Magnus Walker's '66 Irish green Porsche 911 - XCAR 

Such a humble soul with pur passion for Porsches. Your a good man Magnus hats off to you my friend.

British Racing Green actually derives from a motor race in Ireland in 1902. The British cars were painted green out of respect to the Irish for holding the race. After that race the British continued to use similar greens on their cars.

One of my favorite youtube videos ever. Magnus seems like a genuine and good guy.

That was a beautiful piece of footage. One goal in life is to meet this man. This guy is a sensation, not because of his love for old porsches, but because of his charisma and passion. Thank you XCAR for yet another gr8 video. This video should be on Petrolhead channel lol.

Love the exhaust sound. Great job capturing that accurately.

Just really discovered this guy. Glad i did.

Beautiful video.....I love how you guys manage to mixed a car review and a documentary and make it came out really well.

lots of "Words of Wisdom" . Magnus is ALL RIGHT. love his Passion for what he does. KUDOS. and Thank you for the video.

I feel the same way about these cars. Saw a red 1988 cab as a kid and was in love. just love the simplicity of the the design. the shape is iconic and timeless.

Such a moving and great story! Very inspiring!

Wonderful wonderful video, absolutely loved it! I recently purchased a 2000 911 Carrera in Encinitas and drove it, with my wife, to our home on the East coast. Magnus hits the nail on the head, great commentary Thanks.

Awesome Video starting with cars, images and also musics. I'm watching from Sao Paulo. Congratulations on collection.

The best video and totally hitting the nail on the head. Amazing

That's what an old Porsche is ALL about. Great video.. thank you for posting.

I have an early SWB 911 and a '66 912, (and the '71 914 in my avatar pic). All are in various stages of lengthy restoration or refurbishment. We spoke several years ago, but I still haven't had a chance to come see your shop. Hope to do so in the near future ... Keep up the great work ... really enjoy your videos. They keep the spark alive.

Beautiful, beautiful car. Luv that Magnus is his own purist and he left this car original right down to the original owners stickers. What a humble guy. You da man, Magnus👍

you lucky man Magnus, that's a dream, great video thanks. I love Porsche, have been a jag-man for decades.

Great car and a genius designer. Long live Porsche classics

Beautiful car. Unmistakable sound from the exhaust.

thank you for the amazing story!

Magnus , prob the best video you have done! And a fantastic car

I totally relate to his statement about driving and how it allows you to disconnect from the rest of life and really unwind. I have a few routes that I take regularly to go and unwind, ranging from about 15 miles to 150+ miles, mostly on back roads through the middle of nowhere. Since I live in NH, about 3/4 of a mile from the ocean, I can either blast up the coast in the early morning or late afternoon when there is little traffic, or go inland and/or up to the north and into the mountains. Either way, I get to enjoy the natural beauty of the landscape and nature. I'm not so lucky as to have a plethora of Porsche 911's in my garage to choose from, I do have (what I consider to be) some rather nice vehicles that are a ton of fun on the winding roads here in NH. The first, and my favorite, a supercharged 1990 convertible Mustang LX (306ci with 515hp/460tq at the wheels) , which is rather lightweight at a touch under 2800lbs, and handles quite well with upgraded suspension and sticky Yokohama tires. I love getting up into the mountains, opening the exhaust cutouts and hearing the roar of the exhaust while I carve through the winding roads of the mountains and valleys. The second is a 1989 Chevy S10 with custom chassis and Jag 5.3liter V12, which probably makes 375hp or so at the flywheel. Its a completely different experience from the mustang, but still wonderful. The V12 just loves to rev, and that unique V12 sound is like music. It lacks the brute force torque that the Mustang has, but it still pulls pretty good. You just need to keep the rpms up and let that V12 HP pull you out of the corners. And I can't say enough about the way it sounds, as its amazing. It runs custom headers into dual 2.25" exhaust with a X-pipe and Magnaflow Bullet race mufflers, exiting just ahead of the rear tires. Its very raspy and somewhat high-pitched. You would think it was a European sports car, until you see this little truck coming down the road. It gets a lot of attention, especially when I tell people it has a V12 in it. A little about the Jag V12. They are relatively easy to find and can be had for very little (I got the complete car for a few hundred dollars. It was a rust bucket, but had low miles and a solid engine). As long as it doesn't need a bunch of work, they are great engines, just expensive when they break. But if you want a low-cost V12, the 70's and 80's Jags are a bargain. And there is nothing like the sound of a V12!

