Proud to be a press car number plate bore

Andrew Frankel
July 7, 2014

As ever the Porsche cars GB press 911 Turbo came wearing the 911 HUL plate. This is so famous among 911 bores (among whose number I count myself) that people come up to you and tell tales of the Turbo they saw it on in the 1970s.

This and OPR 911 (always on a rear-drive Carrera) are two of few constant threads through my childhood, adolescence, adulthood and life as a motoring journalist. I’ll get my anorak.
