"'Coming up, Chris Routledge discovers a forgotten British GT.'" "And exactly the kind of car we want to find here, derelict, today." "'Quentin goes for a midnight cruise in Hollywood.'" "My evening is complete." "'Bruno Senna guns for another fast lap.'" "That's gonna make my hair messy." "'And I meet LA's Mr Porsche 911.'" "Hello, and welcome to The Classic Car Show, from our top-secret Brooklands lair in Weybridge, Surrey, just off the A3." "That's not very top-secret now." "But it is no secret, we have another shiny, shimmering show." "Very true." "As always, we start the show with a car picked by Dr Quentin of Willson's all-time classic list." "And, boy, you're in for a treat." "Actually, the car he's chosen is a little bit like Quentin himself." "It's very difficult to age, prone to a little bit of leakage and spare parts are a nightmare to find." "But, basically, what I do is just put a little drip tray under." "I'll have you know, I am leak-free, taxed and tested, one owner, low mileage - low-ish." "Anyway, the car I have chosen, over the last few years has quintupled in value." "But that's not the reason it's here." "It is on my list, quite simply, because it drives like a demon." "(SEAGULLS SQUAWKING)" "The 911, like the Mini and E-Type, is one of the most recognisable car silhouettes ever." "Launched in 1963, it's still being produced today." "But here's something that may surprise you." "1972 911s, like this one, now change hands for £150,000, or $250,000." "How could a half-century-old Porker possibly be worth that much?" "Three simple reasons." "The first, it's an early 911, and people have been going nuts about these for the past five years." "The second is the '70s effect - all these vibrant colours, and that decade of upheaval and change." "And, the third - and probably most important point - is the way this car drives." "It's a 1972 911-S, and I'll tell you all about that in a minute." "But, first, we're going to have a bit of history." "The 911 carried on the success of the beautiful 550 and 356." "It won races, rallies and hearts across the world." "It featured in the opening sequence of the Le Mans movie, and it doesn't get any cooler than that." "The '72 911-S was the most powerful Porsche to date, and sorted the men from the boys." "So, you've got all those things, and then you throw in the fact that this car drives - this 1972 911-S, that Steve McQueen would drive around Los Angeles in at breakneck speeds, and, suddenly, it's become a huge, huge icon." "This is one of the most involving cars I know." "Absolutely incredible." "It makes you concentrate, sweat, worry... ..anticipate, think." "But it's gorgeous, tactile, emotion, from a mechanical object at its very best." "The controls are simple." "Thin, skinny, huge wheel." "Black-and-white gauges, like dinner plates." "Really, really easy to see." "And, already, the stuff going into your brain is Prussian perfection." "This is Teutonic efficiency at its best." "And you're thinking, 'Mm, this isn't a car, this is an instrument'." "It has completely and utterly bewitched my soul." "So much of the modern 911 derives from those early models, but there is one huge omission - and that's the unmistakable sound of an air-cooled engine." "(ENGINE SNARLS)" "It's really hard to put the noise thing into words, but it starts as a busy, mechanical thrum." "And, then, as the revs climb, it becomes a zinging, 7,000rpm snarl, and you just want to go faster, and faster, and faster." "The most incredible thing about these old 911s is this level of communication they have with you." "Everything on the road - every pimple, every slight bump, every little acclivity, comes through this wheel, and these pedals, and this seat, and you are so immediately in touch with the tarmac." "But I think the most powerful thing about these old 911s... is that they can kill you, in a heartbeat." "It's like having the Grim Reaper sitting there in the passenger seat, saying, 'Come on, boy." "Just how hard are you?" "'" "Because these cars had this fearsome reputation of going completely in the opposite direction if you got it wrong on a bend." "If you lift off the accelerator, going into a bend too fast, you'd be 180 degrees in the opposite direction or dead." "But, if you can't afford this wallet-busting widow maker, there is an alternative." "Two numbers and one word - 3.2 Carrera." "Because this is the secret 911, the one that nobody's really heard about." "These were made from 1984 to 1989 and have all the appeal of the vintage Porsche, but none of the really downsides." "It's got a galvanised body so it doesn't rust." "It's just as fast, it's got that lovely 911 silhouette and the Fuchs wheels." "But it's a daily driver, it's really, really tough." "And you can buy these things for around 