Magnus you are a legend! You understand Porsche like few people does. Congrats on the beautiful timepiece too ;)

Thanks for this great video. Makes me homesick for my 71 911T.

I forgot how beautiful that era of Porsche is. That curve from front headlight to rear taillight is simply elegant. Truly exquisite.

Seems like one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. If only more of us had his outlook on life. The world would be a richer place.

Never heard of this channel until this video. Subscribed. Very good work.

Inspirational and a true purest of heart and soul.

This is a perfect story of passion, love, and feel for a car. Very nice story about a very nice car.

I feel it man ... thanks for sharing!

Spot on Magnus, I have a 77 Targa and it is definitely a great driving experience. I never turn on the radio because it is such a recharging of my mental state. Better then laying on the couch paying someone $ 200 an hour, telling them your issues. Keep spreading the Porsche passion

Magnus gets it. The nuances and enjoyment from each Porsche.

Superb video. Many Thanx x

wow such passion for his car, really shows the bond between man and machine. A real car enthusiast.

Magnus such a great perspective!!

every day i had driven any of my Porsches i feel the way he described incredible how car brand can bring so many people together and also feel

I do believe Mr Walker has found his heaven on earth while driving his early Porsches. Good for him. 😊

Man, i love this green color. Past week, i saw a 60's VW Beetle painted with a green that resembles that same color, absolutely beautiful.

Much respect for this guy and what he does. There's a lesson that can be learned here.

This car is the reason why the 1,000,000th 911 looks like it does.

What makes Magnus Walker so appealing is the fact that he is so genuine, unique, humble, and is an amazing storyteller. I could listen to this guy tell stories about his cars all day. “Modern cars may do things better, but the reward is no the same.” - Magnus Walker.

Amazing video!!!

I like how Magnus can describe the feeling driving such a car. I think only somebody can really understand who draw a car from that area. I was blessed to have a Beetle from 57 so he makes me remember that car. Thank you for the excellent video.

1:49 Ummmm, your hair is caught in the door :D

I love Magnus Walker! He is such an inspiration!

Magnus is a great dude! His Porsches are awesome!!!

great episode~~!

Great video, guys. Great channel as well. Subscribed.

I appreciate that he focuses on the journey in all endeavors and not the destination.

Congratulations: great film and beautiful images, esp. the very original tunnel/out at 13:35.

I thoroughly enjoyed the video.

Magnus This is not British Racing Green, which is considerably darker than "Irish Green". Beautiful car!

love this video!!!

I owned an '88 911 Targa Carrera, purchased some 10 years ago. This was the Commemorative Edition in Diamond blue metallic paint, short throw shifter and stitching in the headrests. I absolutely loved that car. It was a car that forced you to drive it and pay attention. The clutch was super stiff, the steering precise with no power assist, the brakes could bring you to a dead stop from 100 mph almost immediately. The fun part was 2nd to 3rd gear. Well one of the fun parts. I had to sell it for various reasons, but you can definitely have an emotional attachment to a car.

That's a beautiful car and it sounds awesome. I've had my eye on a 993tt but this thing looks amazing

This is really on point!

This gave me chills

the way this guy talks about Porsches makes mesmile

Beautiful car, admirable philosophy. Always thought British Racing Green, if this is meant to be the same color, was much darker. Nevertheless, I love green Porsches and you don't see too many of them. Hoping to buy a Rainforest Green Boxster soon..

