POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Even by 2016’s standards , it’s still difficult to think of a more opulent past time than Porsche collecting. Back in March, comedian Jerry Seinfeld was rumored to have cashed in on his fleet for some $22 million, while the world record sale at a single auction currently sits at a cool $3,965,000. In short, such a hobby is very much the domain of the uber-wealthy. And now rich folks everywhere have genuine cause for excitement, with the super-rare Porsche 597 Jagdwagen geared up for public auction. Built by the automobile company for the German military back in 1953, the all-terrain vehicle was viewed as a rival to outdoor heavyweights including Jeep and Land Rover. Back then, the present-day sports car giants were still in their embryonic stages, and even though the design went over well, supplying a full army was another matter entirely. As such, the contract went elsewhere, and only 71 Jangdwagens would be built, thus rendering the small fleet one of the #rarest in existence. It should come as no surprise then, that when one of the surviving 15 in the world do come on the market, they do so at a premium: at $225,000, to be exact. With its name translating to “hunting car,” the all action 4×4 features a Porsche 356 air-cooled flat-four engine at the rear, with early versions packing a 1.5-liter engine and later ones a 1.6L, which allowed the vehicle to reach top speeds of around 62mph. The design also incorporates a buoyant body design, allowing you to stunt on both land and water alike. If you’re a Porsche aficionado with cash to burn, head to Bonham’s where you can register to bid .

I'm sure Bunnings has a matching duplicolour if yours is scratched. What does the owner's manual say? https://www.excellence-mag.com/issues/183/articles/the-lonely-hunter?page=2