20 grand now, and they're gonna carry on going up, and up, and up, cos it delivers everything that '70s 911-S does, but a fraction of the price." "And, almost - very, very almost - as much fun." "Modern 911s have got fat, and corpulent and corporate." "This - this is the 911 at its absolute zenith." "People say a proper sports car has to be a Austin-Healey 3-litre, a Jaguar E-Type, an AC Cobra." "No." "This - this is a proper, proper sports car." "Here's the thing." "If this car was made today, it would be banned." "They'd recall it." "Too dangerous, too fast, just too troublesome." "This is raw, this is real, but it is absolutely, millimetrically precise and beautiful, and works like nothing you've ever experienced." "If you get the chance, drive a vintage 911." "I've always been a 911 fan." "I mean, this is a fabulous car, which was taking on some of the iconic race circuits at that time, whether it be Le Mans, the Nurburgring, or the Nordschleife, or Spa." "It's been an incredibly successful car, not just for collectors, but for motorsport enthusiasts, and there aren't many cars which manage to bridge both of those." "To me, it's the most beautiful sports car ever made." "It's just simple, pure, unadorned - just a gorgeous...a gorgeous thing." "If you've never understood 911s, never got what all the fuss was about, hopefully you do now." "But, to be a vintage, classic 911, it's got to have an air-cooled engine, be simple, uncomplicated and pure, and radiate all those '70s messages." "It's crazy to think that, 10 years ago, we could buy these cars for 25 grand, and we thought they were too expensive." "But you could still buy that for 25 grand, and the 3.2 Carrera will make you feel better at the end of your journey than when you started, much like the 911-S." "If you want the perfect daily driver - reliable, turn-key, Porsche 911 classic, here it is." "It's got your name all over it." "Just don't make the same mistake." "Don't leave it too long." "I have to say, I am not and have never been a massive fan of 911s, but she's beautiful, huh?" "I agree with you." "Modern 911s, they have this reputational issue, people who drive them - all sorts of things." "We'd better not go there, Jodie, cos both of us could rant about this." "Pull it in, rein it in." "But those early cars, they have this lyrical handling balance." "They are just so sweet, and they talk to you." "And the purity of line, all that, kind of, Steve McQueen cool, vintage stuff - they're glorious." "You could see in your face that you were actually really enjoying the way it drove." "And I didn't expect it to captivate me that much." "And, I guess that's why - particularly with the 911-S - it's gone so ballistic." "Brilliant." "Well, we're off to a great start, but don't go anywhere, as Chris Routledge unearths another time capsule." "'Coming up, our automotive archaeologist unearths an abandoned British GT.'" "'Quentin takes a journey back to Hollywood's most glamorous era.'" "And this car was made to be here." "'Bruno Senna is back on track in another classic.'" "'And I meet the unlikely king of Porsche 911s in LA.'" "This is outrageous." "But, before all that, our Indiana Jones of the Barn Finds tracks down another automotive antiquity that must be saved." "Chris Routledge investigates." "Look at this, a Reliant Scimitar GTE - one of the great British sports coupes that we ever built in this country." "A fabulous 1960s-'70s British car." "Now, I've had a phone call about a Reliant Scimitar, that's in a yard, it's next to a building that's about to get torn down over the next few days." "I want to get out there, I want to see the car, work out what the car is, before the building gets torn down and we lose the car forever." "Launched at the 1968 London Motor Show, the Scimitar took the exhibition by storm." "But it wasn't until Princess Anne was given one for her 20th birthday that the popularity went through the roof." "Of the two models made, I'm hoping that it's a later SE5a that we'll find abandoned today." "What a place." "This is an old, abandoned dairy in the middle of London, and, somewhere in here, there's an old Reliant Scimitar." "Anyway, it's supposed to be this way." "I think it's around the corner." "There it is." "We've got it." "This is, very definitely, the car." "Fairly typical." "These cars quite often end up being used as tables or storage for all kinds of stuff." "We never know." "Now, this is what I really wanna see." "And that is really what I wanna see." "It's a '75 or a '76 car, which means it's one of the very, very last ones ever made." "It's definitely a 3-litre, which is exactly what we wanted." "There's the badge." "It's a Ford V6 engine, and exactly the kind of car we want to find here, derelict, today." "OK, this looks good." "What's