A blue 930 turbo is good, but so is your 964, both different characteristic cars. Magnus I think is eyeing the early turbos, so hurry before everyone jumps at it Something Magnus is not telling us;-)

That's pretty much it. But it had some RWB esq wheels. Looked so mean.

Staying on the subject of blue Porsches, his early 911 cars even in their original state are beautiful, owning one of ever year Magnus has achieved. I guess when you see images like these, we are huge suckers.

Think silver Porsche for Magnus and for us would be a favourite as you can see his 65 and his green 66.



more pics later.

Always amazed what he's able to do with simple tools.

When I mentioned Magnus Walker to him and what he's doing, he hadn't a clue who he was. Couldn't believe it as they only live 35 miles apart and both are into cars? Some of us live thousands of miles away and know both.

Anyhow as Norm says, you could spend hours in Magnus garage just looking to these nice early 911's.

Tom, a friend has a really cool 930 turbo now in red with the same wheels and trick too, recently in the Porsche Magazine photoshot in the City of London.

A very small world indeed especially when his unit next to my friends house down in the trendy part of L.A. Which was used to be the meat packing district. Now its a cultural, studio, arty area.

This is an exclusive for 964 Rennlisters. On the day the SWB 911 came back to Magnus's unit fresh from the bodyshop. Newly painted, you could say we captured this first hand before anyone else had seen it. Well same time as Magnus
