"My first Porsche was a 911 SC in 1978, with which I also graduated from the Sports Driving School," says Michael. «It was painted in metallic Opal. It was later that I came up with the idea to use the color of our family business for my private cars as well. It is a great pleasure to pick up a new Porsche in this very special color, as well as to know that I have given it my name."He concludes.
