We've seen our fair share of Porsche's on Petrolicious (and being a Porsche owner I've got no problem with that) but as beautiful as this car is, this video is truly more about the story than the car. The fact that it's been through a few transformations and each time is born again into a different variant of 911 shows how Porsche's are limited only by their owner's imaginations. Would love to see Petrolicious do a follow up to see where Andre, his wife and his awesome 911T go next!
@@nohandle54 Absolutely. Especially when the owner has done a whole lot of miles (or km's) in the car and in this case, across several continents. I just met a man the other day who said he had at least 750k miles on his Land Rover 110 (he'd stopped counting the miles after his third engine upgrade.) I said "this Rover has seen more than even the most seasoned traveller!" Kind of like this 911, I know it's cliche but the adage "if these walls (or Porsche) could talk...." Just imagine the stories this car could tell.
I once saw a picture, a Porsche, half mud half clean, one man in two looks, one in racing suit other one in suit. I really like the concept of porsche. This car just can be with you all the time.
The one millionth Porsche 911 got painted a shade of green just like this. I think its called "Irish green". I love the look of this 911. There is nothing more satisfying than an old 911. Thanks so much for sharing.
"whenever Andre and his wife want to travel some place new, they forego the rental car and just ship their 911, affectionally named “Frisco,” and use that to explore instead" Now that's absolute luxury!
You can tell a lot about the car and its owner by the colour scheme of a build... How much attention they pay to what colours go where and onto what parts says a huge amount about how much they care about the vehicle. Green, silver and chrome is a phenomenal combo, bravo!
Drove Andre around when he was in Melbourne. One of the most inspiring human's I've ever had the honour to spend time with. Fantastic video as always 😎 look forward to the next one!
When I was in West Germany, back in the late 70s with the NATO Canadian forces, one of the guys in unit bought a 911, and he was around 6'3" tall and he fit into it with no problems, we even went up to the Nürburgring ans spent around 300 marks and spent the day having a blast.
Loved the style of this car since I first saw an image of it back in February and now knowing its background just makes it even better. Cars that are built to be used and enjoyed by an individual always inspire me and in my opinion hold far more beauty than any polished trailer queen built for a show. I've always hoped to inject some of the ethos of projects like this into my Mk1 Jetta build as it progresses
I saw this car at the Adelaide Motorsport festival two weekends ago. Stunning car with a perfect colour combo! I can’t believe it’s now been featured on one of my top 3 fav channels! Thanks for the story!
Saw this at the Adelaide Motorsport festival, spent close to an hour just staring at it, something about the colour, scratches, roof racks etc just makes it special, absolutely love it
As beautiful as the car is, the story attached to it resonates with me tremendously! I have a project that im working for which i intend to use towards a similar purpose. My project vehicle is not a Porsche, but the concept of 'its not the destination, but rather the journey that gives the trip meaning' gives a sense of personal connection and inspiration for the road ahead! Great documentary!
This is such a joy to watch!! I hope do be able to do the same thing in 15 years!! Props to Firsco and his owner to explore the world in a true Porsche 911 and Petrolicious for documenting this wonderfull story!!!
Fantastic story... I got a little choked up! Probably because I have an old car in my life ('67 Mustang) that has gone through a similar transformation.
Absolutely love it when people such as yourself who are passionate about a brand/model/car refurbish and use it in the manner it as design for. I would love to do these types of tours with my Porsche 928S4 M89. If you are still in Australia and in/around Melbourne would love to catch up for a coffee (Frisco :-) ). Keep on keeping on
Love it. My "new" car is a 2003 SAAB but my DD is an '88 BMW 535is. I don't need a bunch of the latest gizmos and luxury to be perfectly happy. This car is great and the story is great.
Sean McNeill three of us of our family had the opportunity to visit Ireland three years ago. I am trying now to get dual citizenship to reside there. I’m from across the pond in Alaska USA baby! I truly love Ireland…😘😍

Imagination and bank account*
I think I love these cars more - the ones that aren't precious in the monetary or collector's sense, but precious to the owners
@@romanstinkt Ha! I thought someone might say that the second I wrote it! But yes you're right, I just didn't want to rain on anyone's parade.

THIS video, right here, is exactly why Petrolicious is the BEST automotive RUclips channel!
That single thumb down...mistake, right🤔
Filmed in Australia !
26 thumbs down now.
@@bicyclist2 Can't say they didn't have it coming to 'em for sharing such godawful content.
so agree...

The car that inspired Seen Through Glass 991 Carrera T !
They need to meet up in Australia
@@tehuti45 Or in Japan, he mentioned he wants to take Frisco there. Where they meet doesn't really matter, the important thing is they DO. :)
Inspired????? LOL since when has a 911 inspired ANYONE?????

New porches are superb but the old air cooled ones really speak to me.
Air cooled.
This is the kind of build we need on Forza Horizon 4

I love vintage Porsches!
Me too

I'm 6' 4" and fit very comfortably in my 87 Carerra- will soon be driving it across the US... 😎
what a beautiful Porsche! good to see him using it an not afraid to scratch it!
Well it's been crashed and rebuilt and isn't all original anyway so that makes it less stressful to drive out on the open roads.
Beautiful and humble story. This is how life should be lived.
Again a powerful and emotional video.
Thank you for making my day.
Very nice story.
Very nice car.
Very nice name. I think every car should have one.

