my apologies Donald .
This video captures the essence of the emotional connection to a Porsche. Thanks Donald!
Thanks Donald. Love to have that 911 !
Pittsburgh Porsche lover here, and noticed the Pennsylvania plates.
Sweet, sweet sound and a snappy dresser behind the wheel - refinement.
That interior is fantastic with its simple, clean, and tactile appearance. How I wish auto makers would turn back the clock a little, ditch the tablet on the dashboard, and make the experience more about the drive.
Thanks for your efforts Mister Osborne.
Excellent review of an amazing classic.

Very nice closing tribute to Art! Such a beautiful and rewarding car. Thanks Donald for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I don't think you can stop smiling when driving a Porsche in nice twisting and bobbing roadways - nice ride!
We agree! We have some more exciting Porsche videos being released soon so hit that subscribe button! bit.ly/3RjleYp
Really enjoyed this, and the story at the end was touching. Early 911s (and 912s) are some of the greatest driver's cars ever made.
It's interesting you mention the linearity. I remember in a period magazine test of the early 911 the driver noting that the car maintained the same handling attitude from normal driving all the way to 10/10s at the limit, which made it more confidence inspiring to drive quickly than the FR cars in the test, which tend to handle very differently at the limit than they do at 8 or 9/10ths.
Thanks, @verdict1163! I’m so grateful to be able to share my experiences and that you appreciated it!
These videos have improved A LOT. Love the camera angles.
Glad you are enjoying! We are always looking to improve the quality of our content. It's nice to know our recent decisions and changes are being well received!
Wonderful
Thank You Sir! I enjoyed my 77 911S Sunroof Coupe. 22 mpg all the way up to 85. Stable as a rock! Wish I had it back, along with my 32 Plymouth PB Rumble Seat Coupe during my college days...
I remember well the first time my Dad pointed out a 911 to me in 1979 and looking at the profile the Fuchs it looked remarkable to 5 year old me. I had come home from hospital from birth in Dads 356 and had seen Ferraris and exposed to many special cars over my life but can see that 911 in my mind to this day. Lovely presentation beautifully articulated experience.
Great video! Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I bought an Irish Green '67 911 (non S) when I was in college in Southern New England. Being an New England car it had rusty floors that the previous owner had fiberglassed over and then undercoated. Of course, all I saw was 911 and didn't really pay attention to that when I bought it. I just remember it was sublime to drive around MA and RI. As you say, it cemented by deep love for Porsche and the 911. I currently have a g body (1980 SC) that I like driving around, but I still miss that '67 45 years later.
Really enjoyed the ride along! Thanks for sharing and the driving perspective!

@@MikesRestorations Thanks!
Hit the nail on the head with the familiar shapes being appealing to youngsters. 911’s and Jeeps were my first and enduring favorites since childhood. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm and knowledge,sir.
Thanks for sharing! We might be doing a video on a few vintage Jeeps soon. Consider subscribing to not miss it! bit.ly/3RjleYp
your description of a 911 was spot on! Our 2022 carrara 4S feels like my old 911. they kept that visceral feeling a little bit, even in the new ones. Great vid!
29K = garage queen. Consider the miles Not covered in 55 yrs. Ferry rolls in grave. Keep driving Don.
I have a few 911's/Carreras. But my fav is a 1965 911. Slooooow -- but such a happy place.
Wow! Now don't tell anyone🤣! This car is as old as I am and has just slightly less horsepower than my Alfa. I love it.👍🏽
Not “old”… “classic.”😉
That’s my bucket list wish right there. Nice job putting it all into words, Donald.
Thanks for the support! Make sure to subscribe to never miss any of our upcoming Porsche videos! bit.ly/3RjleYp
@@AudrainMuseumNetwork Thanks for the invite. I’m such a fan of old, light-weight, air-cooled Porsches. I really like how you expressed that the 911 “feels as if it was carved from a solid block”. That’s almost exactly what I said when I got to ride in a wonderful ‘68 911 a few years ago! It’s also uncanny how one feels the nuances of the road surface yet the ride is so smooth. Thanks again for reminding me!
Donald....many many thanks for such a BRILLIANT review of the original Porsche 911S. I just LOVE these cars and your driving review was clear, factual and to the point ! In fact Donald, I saw this model at the Porsche factory in 1967 with my father when the 911S was just released. I still have all of the factory brochures that represented this car including the large brochure which was presented in an envelope including the color card and the price list. These brochures are as close as I will ever get to an original 911S Porsche ! many many thanks, gerhard a. hendricks (Australia)
It was very fun, educational, and entertaining to take a virtual drive with this gentleman. He “gets it.”
Awesome machine, and I swear I saw the hair on the back of your head stand up when ya PUNCHED it.
BRAVO!
Thanks for watching our videos!
@AudrainMuseumNetwork
As a car enthusiast, the gratitude is all mine and makes the day in a wheelchair bearable.
THX🙏
One of your all time best drives. And here's to your brother, Art. Thank you.
This is good! Hearing about your dad living near the dealership and all. I can understand the want for this model car or any Porsche. So cool. Thanks.
Living Legend____Go Strong
Live Long
And the cars not bad either, Donald!
great little car
Sweet little machine
Thank you and congratulations for telling us in detail what the soul of a 911 is and sharing it with us. 🙏👍
Donald, you get it.
Thanks for enjoying the video! Please consider subscribing to never miss any of the action! bit.ly/3RjleYp
Donald nice video on this early 911!!! Anche il suo abbigliamento è perfetto x questa macchina! Complimenti!
Grazie Mille!
Yeah buddy! This is it!
Beautiful color! Excellent presentation, Donald!
Excellent
Thank you so much 😀
SWB the most beautiful of 911s
One of the best! Consider subscribing for more Porsche content! bit.ly/3RjleYp
@12:45 Butzi really had an eye for beautiful lines
Hello Donald. I could use a few bars of that operatic voice. Basso?
@chriscadman, I’m a baritone!
I had one of these 67S puppies for many years. They don’t really sing under 5000rpm but the scream at 7000 is special. Too bad it was raining
Nice! Consider subscribing for more Porsche content! bit.ly/3RjleYp
Great video, thank you. I’d love one, to test on track and drive sedately on road. I have a 280SL from January ‘68 ( really early one). Different car, but wonderful. I’ll have a look see and see what I can afford. The 280 is a keeper. I can see anyone with your car would never part with it.
Great video as always, Donald! That is a true Porsche 911 - not the bloated fat Elvis version being produced currently.
The familiarity is easy to explain. The 911 was inspired by the 356, which itself was inspired by the VW Beetle so the friendliness comes ultimately from everyone’s Love of the Beetle. Hence we love its Grandchild, the 911. All from Ferdinand’s family.
ill take it
The good life…
glad you drove it but wet roads in Newport are salted by the sea breeze.sure they will rinse it well..
Oh, don't worry, she was washed and detailed very shortly after the drive! But we don't like to let a little rain get in the way of a spirited drive. All of our Cars & Coffee events are rain or shine, as well as our Concours & Motor Week, and most recently, our Veteran Car Tour! Check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/T6_9rXanSpI/v-deo.html
There is something so cool about driving 100 year old, wooden cars in the rain!
To Art 🥂
😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍
Awesome review!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
