Porsche Outlaws & Hot Rods

[stitchdup]

if anyone has any specific colour requests feel free to ask. I dont know the different 911 models so they are all just in a 911 folder but as I said earlier I have loads more, and for most manufacturers. I'm happy to help so if your stuck for a colour choice just ask

Just a quick search of Flickr, I was focused on 356s, every time I see what they are doing, want to pull out my Fujimi 356 Speedster in the stash.

What defines an "outlaw", as far as these cars go? Is it that they don't fit into a specific sanction of racing?

As I understand it, the name is a reaction to the "Classic Porsche" collecting world where factory-correctness and matching numbers are the holy grail. Outlaw Porsches are modified, distinctive, unique and very definitely not the way they were built in Stuttgart... It's borrowed from "outlaw biker" culture, where it's been used at least since the 60s.The idea of outlaw Porsches got a big boost when Magnus Walker hit the scene and turned his urban fashion design aesthetics loose on the cars he bought and collected, making them look very unlike your dentist's Porsche...

best,

M.

From what I've found, Matt is about right, they're basically the Rods and Customs of the Porsche world.

If money were no object a Singer would definitely be in my garage Tim.  The hard part would be choosing which one!!  Maybe the DLS at a cool $1.8M?
