Ex Magnus Walker car on the Samba

Personally, I don't know Magnus or the Singer guys. I'm just a guy who loves building these cars in my garage. I see that both took a lot of ideas that have been done many times over on this forum and created something larger than the cars themselves. Some would call it marketing. But I think it is more. Regardless, they rode the early car trend and also contributed to it. I for one am fine with their popularity as it just adds to the popularity of these cars. In turn, it adds value to the cars themselves. The more they are worth, the more time and money one can invest without the concern of over spending on out projects. I guess I am envious that I am not in the position these guys are but I do believe the community is stronger with them than without.

I totally agree, I think Mag Walker is an inspiring guy. I like his style and his cars and I enjoy his videos.
And I do not doubt that he attracts attention and generates interest from beyond Porsche-land, some of which will reflect onto the cars.
But it is excessive when people claim that any single individual is significantly pushing, pulling or diverting the market.

Hello again cover. I think people should take notice of the cars Magnus is stockpiling, early 70s Turbos, very early 911s. From what I see in photos and such, not the cars he's marketing to others.
