    Porsche 911 Magnus Walker
    During 2012, clothing entrepreneur Magnus Walker said that one of his remaining ambitions was to own one Porsche 911 built in each year between 1964 and 1973. Today, he’s going the other way and selling one of them. The car he’s putting up for sale is a 1965 example with a 2.0-litre flat-six engine attached to a five-speed manual. It only has 23,000 miles on the clock, which has been kept low because Walker has a garage full of other 911s to drive.
    Magnus Walker is a Brit who’s living the American dream in California and a man with a passion for the Porsche 911. “I have one from every year except 1973” he said. He stopped this plans to collect an example from each year between ‘64 and ‘73 as “The novelty of having ‘every one’ wore off”. Walker doesn’t just buy road-ready Porsches, he also likes to rebuild them. He estimates that around 80% of his day is taken up under the bonnet of a Porsche 911. This work has also led him to add a few personal touches like drilled door handles and vented Perspex windows. “I want them to have soul,” he explained.
    At the moment he owns more than 40 Porsche 911s. His hobby takes up his time and money but he calls it “definitely rewarding.” He won’t be pressed on why this example is now for sale, but has confirmed that he will never sell his 1964 model as “something like a ‘64 911 cannot be duplicated”.

    How much he will get for the car and whether he will actually let it go when a buyer is found remain to be seen.
