With a nickname like the Urban Outlaw, Magnus Walker can’t be expected to color inside the lines. After rising to fame as a fashion designer in England, he moved to the States where he established Serious Clothing, an apparel brand enjoyed by celebrities from Madonna to Bruce Willis. A lifelong fan of Porsche automobiles, Walker capitalized on his success in the fashion world to begin collecting and customizing vintage Porsche 911s.
The Magnus Walker Built 1972 Porsche 911 STR II currently at auction through PCARMARKET is not only Walker’s personal “best build to date,” but probably the most beloved Walker custom car among the general public. Its distinctive exterior with dual broad blue racing stripes emblazoning the hood has graced multiple magazine covers (think Road & Track) and TV shows (think Jay Leno’s Garage). However, its seldom-seen all-back interior and mechanical updates like the retooled suspension prove that there’s far more to this book than its flashy cover.
