BEDROOM WALL POSTER CARS OFTEN REMAIN JUST THAT. BUT THIS 911 SC WAS A CASE OF WHEN, NOT IF, ONE WOULD BE ACQUIRED.

- DAVE MORLEY

EURO VISION!

For some folks, that bedroom-wall-poster thing never goes away. Oh sure, some of us grow up and do sensible things with money, like buy houses and investments and school shoes for the kids. But some people, even if they have done all that sensible stuff, just never scratch the itch to own that special set of wheels. Until they do. Luis Rivera is one such individual.

“When I was a little kid, I had a poster of a black Porsche 930,” Luis coughs up during his Unique Cars therapy session. “The shape was always one of those things…the sound is unmistakable. You could hear one anywhere and know it was a 911. I have an interest in a wide range of cars; I love 50s cars, chrome bumpers, you know. But that sound and the go-kart feel of a Porsche always dragged me back.”

By 2015, Luis was still to make good on his promise to his young-fella self, and while his wife `got’ his passion, seems she was the designated grown-up.

“Over the years, I kept asking, can I get one? No. Can I get one? No, let’s focus on the house. But eventually, this one came along with everything I wanted and I got the green light.”
