Extreme hoarding: over 200 Porsches
A private collection of around 200 Porches is being sold by Anglia Car Auctions over the next year with the first lot of 20, going under the hammer at Kings Lynn on Saturday 24th August.
The sale will feature a 1956 left hand drive 356A Coupe barn find that still drives, complete with matching engine and chassis numbers, to a 1972 left hand drive 911E project car with US title and UK custom documents. A raft of 911 variants, 912s and 356s are included with a mix of reserve prices to suit many pockets. A good number of the cars in the collection were barn finds.
The seller built up his collection over a ten-year period and today includes 50 early 911s, 39 912s and about 40 356s. Many more cars are still in transit from storage in the US.
Anglia Car Auctions' Rob George said: "The owner is thinning out his collection and we'll spread the Porsches out over our forthcoming sales. The vehicles have been very well kept with many of the barn finds still in working order. I'm sure they will create considerable interest on sale day."
The avid collector did not just buy Porsches. He has also included two Range Rovers and two pick-ups in the form of a 1960 Peugeot 403 and a 1970 Austin J4 in the sale.