I swear these videos are so amazingly shot! You guys knock it out of the part every single time. 👏👏👏
Without a doubt, this is my favourite of all Porsche I've seen to date.
I saw this car at the Adelaide Motorsport festival two weekends ago. Stunning car with a perfect colour combo! I can’t believe it’s now been featured on one of my top 3 fav channels! Thanks for the story!
Beautiful love the paint color, and the entire car really. A true enthusiasts car. Thank you.
Im a simple motorcycle man living in America , when I see old German cars I click.
These videos, these cars and these people have a special place in the world
Wonderful car and a wonderful story. I can absolutely understand how it inspired SeenThroughGlass.
I hope they meet up in Japan or somewhere else in the year
Jack White Wouldn’t that be fantastically cool!!
@@IsadoreWoW It'd add an extra touch of magic if that works out.
Stunning vehicle and the owner seems super genuine.. what a life
South Africa represent ! Frisco coffee is kak but your car isn't ! Beautiful machine you have there . Mooi man
Vat so jou lekker ding!
LOL, Frisco coffee is shit. SA in the house!
How is it down there anyways with the land grab?
Is Frisco even classified as coffee? I thought it was chicory and dirt.
Frisco you give to the neighbours so they know to move! Lol! Still on the shelves, can't believe, but truely kak coffee!
Saw this at the Adelaide Motorsport festival, spent close to an hour just staring at it, something about the colour, scratches, roof racks etc just makes it special, absolutely love it
Took a moment, but then I realised I did the exact same thing. Probably the first Petrolicious cars I can say I've seen in person!
These emotional videos! really gets the vision going of owning a classic Porsche

Wonderful little film, truly redefines "adventure vehicle"
Inspires me and teaches me to appreciate cars and the history of it
THIS is the most beautiful car I have ever seen; and I am pretty sure that will never ever change, from now on! :-D
5:50 made me cry for joy! - Wow!
Fantastic story... I got a little choked up! Probably because I have an old car in my life ('67 Mustang) that has gone through a similar transformation.
Isnt this the one STG got inspired with?
x Milkyy I was wondering the same...
yes it is!
I think it is too, traveling around the world, the color scheme, the history
Yeah it is, how do we tag sam? I’ve put a comment up on the most recent video
@@huwfrancis9437 Hopefully he'll read it, imagine these two cars cruising together when Sam's in Oz
Found your channel with RUclips recommendations and happy about that! Really high quallity videos with a good stories!

+Deoo For those 10 days or less.. nothing else matters..
Haha 👍
@@I_dont_read_responses You made my day
Thank You for sharing. Awesome story. I also have a 930 project down in pit. Hope it too will have another life
I don't know how Petrolicious affords to make these videos and broadcast for free. They deserve way more subscribers.
Another amazing video by you guys. Thanks very much they are so inspiring . 😎
Best car channel ever! Following from their humble beginnings.
This. Was. Wonderful. What a story. (Vintage, air-cooled 911s are simply great cars.)
Fantastic car and beautilful story. My compliments to you and fare well !
But, does it still go kleek?
Absolutely love it when people such as yourself who are passionate about a brand/model/car refurbish and use it in the manner it as design for. I would love to do these types of tours with my Porsche 928S4 M89. If you are still in Australia and in/around Melbourne would love to catch up for a coffee (Frisco :-) ). Keep on keeping on
re spray it the color of the car in the video is in these values #182A1F - #14261A

AutoAgitator
Thank you for sharing and for keeping driving it!
I wanted more time hearing this gentleman talk about Frisco and their adventures on it !
A great guy with a great car. Very inspiring story, stay modest like the Frisco as he said.
This! This car is what made me want to create my own travel car from my 924
I love this car and I love South Africa and I love this channel, I'm in awe
What an amazing story, and what a life this car has lived!
Awesome car, fantastic video, Proudly South African 👍

Good God, that thing is absolutely beautiful.
Fantastic video. Proudly South African 🇿🇦
Beautiful. Very good condition.
Unmistakable Australian (Victoria or NSW) scenery. Lovely car modest man great little video.
Love it. My "new" car is a 2003 SAAB but my DD is an '88 BMW 535is. I don't need a bunch of the latest gizmos and luxury to be perfectly happy. This car is great and the story is great.
This may be my favourite car of all time.
It’s almost 50 years old but it’s a Porsche. Love it.
Mine is only 4 1/2 years old and I love it.
lovely car, thank you for sharing.
What a wonderful car and great story.
Amazing story and video.
Classic Gem! I miss my (sold it) 1973 Porsche 911-T. I got ahead of myself indeed, when I sold it.
Crashed. In spectacular form! Lol! 🏁
Whoa.... what a beautiful story
Really nice story. Love the car.
If you are ever traveling to Kerala, India I am more than happy to help and guide you!!
Nothing drives like a Porsche 911...it is a true connection.
What a lovely story and magnificent car! I am in the process of getting a 1971 911T as well, in bloodorange, it'll be a blast to tweak this beauty!
Wonderful. Thank you for sharing ...
Great story, great car and great colour!
love the roof rack ensemble
Car and story so good, you are more than welcome to come visit Ireland any time. You your wife and car would be made very welcome.😎
Sean McNeill three of us of our family had the opportunity to visit Ireland three years ago. I am trying now to get dual citizenship to reside there. I’m from across the pond in Alaska USA baby! I truly love Ireland…😘😍

Very cool to see an SA car on Pretolicious!

Yeah but a 912 we could have, and I'm looking if the body is straight ill type 4 VW engine it if i have to lol
I am not a millionaire and still by hard work .love and dream.i have and drive a 997 be positive.
The striping, wheel choice/finish and rear spoiler all speak of being inspired by Singer for the exterior. Love the special paint colour though!
Inspired by Singer? Er, no inspired Singer more like it!
Mann. The power of destiny. The excalibur that meant for the arthur
Beautiful truly beautiful
Absolutely nice!
Would be great to be able to view this lovely 911 while it's in Australia.
I think this may be the coolest car in the world
Great video, nice chap to boot!
Love the classic 911 RS
That’s a lekker ride you have there.
Just missed Targa Florio in Geelong
Would love to see this car there 👌🏻