amazing is the state of preservation is exceptional inside this car." "It's pretty dry." "It's completely original, it's got the very late dashboard arrangement, so, again, everything is pointing at it being exactly the right car." "But, the real moment of truth, the taillights." "I want to see if, behind this petrol tank and this old bit of cardboard, are a set of Aston Martin DBS taillights." "If it's carrying Aston Martin DBS taillights, it's absolutely the right car." "And they're absolutely the right lights." "These are the taillights that were built by Lucas." "They were used by Aston Martin, also by Reliant." "Only the 5a had it, with the integrated reversing light, and there's the best words of all - it's a manual overdrive gearbox." "So, what we have here is just about the best possible specification you could ever want to find in a Reliant Scimitar." "There it is." "That's the beautiful little 3-litre Ford V6." "Fantastic little engine, that." "If this car didn't have its engine, which may have been taken out and replaced, that may be a reason why the car was dumped in the first place." "There hasn't been a Reliant Scimitar gone through one of the big sales for, probably, a couple of years now." "The last one that I can find sold for £5,500, plus the premium." "But it's not about the money for a car like this." "It's a Reliant Scimitar GTE - it's a great British car." "That is such a cool car." "And you can't forget that, actually, we were producing some of the greatest GT cars of the '70s." "That period, '60s and '70s, was the most fertile for small car manufacturers." "You had Reliant, you had Jensen, you had AC, you had Bristol, you had Aston Martin, and we ruled the world with these cars." "So it's really important to save things like that." "Yeah, so, what happened?" "Did we save it?" "We did." "The building has been knocked down, the Scimitar was moved, it's in the workshop now, being recommissioned, and it will be back on the road soon." "So that's what this show is all about - finding cars like that, saving them, getting them back on the road." "It's just a great feeling." "And Chris is so good at that, too." "No, he's absolutely brilliant." "I loved how he spotted the Aston lights in the back." "Unbelievable." "Well, anyway, it's not only Chris that's been sniffing around, trying to find these cool classics - so have I." "But I've been taking full advantage of the lair's Wi-Fi and fast Internet connection, and I came across some interesting cars that weren't quite as successful as they were meant to be when they first came out." "So, check this one." "It is, apparently, the car from the future." "It's the swinging '60s London, and, whilst the Beatles were having A Hard Day's Night, these two city gentlemen are having a great day's driving." "Maverick motoring pioneers, they are behind the wheel of the automobile of the future - the Unipower Cube car." "The ultimate in futuristic luxury." "The Cube is the discerning driver's dream, offering panoramic pleasures at every turn." "Quentin, you've got those shoes!" "My footwear is back in fashion!" "(LAUGHS) I didn't know you wore vintage." "And parking, it is a breeze, with blind spots a thing of the past." "With exiting as easy as stepping out onto your patio, with simple slide-action doors and no need to lock." "Just be sure not to leave your valuables on display." "The Cube - it's the future, squared." "Amazing." "Your accent was all over the place." "It doesn't matter " "(IN AMERICAN ACCENT) 'Patio doors.'" "It doesn't matter what accent I do, I always eventually... ..go to American-ese." "Yeah, go to American or Jamaican - one or the other." "The problem with that is, what happens when you get to a corner with that car?" "It would all go horribly wrong." "Or when it rains!" "Did I see any wipers?" "I'm not sure." "No, I don't think you did." "And, actually, I saw them approaching Hyde Park Corner, which is one of the most terrifying roundabouts." "Absolutely." "I would have just been, like..." "But the shoes were cool." "The sh..." "Yeah, yeah." "That's only cos you've got a pair." "Right, now, I've found another one, and this is from a time before health and safety." "This is an experiment, a scientific experiment, from the 1930s." "'If your face is your fortune, you can protect that schoolgirl complexion with safety glass." "And this speedball artist is going to..." "Hey, wait a minute!" "'" "'Are you sure that's the right car?" "Let's rehearse this act once, just to be safe." "After all, that's the only face you'll ever have, and we don't want to take any chances." "OK, now try it.'" "'Uh-oh!" "A slight mistake." "Forgive us, little girl, and consider yourself mighty lucky you weren't behind that glass when it shattered." "Now let's try it all over