That is such a beautiful 911. I typically don't like green except for British Racing Green on a proper E-type, or any British sports car. But man, you've got the classy looking early 911 in that color and it's just gorgeous.

God, why somebody didn't liked it? Truly a great, inspiring video. Great job XCAR.

Speaks so candidly on his cars and Porsche as a whole and doesn't sound like a fanboy at all.

What a beautiful car

Still one of your best

I subscribed before I watched the first video.

What a superb motor

my 2nd doc on this guy and he is what we need

Right there is my dream car in my favourite colour. Breathtaking.

Love your work brother! I love early porsche myself....lets just say I live for Porsche and one day soon I will own one, I going to be an outlaw!😁👍🤘

I don't know if ill ever the the pleasure of owning one of these cars but I hope so. I have the same passion for all cars but the 911 has been my lust/love since I rode in my uncles 72 model back in 1977

I had 65 solex carb'd 911(901) with the lead blocked front bumper to try to keep the wheels on the ground, they didn't :) Had that car since about 1970. Sold it recently to a good guy that had admired and wanted it for a long time. That green reminded me of my first MG at 15 years old & the car reminds me so much of the Porsche I now miss.

What a beautiful car, just perfect 👌

The color is a killer!!!!

Perfect car in the perfect color. 💚

This is honestly one of the best car channels on RU-vid. Certainly the most under hyped. Keep making videos @XCARFilms !

I have a lot in common with him, he said everything!

Man... Xcar is awesome!

wow, amazing!

Legend!

lol at 1:49 when he traps his hair in the door, great video though!

Probably one of the nicest colours ever. This and British Racing Green are pretty amazing.

Great video car and fella

I love driving my 911 Magnus drove it home with this video . Happy thoughts.

It's my dream to own one of these cars...what an awesome dude.

Love that you respect the provenance of the car...makes the car feel alive, like it has earned all its badges of wear, and is unique, special and appreciated for its journey-

This is the perfect example of someone that is doing it right. The guy isn't out to showoff his cars to the public, or even really cares what people think. He builds and modifies cars based on what he wants to do. The people that want to 'buy' his door handles and things are followers, and completely missing the point of modifying a car.

great video. I often wonder "why I am so obsessed with my car?" I go outside just to look at it at 11:30 at night. This video lets me know that I am not alone.

My all time fav car shape ...

Awesome video ? Question is what’s the background music love it

You inspire me. Years ago I saw this porsche in a garage in Brooklyn , this weekend I going to look for it. I think nirvana a 73.

wonderful

that tail caught in the door at 1:49.....

What a great guy...

Awesome video! I have a 914 that I'm restoring now. It had been painted 4 different colors. The original color was Irish Green. It's at the body shop now and the next time that I see it, it will be Irish Green! Q

I enjoy your philosophy, Magnus Walker. Very cool car. Cool story on the license plate frame. I enjoy stuff like that. Very unique car. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy! :)

Looking for info motor light comes indenifies as fault 41. More info some say cam sensor. Also need parts right side window washer sprayer. Also need plugs that cover openings to cover when temp top removed. Suggestion on these items?

A good friend of mine owned one way back in the '90s. VERY nice car indeed, he sold it & bought a Porsche 911 (996 Series) GT3.

Hi Magnus, I had a gery similar car to this one. If you get a chance, try installing a vintage seats 911R seat in it. It swaps out in less than 20 minutes and feels great to sit tight in the turns with an otherwise somewhat bouncy ride. I eventually did other upgrades to my car, such as rebuild the motor with original S p&c's, cams and S carbs which made the car significantly faster and more bubbly at hi revs, but the original 2.0 normale with solex cams was a nice smooth engine with enough power. For the hassle and money though, the 911R seat was best improvement of all....

I would really love to see his entire collection, and I would like to know how these cars feel on the road.

i always wondered if he would get one of those long as dreads stuck in the door and and 1:48 my question was answered haha. such and cool and inspirational dude!
