1972 Porsche 911 | London

A 1972 Porsche 911, from the long-bonnet years of the rear-engined sports car. The model is known for its compact coupé shape, an air-cooled flat-six behind the rear axle and a driving feel that rewards attention. The earliest cars wore 901 badges until a trademark objection from Peugeot led Porsche to settle on 911. This car is green, a shade the owner gives as period-correct, with a black interior that keeps the cabin plain and focused. Its 2400cc flat-six has a distinctive mechanical sound, and the car is in excellent condition. It has four seats, and its long bonnet and tidy proportions read clearly from every angle. Fashion and editorial shoots get a bold green body and low, clean lines to build a frame around. Film and TV set in the 1970s gain period detail, while advertising and events get a sporting stance that holds up in any shot. A wedding or personal hire gets a stylish arrival. The car is based in London.