again, and no more bad guesses.'" "'Ah, what a picture.'" "'All right, Siege Gun, burn in your fast one.'" "'Ah-ha!" "The safety glass turns back even the pitcher's bullet delivery." "Make a note of that in choosing your next car.'" "Brilliant." "The psychopathic pitcher." "Yeah, what was that?" "He was, like, winding himself up." "But, her face." "I mean, she really did recoil, didn't she?" "Because, the first time, he went through two screens." "But her face was not her fortune there, was it?" "Oh, you're so rude." "Catty." "Oh, you're catty." "Anyway, if you liked that one, check our last clip." "Basically, they're trying to convince people that these newfangled steel cars were safer than the wooden ones that they were used to." "So, check this one out." "This will make you giggle." "'Why, this car would stand up even if you pushed it off a cliff." "Oh, you don't believe it, eh?" "Well, let's find out." "Are you ready?" "Here it comes on its death drop, leaping clear of the ledge and landing with crushing impact in the rocky shale beneath." "Let's go and survey the damage." "You naturally expect to find only a heap of wreckage, but, well, judge for yourself.'" "'There is no structural damage - indeed, the entire car." "And the windshield operates with their accustomed ease." "Will the car run?" "I'll say it will!" "There it goes, under its own power." "A real all-around champion.'" "I'm not sure if that was the same car that, actually, they drove off at the end, that they dropped off the top." "This is a world of pre-advertising standards." "Yeah." "Erm..." "But that was a Chrysler Airflow." "Was it?" "'30s car, and very significant." "And there were cars before that that were fabric bodies with wood." "So it kind of marked a turning point." "But there's no way that car..." "No." "..was, A - the same one, and, B - you turned the key and drove off." "The doors, I couldn't believe the doors opened so easily." "And I love those windows." "A great big crease in the roof which is there in one shot..." "Never mind." "Stay with us, as Quentin 'Worldwide' Willson jets off to sunny LA." "And, why not?" "It's all right for some." "'Coming up, creature of the night Quentin explores Hollywood in a classic.'" "'Bruno Senna is out to set another hot lap around the track.'" "'And I take a ride with a Porsche 911 trendsetter.'" "Now, it's usually time to hand over to Alex Riley, who shows us how to buy a five-grand classic." "However, Quentin has said no, because he has taken all that money and jetted off to LA, where he borrowed a classic car and was cruising around Hollywood...at night." "As you know, Jodie, always happy to take one for the team." "In Hollywood in 1955, there was only one car " "Ford's slinky new Thunderbird." "If a group of movie stars had sat down to design their ideal car, this is what it would look like." "Low, sexy, two seats, tons of attitude and a European swagger." "When the Thunderbird came out in '55, it made Chevrolet's Corvette - which had been launched two years earlier - look as attractive as Donald Duck." "Desperate buyers queued for hours at Ford showrooms, just to get a glimpse." "$3,000 bought you V8 engines, a removable fibreglass hardtop, and rocket-ship styling." "Tick some option boxes and you could have electric seats, and even a radio that increased its volume the faster you went." "For 1955, this was futuristic stuff." "In its first year, the Thunderbird outsold the Chevrolet Corvette by a massive margin - 32 to 1." "16,500 Thunderbirds, as opposed to a dreary 677 Vettes." "And that's because Ford had taken their new personal car to Hollywood, and put behind the wheel three of America's greatest personalities." "Movie stars so famous that they would be today's equivalent of God," "Prince Harry and Simon Cowell." "Getting Frank Sinatra in a Thunderbird was one thing, but to also have Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe cruising around Hollywood was a PR miracle." "Instantly, the T-bird became the car of the stars, and Ford couldn't build them fast enough." "Clark Gable, Howard Hughes, Doris Day bought them, too, and it became an iconic thing to do, to drive down Sunset in a '57 T-bird." "So, what does it feel like?" "Well, it's not a sports car." "Ford never claimed it was." "It was their new personal car." "A car that just made you look and feel good, and, if you pushed it on the corners, well, it squealed a lot, and bucked and rolled." "But it doesn't matter, because we're on Sunset Strip, and this car was made to be here." "For just oozing down this historic stretch of Hollywood tarmac, it's perfect." "Listen to that." "(ENGINE THRUMS)" "That lovely, unhurried V8 burble." "In a town that's lined with Bentleys and Ferraris, and Aston Martins and Maseratis, this faded starlet, she