    Just for you, my aunt ordered a new corniche convertible and was told that they were discontinued. She then asked for one to be made for her as special order and Rolls Royce agreed. Sadly my aunt passed away before she could take delivery, her car has resided in a heated underground garage since, only being used for family weddings etc so it still has delivery mileage. It will remain in the heated garage until petrol cars are no longer to be seen and is already a real 1 off classic

    This is one of your finest interviews. Magnus is informed and articulate. THEN we get into what he did to his custom cars. SUDDENLY we enter 'Aladdin's Cave' of Porsches.

    Just love those ‘80s interior materials from Porsche. That black and white asymmetric chequer in the 924 turbo - just stunning..!

    As a Porsche owner I follow Magnus on his OPP , fantastic guy, same age more or less, men with a open mind to the world , good you visited him on location Gary.

    That was brilliant Gary. What an interesting (iconic) guy.
    Another piece of Sheffield ( e.g. Def Leppard) that has taken on the States and become, to all intents and purposes, an American Icon!
    I really enjoyed this episode Gary. Illustrates how classic cars Transend people from totally different backgrounds and geography.
    This might be your best yet 👌
    Magnus, you rock man. Your distinctive style and engineering prowess makes a change from the 'purist' Porsche style. My favourite 911 ever is the S/T. I can see this car has had an influence on your style, (and R rear lights).
    Modern 911's just don't do it for me.
    Best wishes from the UK!

    Wonderful Gary! As an Ex-Pat myself ( 16 years in Vancouver and LA and now coming up to 7 years in Austria) I can totally understand where Magnus is coming from. I love people who find their passion then create a living and life from it, I think that's the only way to live!

    Great interview Gary, I think you got Magnus to relax and confide more than other videos I have seen of him. Knew nothing about him until 2016 when I bought my first Porsche, a 982S, which had an outlaw sticker on it. Been following since then. Maybe you should get him to design a paint job for the GT!

    I totally get the conversation..I’m originally from Liverpool (Kirkby)….I moved to Chicago in 1981 and went through many character building moments in life and now live in Scottsdale, AZ. I have the cars I dreamed of back in my childhood …Porsche’s, BMW, Aston Martin, etc. I think you need to struggle early in life and see the dream and go for it. Love Liverpool and the people of Liverpool. Just came back from visiting and stayed at the Vincent Hotel in Southport…my favorite hotel is the Titanic Hotel in Liverpool ❤️❤️

    Magnus had an open house viewing for the Bullitt Mustang at his warehouse a few years back, which I was lucky to attend. Getting to see more of the place in this video is quite interesting. Great and inspiring video, Gary and Magnus, thanks!

      Hello & thank you for your question. My name is Richard & this is my wife Dorothy. I have strapped a fleshlight inside Dorothy's pelvis. I lubricate it with goose fat. Dorothy speaks to me via telepathy. Oh wait a minute she is asking something now. Dorothy is asking if you would like to come to dinner tonight. We are having porridge. If you have fleas it's fine as we have a flea comb. We're told our house has a distinctive smell. The man who came to fix the water leak used the word stench. Would you like a massage? Dorothy will give you the massage but i will have to move her hands. Dorothy is a real female skeleton. How old are you? Are you retired? 6
