Hitched up: Porsche 911 Speedster with caravan

The original and genuine feeling, the manual gearshift – these are the things that constitute the appeal of his fully open-top 911. “It’s just the thing for old age,” he says, referring both to his #porsche and himself. “We just grew up with these things at the time: double-declutching, adjusting the carburettor, welding the body yourself ready for the MOT.”

As for so many, Schiersch’s love of air cooling started with a VW Standard. As a student, he then did various odd jobs to finance his first #porsche, a 356C with 75 PS. He then felt he could longer do without the rear engine, which had no power assistance. This was followed soon afterwards by his first open-top car. A 1957 #porsche 356 Speedster in Red. From then on, he was addicted to pure and unfiltered driving pleasure.

When the opportunity arose, he therefore did not think twice when an almost flawless #911speedster from the G model series was offered to him some years ago. “The car was perfect, the Silver Metallic paint finish is not just timeless, but is much rarer than Guards Red, Black or Grand Prix White,” says Schiersch.