can still... (ENGINE BURBLES)" "..turn a head." "1957 was the last year of the Thunderbird, because even though it sold 21,500 units," "Ford bosses wanted something that had a wider market." "Frank, Elvis and Marilyn moved on to Cadillacs, and one of America's prettiest convertibles was no more." "For three glamorous years, the two-seater T-bird was one of LA's dream drives, and the car closely associated with stars, studios and Hollywood in the mid-'50s." "But, here's the thing." "Despite that rich movie heritage, you can still go out and buy a shiny '57 T-bird like this for £25,000." "That is the wheels of Gable, Monroe, Presley, Sinatra, for the price of a new Honda Civic." "There's only one way the values of these are gonna go, and that is up." "25 grand for all that lovely Hollywood stuff." "That '57 Thunderbird is gonna go like that soon." "I know, I'm not denying it's a beautiful car, but that spot was specially allocated for Alex Riley and his five-grand hero." "If you do your maths, you're 20 grand over budget." "Yeah, because you are investing 25 grand which will double, rather than Alex with his five-grand cars, where you might make 500 quid here and there." "Unbelievable." "That car is an investment opportunity." "I have singled it out." "You don't get it, do you?" "Poor Alex." "It will double in value." "Poor Alex." "Poor Alex?" "We want to make Alex rich by choosing the right car, that's going to appreciate fastest." "And that is a '57 Thunderbird." "Mark my words, young lady." "20 grand over budget." "Well, rest assured Alex will be back next time, showing us how to buy a classic car for five grand." "Now, my favourite part, let's go over to our F1," "Formula E, Le Mans, gorgeous racing driver Bruno Senna, to see what he's going to let rip around our track." "Over to track commentator Jack Nicholls." "Nestled on the infield of the classic banked Brooklands circuit, lives this." "A modern 1,200m handling track." "With its mix of challenging corners, it's perfect for this man," "Bruno Senna, to lap some classic race cars." "So, let's find out what he's driving this time." "This one is looking like a convertible car." "Huh." "Oh, what a beauty." "Come on!" "This is..." "Mercedes 1969 280 SL." "That's gonna make my hair messy." "It looks spotless." "It's an amazing, amazing car." "I can't wait to drive this." "Built between 1963 and 1971, the Mercedes-Benz W113 - or the Pagoda SL, as it's more affectionately known - was Mercedes' range-topping sports car." "This is the later 280 SL, boasting 170 brake horsepower, 0-60 in nine seconds, and a top speed of 125mph." "The Pagoda competed in rallies during the 1960s, finishing third in the Acropolis Rally in 1965." "Across the line, then, to start the qualifying lap, comes the Mercedes SL Pagoda." "Down towards the first corner flick," "Bruno Senna on board, as he comes into the right-hander." "It's going to be a challenge to match the E-Type Jaguar, which is the quickest car out there." "This car only has a top speed of 125mph, for example, compared to 160 in the Jaguar, and it is visibly slower out there." "And he's having to work very, very hard at the wheel, is Bruno Senna." "The first split is a 22.964, set by the E-Type." "Here's the line coming up now." "Across he comes." "And its 3.67 seconds down, so it's going to be an impressive job from Bruno Senna if he can rescue any lap time here." "Down towards the final couple of corners." "Through the right-hander, and then into this long, never-ending final corner." "He'll tuck the nose in and try and get the power on all the way around." "You can hear the tyres squealing for mercy, as he understeers towards the edge of the circuit." "Keeps it all together, though." "The time to beat, a 51.002." "We've already had that time elapse." "Across the line comes the Pagoda." "A 57.01 - some eight seconds down." "Let's see what he thought of that." "That was hard work." "Er..." "This car is very impressive, because it has a really nice, delicate chassis, but the gearbox is, like, has the will from hell." "Sometimes it goes into no gear, sometimes it goes into fourth gear, so every time you turn into a corner, it's a new adventure." "Shame about the gearbox, because otherwise you'd be going pretty fast." "What is going on now?" "Bruno's nicked my car." "Will you boys start behaving yourselves?" "Anyway, the poor Pagoda stood no chance up against those other race-specced cars, so went into last position with 57.012." "Jodie needs a moment or two to cool down, so, stay with us, because she will be back with some Porsche action of her own." "'Still to come, I head out to LA to meet a 911 specialist with a difference.'" "So, you see here, we're just sort of having fun." "But, before Jodie has her own 911 adventure, it is that