Can a modern Porsche replace the charm of a classic?

After parting with his 1971 Jaguar E-type V12 coupe and 1975 Porsche 911S Sportomatic, Keith Martin is finally getting quality seat time in his 2005 Porsche 911 C4S—a car that arrived as an unforgettable 75th birthday gift from his son.

From an unlucky first drive that ended with a punctured tire to a memorable road trip through the Columbia River Gorge, Keith shares his thoughts on trading vintage analog thrills for modern comfort, reliability, and refinement.

🎣 Ever feel like the perfect collector car got away at the last second?

Keith Martin knows the feeling. After finding three Austin-Healey 3000s he was interested in bidding on, each auction took an unexpected turn when a new bidder appeared in the final moments.

His latest blog explores a fascinating question facing today’s collectors: Who are you really bidding against?

As Bring a Trailer and other online auctions continue to globalize the collector car market, are you comfortable competing with buyers from around the world—or does it make you think twice about where you shop for your next classic?
