The Appeal
There’s no doubt that Porsche has one of the biggest enthusiast markets in the world. It should come as no surprise, then, that in the 1980s Porsche introduced the 911 Junior - clearly figuring they could make enthusiasts out of kids, too!
Sold from Porsche dealerships and some high end stores - this example came from Harrods, for instance - they were an instant hit. Besides the novelty aspect of being a half-scale, faithful replica of the legendary 911, there were only 224 reportedly manufactured, making them an incredibly rare collectible.
