Round numbers: 80 years of life and 80 Porsche bought. There is no doubt that mr. Ottocar J., an Austrian, has a passion for the brand's models. A passion that started on the circuits — being a driver is one of his… hobbies — where, after being overtaken by too many Porsches, he saved up to buy one too.
So, in 1972, he bought his first Porsche, a 911 E (color Speed Yellow) and never stopped buying a Porsche — it's been 80 and he says he doesn't want to stop there.
Its collection currently houses 38 Porsches and its taste for circuits means it has several competition models: 917, 910 (a rare eight-cylinder), 956, 904 with the original Fuhrmann engine and 964 Cup. And they continue to be used in circuit, as originally intended.
Porsche 904, 910, 917 and 956
Moving onto the road, among the 80 Porsches he has owned, there are nine versions of the Carrera RS. The 911 dominates the collection, from the oldest, to the unavoidable 911 2.7 RS and 930 Turbo, passing through the 911 Speedster (G), 993 Turbo S, 997 GT2 RS or 991 R.

Other than 911, we have a 356 or two Boxster Spyder (one of each generation, not counting the third one just purchased).
