Early entries in Silverstone Auctions Porsche Sale

Few names are as sought-after by petrolheads and car collectors as Porsche. Since the first 911 landed in 1963, the company has carved out a niche for itself, producing mainly rear-engined sports cars with horizontally opposed 'flat' engines.

Though Porsche has diversified as time's gone on (now actually producing more SUVs than sports cars) it remains the top choice for thousands of drivers the world over. As such, examples of classic Porsches command incredible values in the classifieds and at auction.
