There is an old saw in the Porsche, and European auto as a whole, enthusiast circles that the most expensive Porsche/Ferrari/Lotus you can buy is a cheap one. The problem is, no one talks about the fact that this is only true if your goal is to own a perfectly restored, 100% stock Porsche. There are many reasons why a car can be inexpensive when …

I collect everything and all things Porsche related. My office is filled with books, artwork, models, dioramas, die-cast cars, calendars, RC toys, etc. etc. In fact, for a while there, I thought I had quite the collection going.
