This year is a significant one for anniversaries. In 2023, Classic Driver turns 25, while it also marks 75 years since Porsche was founded in Stuttgart. Porsche’s most iconic product — the 911 — was introduced 15 years after the company’s inception, which in human years would make it ready for retirement in the South of France. However, even after 11 generations, it remains the blueprint for an exhilarating sports car, despite the engine being "in the wrong place.”

By now, we’re sure everyone is well aware that 2023 marks Porsche’s 75th anniversary. We’ve already had plenty of amazing announcements from the Zuffenhausen-based marque this year, with the outrageously cool Mission X being the latest glimpse into Porsche’s future, but now RM Sotheby’s are celebrating the fantastic cars from their back catalogue with their upcoming two-part auction.
