There are a variety of ways to make a car attract more notice, or in some cases we may even think of this making the car more enjoyable for the owner. Outside of modifications, which push stronger into the realm of subjectivity, we are dealing primarily with the color palette selected by the original purchaser and thankfully Porsche has long provided an ample array of options to suit every need in this regard, from the outlandish to the subtle. So how do you spice up the character of a car outfitted in a popular and attractive exterior color, but one that shall always remain subtle and, to some, uninspiring? You step into the interior. White over Red is a popular combination on many cars as the intensity of the Red benefits strongly from the extreme lightness of the White exterior. I mean, if you’re going for an interior color that stands out you really want it to stand out, right? This one stands out. This is really Red; the seller refers to it as Lip Stick Red and that’s more or less what we have with this paint-to-sample interior. Naturally such shades will not work for everyone, but it’s undoubtedly captivating and should help this 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo, located in British Columbia, stand apart from the rest of the collector market.

The Mercedes-Benz R107 SL is one of those cars that will always capture my imagination. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve lusted after one of these roadsters. Some friends of mine never liked these SLs but others loved them. Whatever your thoughts might be, these cars certainly made their fair share of appearances in television and movies over the past several decades, amplifying their star power. They also had one of the longest production runs in Mercedes-Benz history, giving prospective buyers lots of choice when it comes to specific years and models. This 380SL for sale in Portland, Oregon represents the end of the 380SL run, right before the introduction of the 560SL, the final version we would see in the US market.

5 CommentsAttention Canadians and/or hockey fans! Here we have a fairly special car: a Linen Grey Porsche 930 Cabriolet, located in Kansas, said to have been originally purchased by the great Wayne Gretzky. Other than a picture of the signed sun visor, which is a pretty cool touch on such a car, the seller hasn’t provided evidence of the necessary documentation to support Gretzky’s ownership, but that documentation is said to be available to those making serious inquiries. The Gretzky ownership aside there is much to like about this Porsche anyway. It is a relatively low mileage example (currently 43,915 miles) from the only year the 930 came equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission and those points alone should garner plenty of attention. And while a former hockey great isn’t the sort of famous owner that might make many people take notice within the car world it’s still a excellent conversation piece added to what should already be a dynamite performer.

Comments closedThe eta-engined BMWs from the late-80s may be maligned, as are automatic BMWs in general, for placing comfort and efficiency above sportiness – a confusing conflict for the Ultimate Driving Machine. As the 80s drift further into our collective rearview mirror, however, any clean example deserves plenty of love. This 528e has survived beautifully with just a few blemishes over almost 30 years and has tons of life left after just 113k miles. Please, someone, buy this as a daily driver or a first car for your kid and keep the E28 population living strong!
