  • Alex Kersten hops aboard the new (old) Theon BEL001, a restored and enhanced Porsche 911 (964) that has been completely modernised from bumper to bumper. It features a supercharged 3.6-litre air-cooled flat six engine, semi-active suspension and a noise to die for. Could it be the best car Alex has ever driven.

      I prefer RUclipsrs doing more serious reviews in RUclips. To make Alex fit in Top Gear, they would have to get other RUclipsrs so the energy would match.

    Well presented and filmed but I prefer my 911s to be NA or Turbo. There's just something that jars about supercharging a 911. For the money I'd prefer a 993 based Kaege Retro. Nevertheless, I wish Theon well and hope the owner enjoys many happy miles.
