Renowned Porsche collector and customizer Magnus Walker is preparing to part with a significant portion of his personal car collection, with dozens of items set to be offered through an upcoming RM Sotheby’s online auction.
The sale, which opens March 18, will feature 18 Porsche vehicles along with engines, project cars and a large assortment of parts accumulated over the years. The lineup reflects Walker’s distinctive taste for classic sports cars, particularly older air-cooled models that have defined much of his reputation among enthusiasts.
Most of the vehicles included in the auction date from earlier decades, with only two examples built after 2000. Those newer offerings are a 2002 Porsche 911 GT2 and a 2004 Porsche 911 GT3.
Among the cars expected to attract the highest bids is a rare 1976 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI, estimated to sell for between $200,000 and $250,000. The model is one of just 113 examples produced in 1976 for the German market and shares its 2.7-liter engine with the highly sought-after 1973 Carrera RS 2.7. Because of its rarity, the car remains largely preserved, with only subtle changes such as tartan velour bucket seats, Carrera side script, a ducktail and a painted hood.
Other vehicles in the collection showcase Walker’s well-known approach to personalization. One standout is a 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera that has been transformed with a flat-nose widebody conversion and is expected to bring up to $100,000. Originally delivered as a U.S.-spec 911 Carrera 2.7 coupe, the car now features a slant-nose fiberglass conversion designed to echo the appearance of a 935 race car. It also carries a 2.7-liter RS-spec mechanical fuel-injection engine built on a 1973 911 E 2.4 case.
The auction lineup also includes several front-engine Porsche models, including two 928s, two 968s and two 944s, one of which is a 1988 944 Turbo.
However, early examples of the iconic 911 are expected to draw the most attention. A 1965 911 estimated between $150,000 and $200,000 is notable as the 310th 911 ever produced. The car features a 1966 2.0-liter flat-six engine and was later updated with a distinctive “Gentleman’s Racer” appearance, including Fuchs wheels and vintage bucket seats.
Another highlight is a largely original 1966 Porsche 911 finished in Irish Green with a numbers-matching engine and preserved interior. The offering also includes a 1967 Porsche 911 S, the debut year for the high-performance variant. That example has been modified with a larger 2.3-liter six-cylinder engine and short-ratio gearing while retaining styling updates that complement the character of the early 911.
Together, the collection reflects Walker’s long-standing passion for Porsche engineering, blending rare factory models with uniquely personalized builds that have become part of his signature style.
