I’ve owned “Ruby” for almost 15 years and still love driving her. I have attended lots of events in her, both in France (where we lived for 16 years) and in the UK, including Le Mans Classic, Coupe Florio, Tour du Méné, Silverstone Classic, Yorkshire Festival of Porsche and many local shows. In 2018, she was featured on the French equivalent of Top Gear.
