Porsche 911. RECOVERY: 912

The Porsche 912 is a 911 minus two cylinders. That's blunt, because the block is identical to that of the 356's. The four-cylinder was intended as an entry-level model for Porsche drivers without money for the 911 six-cylinder.

In the mid-1960s, motorcycling was saved from certain death. Because motorcycles were on the verge of extinction because the economic situation after WWII had become so flourishing that the Ordinary Man could afford a car.

Motorcycling was for poor people such as students and other less fortunate people and social marginal figures.

'Japs don't send'

That was once a "science" of every pub tiger whose Triumph or Ducati was broken. But in fact it was just an urban legend. Because a fresh Japanese with a good pilot was a formidable weapon in the fight against the faltering but established order. The fact that the Japanese motorcycles just remained intact? That was no cause for grumbling, but resulted in the growth of customers. More and more customers.

Instant classic driving: Just keep going

There are people who buy a new car or motorcycle every three years to always drive safely 'under warranty'. There are people who spend a lot of money - because € 340.000 for a Porsche 356, I think a lot of money - because… Well, probably because they had at least € 440.000 in their back pocket and that was so uncomfortable.

Classic trucks: a niche market

Classic trucks are also pure nostalgia. But they have their limitations. Things are difficult to store and not very usable. And there aren't many left. Just like the Greek donkeys, they had to work too long and too hard for too little food.
