In today’s PorscheCooled Podcast Michael presents episode 39 of owner stories with David from Auckland in New Zealand. David (like many of us) saw his first Porsche in a magazine when he was a kid. The first 911 David still remembers seeing in the flesh was a new silver 911 Carrera 3.0 optioned with tartan trim. David was blown away. Fast forward through practical and reliable cars, many European hot hatches, MX5s and BMWs before a 911 was added to David’s garage
At 39 David bought his first Porsche, a low mileage 993 Carrera coupe in Silver. A 964 followed. Both these cars are no longer in David’s garage. What is in his garage though, is 1970 911T in Signal Orange. A car that started off as a ‘bit of a wreck’ and has been transformed to a ‘Hot Rod’ 911T. A fully restored and custom ‘70’s 911 powered with a 3.2 Carrera engine. Alongside this is his ’83 911SC Sport, a UK car with the Pasha interior. Then there is the under the radar ’77 Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 which fits perfectly alongside David’s 911s. Having owned 4 generations of air-cooled cars, David has a great story to tell.
