They have bought their first Porsche

In 1956, Antonio Molina and Joselito were playing on Spanish radio stations. But life was very different outside our borders. Then, Elvis Presley launched Heartbreak Hotel and the newspapers of the time reported that in London they had to stop traffic because “dozens of boys, parked in the middle of the street, began to dance to the rhythm of the rock and roll“.

It is very likely that that rock and roll will be danced at the wedding Derek Evans and Audrey Evanstwo young people who said yes to each other 70 years ago. Since then, the Evans couple has remained together for seven decades together.

And for their platinum weddings, the Evans couple have said another “I do.”

This time to get his first Porsche.

An electric Porsche

“Neither of us are running people but we like the feeling of power and comfort.” The one who expresses herself in these terms is Audrey Evans, who at 94 years old, of which 70 have been by her husband’s side, explains why they have chosen a Porsche as a wedding gift for these seven decades together.

“I have always thought that Porsche was unique, so reliable and different from any other brand. We had always fantasized about oneand then we thought: ‘why not now?”, says Mr. Evans in an article that the company itself has published.

And from their words, they don’t seem to regret it. “It’s a great feeling when you have a Porsche. It feels like you’re part of an incredible club,” he reaffirms. And with a laugh he tells what happened when a delivery man saw him arrive home with a Porsche 911 that they had borrowed from the dealership: “his mouth almost fell to the floor.”

But the brand new Porsche they have bought has been a Macanthe company’s electric SUV, in Cray color. The company has shared photos of the day they picked up the car in Bournemouth, in the south of the United Kingdom. Are they happy? “It’s wonderful fun,” explains Mr. Evans, who drove a Ford 8. His wife took the first wheel with a austin 7.

Unlike that delivery man, his children were not in the least surprised that a man and a woman over 90 years old opened the doors of a Porsche dealership and ordered a Macan. “There isn’t a 19-year-old in Dorset (next to Bournemouth) that Dad hasn’t left behind at the traffic lights. They’ve never lived a conventional life, so When they told us they were going to buy a Porsche, we just smiled“explains one of his children.

And that passion for leaving behind everything in his path has not died within Derek Evans. If you ask him, he’s clear which Porsche will be next: “a Taycan. It takes me a while to get out of it but… you know, it’s amazing!”

What more can be said? Simply, I hope Mr. and Mrs. Evans enjoy their new Porsche Macan very much and intensely. Because here we will always defend buying a car that you simply like.

Without further reasons.
