Setright was no fan of the 911, I believe he.was the one who described it as a triumph of engineering over poor design. Also that it was only safe when locked away in its garage.

Rescued from a basement in Turin where it had been sitting for 35 years.

In the intervening years the owner had died without leaving a wheel so the car was sold via auction - achieving a price of ~ 505k euros (+ fees) ...