time again." "Time to show you some underrated classics that might just make you a profit." "And..." "Oh, and it's a fast one." "BMW M5." "Now, lots of interest in the M5 at the moment, and prices are climbing." "It is, as we know, a super saloon, but the reason this car is so coveted is its performance figures." "Look at this." "160mph, and 0-60 in 5.5 seconds." "Now, we've kind of missed the boat on the money a little bit, because...three years ago you could have bought one of these for 5,000 quid." "They are now £10,000." "So that is an appreciation of 100% in 36 months." "But they are still outrageous value for money." "What should you get?" "Well, you want a post-'91, 3.8 V8, with the optional six-speed gearbox." "And, if it's a nice, straight, original car with a service history and less than, say, 75,000 miles, you should definitely, definitely buy it, because this is the last of the hand-built BMW M super saloons." "Really, really collectable." "You won't regret buying one of these." "Nor will you regret this one - the Porsche 944 Turbo." "A supercar, but don't get confused with the 924 or the 944 - this car is as fast as a Porsche 911." "We are talking 150mph plus, and around 60 in six seconds." "A really, really quick, quick car, but so undervalued." "Look, £5,000 buys you a reasonable 944 Turbo, and they will go up." "Look at the prices on our website." "So, I think they will become as collectable as a 968 Club Sport, and be one of those hot vintage Porsches in no time at all, just because of this car's abilities." "So, if you can find one now, what should you look for?" "Again, nice, unspoiled, reasonably low-mileage, original car." "Best colours" " Grand Prix White, and Guards Red." "Next, here's something a little bit off the wall." "Mini 1275 GT." "Now, this is here because it is a legend." "And Mini Cooper values have gone stratospheric, so the 1275 GT Mini will do exactly the same thing, because it has the same DNA." "A wonderful A-Series engine, twin carbs, giant-killing handling." "So you're talking about 100mph and 0-60 - 13-14 seconds, but it's that lovely British Leyland Clubman-esque look to the car which is gonna make it so, so, so desirable." "Money-wise, they are moving up." "£10,000 for a nice one, but you can still find them for around £4,000-£5,000." "What should you look for?" "Make sure it's got matching numbers, that it's reasonably straight and original, and, remember, they are gonna be going near £20,000, so if you can buy a cheap one now, spend some money on restoring it," "you will reap the benefits." "Oh, not again!" "Ah, good, it's worked!" "What's worked?" "Well, I installed this fingerprint recognition, and basically put myself as administrator system operator." "System administrator?" "I will teach you how to work it, don't worry." "I'll give you access..." "Access!" "..but I think there's much more important things to do." "Is there?" "Like when I met a man about a Porsche." "When you think of LA, names like Sunset Boulevard or Hollywood jump to mind, but, actually, there are some super-cool places, like the one I'm in at the moment, which is the Arts District." "And, behind these doors of these industrial warehouses, is a man who is redefining a classic mark." "Magnus Walker exploded onto the classic-car scene in 2012, with the release of the film 'Urban Outlaw', detailing his 20-year love affair with Porsche and his unrivalled collection of classic 911s." "Magnus!" "Hey, Jodie!" "How are you doing?" "It's a pleasure to meet you." "Pleasure to meet you, too." "I'm not sure - is it a handshake, a double kiss, a hug...?" "A double kiss." "Double kiss, absolutely." "Listen, I've heard so much about you." "Erm and also a man after my own heart, you love fashion and you love classic cars." "So, I'm intrigued to hear your story." "Well, it's a long story." "I don't how much time you've got, and maybe this much of what you've heard is possibly true, but, you know, we do a few things." "We are in the clothing business." "I accidentally fell into the fashion game through rock 'n' roll, and, along the way, acquired a few Porsches." "So, why don't you come and take the tour?" "I'll show you around and we can show you what we've got." "I'd love to." "Let me show you the rock-'n'-roll end of what we do here." "We do a few things." "Look at this!" "Wow!" "So this is our, sort of, punk rock, rock-'n'-roll clothing section, with all the old patterns." "And, as you can see, the old cutting table's now utilised for laying out Porsche parts." "Look at your fender, I love it." "You've got a cutting table with a fender on it." "I mean, the table's great for doing fashion, laying out T-shirts - there's our new Get Out And Drive stuff." "This is the latest thing that I'm working on." "What is this?" "I've