ON THE face of it, the car you see here is just a 2017 model Porsche 911 Carrera.

It’s not a range-topping Turbo S or the achingly desirable GT3 but it might be one of the most collectable cars ever to roll from the Zuffenhausen plant because it’s the millionth 911 to be built.

Finished in Irish Green and adorned with just the right amount of classic Neunelfer cues such as the houndstooth seats, the wood accents on the steering wheel and fascia panel and a spot-on manual gearbox. We appreciate that most German cars do wood interiors about as well as the Brits do waterproof electricals but this one is admirably restrained.

Porsche claims that 70 percent of those million 911s are still out there, a remarkable claim to be able to make of a car with a 54-year history.
