ACAs’s £13k reult for a 1994 Toyota HiLux showed just how much ground modern classic Japanese 4x4s have made up. Irish Green, California- market short- wheelbase 1966 911 is the oldest of Magnus’ classics in the auction. 2002 911 GT2 is the newest car in the auction and being sold as a no-reserve lot. ‘Magnus Walker is a big name in classic air-cooled Porsche circles, although not one that everyone in wider classic circles will necessarily know. However, not only have I heard of him, but he actually signed the dashboard of one of my sister’s other half’s 911s!

Having so many cars, spares and pieces of marque- specifi c memorabilia, being off ered up from his collection is a good result for the auctioneer, and I’m intrigued to see how these no- reserve classics will perform with dedicated Porschephiles. With 911s still in the ascendancy this line-up is likely to attract global interest in this online-led sale. Strong money should be the order of the day because owning an ex-Magnus Walker car is considered something special and those who do will exercise bragging rights.’

It has taken me some time to get to this point where I am ready to let some of these cars go…and it feels like shedding my skin, a kind of re-birth’.

warned that a campaign to cut Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) on modern classics could have unintended implications for enthusiasts. A petition on Parliament’s website calling for vehicles between 20 and 39 years old to be given a 50 per cent VED cut has has garnered more than 40,000 signatures – enough to warrant a written response from the government.

Petition founder Heitor Mazzotti argues that a reduction would prevent thousands of classics from being scrapped prematurely. However, owners of both modern classics and older vehicles fear that that this would endanger existing exemptions.