been known for doing little signature touches, so the latest one is actually a curved, louvred fender, which is something that's never been done on an early 911." "You'll see a louvre on, like, a slant-nose or a 917, 918, 919, but they're generally flat fenders." "So what we did here was - essentially it does aid cooling - but it was just more of what I like to call 'pissing off the purists'." "(LAUGHS) A sharp edge there so you might want to be careful." "That is awesome." "Wow!" "So, step into my office, Jodie." "We knew you were coming, so we got out the flag." "Good lad!" "Love it." "I spend a lot of time here, coming up with concepts and videos." "A little bit of my racing history here." "That's brilliant." "Well done." "So, this is where we used to live, Jodie, myself and my wife." "Wow!" "It is so cool!" "So, yeah, as you can see, it's a mishmash of styles, from, sort of, pseudo-Gothic English stately home to " "You need to do, like, interior design as well." "Oh, so this was where the magic happens?" "Well, the master bedroom, yeah." "The master bedroom." "Yeah, a whole lot of magic going on here, yeah. (LAUGHS) It's awesome." "Magnus's house is incredible, but behind this door is what I've really come to see." "Step on in and check it out." "Wow!" "This is outrageous." "So, this is my favourite part of the building." "This is sort of why I feel I'm the luckiest guy, having, you know, the toy room, so to speak." "Essentially, what I've got here is a collection from '64 through '73, and then the centre row is - I caught this dose" "I'm quite speechless." "It's awesome!" "Why Porsche?" "Porsche is just a great car." "It's interchangeable, it's relatable." "Yeah." "And, compared to Lamborghinis and Ferraris, they're affordable and they're driveable." "Magnus's favourite car is his beloved 277 - a 1971 911T, that is a fully street-legal racing monster." "Off we go!" "Finally." "She sounds amazing." "Oh, yeah." "We can rev it up to 8,000." "She doesn't have a lot of power, but, you know, we're now at 7,000." "I can't hear you!" "7,600." "I can't hear a word!" "You're gonna have to shout!" "It's just intoxicating how nimble the car is." "The 277 is Magnus's signature 911, and he can't resist showing off the sound of that air-cooled engine." "So we're at 8,000." "And now I'm gonna down-shift." "So, it's just such a raspy, throaty..." "It is." "It's really..." "Rargh!" "It's right there." "That's brilliant." "So, see here, we're just sort of having fun." "For me, the great thing about driving these early 911s - especially the 277 - is every time you get behind the wheel, it's an adventure." "That's what these early 911s represent - an adventure behind the wheel." "You know, maybe there's faster cars out there, but this car's really involved - you're alive." "Cos you've got to be alive to be in control of the car." "Yeah." "You might just be turning me." "I think it's only a matter of time before you er... you're sliding down the slippery slope of first-time Porsche ownership." "You have." "Thank you so much for the most incredible day." "And it's been so inspiring meeting you, hearing your story." "It's just been amazing, and you're completely inspirational." "Well, thank you very much." "It's been great having you down here." "It's been an emotional day for me, so, thanks for stopping by beautiful downtown LA, and we'll see you on the open road." "And, like I always say, get out and drive - pedal to the metal." "Pedal to the metal." "All-righty, take it easy." "You're a superstar." "High-five and we're outta here." "High-five, 911!" "Thank you!" "It's been emotional." "It has." "# The devil's gotta get paid" "# When the man comes down the way #" "I mean, Magnus, really - a good driver, but drives like a lunatic." "So fast that his beard was being sucked out the window." "Yes!" "But, welcome to the world of vintage Porsches." "Now, you and I, we're clear on this, we don't like the fat-bellied, wide-waistbanded, golf club, modern Porsche." "No." "But those early 911s, it's another world." "And what I loved about Magnus is the style thing." "Yeah." "You know, just put that vent on that wing, and let's just push the boundaries." "Absolutely." "No, and I had a little go in the car, and, I have to say, to drive it was extraordinary." "I mean, it was the handling - fantastic - and it stuck to that road like a magnet." "It was brilliant to drive." "We have both been converted, haven't we?" "I know." "And I think there's a time now in my life when I will go out and get a vintage 911, if I can find one that's cheap enough." "I might just follow." "And I think you might do." "Cool, cool car." "We have been turned, ladies and gentlemen." "That, sadly, though, is all we have time for." "Thank you very much for watching and goodbye." "Bye!"
