Blackbird Automotive: Magnus Walker talks 911 and life

20 October, 2016

Magnus Walker needs no introduction. He’s a car/Porsche enthusiast like no other, and if you’ve played the latest Need for Speed Underground game, you will know of him. Blackbird Automotive met up with Magnus and filmed him thrashing around a race-ready ’77 Porsche 911-T on the streets of downtown Los Angeles. Magnus discusses his love for Porsches, why he does what he does, and more. Check out this clip from the team at Blackbird Automotive, and let us know what you think. Keep an eye out for more from the team soon!

One lady owner

Well, at first glimpse, as soon as the lady opened the garage doors, I knew I was going to buy it. Dark metallic blue with two-tone blue vinyl trim, with a cream American-style steering wheel — I just could not believe my eyes! The Falcon was in as new condition as you could expect from a 30-year-old car. The owner was Mrs Iama Dzenis, aged in her late 60s, at a guess. Mrs Dzenis had bought the car new in September of 1965 from the Ford agents of North Canterbury, Palmer and Doak. Their headquarters were in Rangiora, with branches in Kaiapoi and Amberley.
