# Porsche 935 Turbo and Vintage Transporter: The Perfect Gentleman’s Accessory

Hello, I’m David Traver Adolphus, Duke of Starnesville. Glad you could join me. Last night, as I was enjoying *Á rebours* by the fire, watching the servants feed leftover champagne to the dogs, it occurred to me: I should have a racing team. Wouldn’t that be delightful? I can just see me, effortlessly galavanting around a racetrack, Cohiba Esplendido clenched in my teeth, silk scarf streaming behind, as I claim my rightful place atop the winner stair thingy. Ah, “podium.” That’s it.

But it would have to be a proper race team. I’ll call it...The Horse’s Pajamas, after my filly Gracious Star Amontillado Windblown’s new evening wear. With a thoroughbred name, The Horse’s Pajamas cannot be seen driving a gauche car of some sort. No, I think we shall be driving a Porsche automobile, and I understand there will be [some sold in Berlin](<https://www.auction.fr/_en/vente/porsche-37303#.VkzB1fmrRhE>) next month.

Thank you, Reginald. Reginald informs me that one could collect a Porsche 935 Turbo and a delightful Magirus transporter as a [single lot](<https://www.auction.fr/_en/lot/1977-porsche-935-orig-930-turbo-magirus-race-car-transporter-9007909>) at this Berlin auction. Very stylish, but Reginald, wouldn’t the transporter be frightfully uncomfortable? It is rather...*old*, isn’t it? Oh I see, it appears to have been modernized. Excellent. Fuel up the Super 700 and pack some monies. That’s all settled.

Oh, and schedule a race for the following weekend, too. Let’s bring Gracious Star. Matching outfits for all.
