Porsche Torque with Alex Manos
The Beverly Hills Car Club founder and CEO shares his views on special edition Porsches and what they mean to him
The visual impression of the 911 is supreme. In my eyes it’s a subtly evolving piece of art. I’m especially fond of the Porsche 911T Targa, which is a great way to experience the rush of top-off motoring. At Beverly Hills Car Club I recently acquired for sale a 1972 model in a rare, exquisite colour scheme of Viper green combined with a black interior. This original blue-plate California car had been with the same owner since 1997. It came with a five-speed manual transmission, flat six 2.4-litre engine, fourwheel disc brakes, Fuchs wheels with Dunlop D60 A2 tyres, jack, tool kit, vintage VDO Kienzle clock and a spare tyre. Also included were the owner’s manual booklet, maintenance book with stamps, and service receipt copies totalling over $31,000 dating from 1988 though to 2000.
