80-Year-Old Buys His 80th Porsche: Read More To Find Out
Ottocar J, an 80-year-old resident of Vienna recently bought a Boxster Spyder in a gleaming blue colour. He did that to complete 80 Porsche cars purchased over the past several decades. Ottocar says that his passion for Porsches started nearly 50 years ago when one such car flew past him. In the next few years, when he had enough money to buy one, he eventually bought a 911 E in Speed Yellow.
"I came the first time in 1977. A 911 Carrera 3.0 was waiting for me then," Ottocar remembers. He also stated "The Porsche cars simply flew past me on all sides," he recalls. So he started to save up, and bought himself a 911 E in Speed Yellow, also known as the "oil cap model". It would be the start of a lifelong passion.
Ottocar J has owned 80 different Porsche cars throughout his life, including nine versions of the Carrera RS. Today, his collection comprises around 38 cars, or, as Ottocar himself puts it: "I can drive a different one every day for a month - and two at the weekends."
He has built a separate building for his Porsche collection and calls it his "living room". Visitors stroll past shop entrances, workshop doors, display windows and advertising signs. They pass Ottocar's toy shop, an antiques store and a cinema that is previewing, of course, Steve McQueen's epic film "Le Mans". His room is also decorated with numerous cups, posters, components, trophies and mementos from races, events and Porsche Club meets.
In other recent Porsche news, the company has announced that its Cayenne performance SUV has achieved 1 million units of production. The company had first launched the SUV back in the year 2002, and within two decades, the luxury performance SUV has achieved a new milestone for the brand.
