The 1971 Porsche 911T of Chris Koch and Madalina Ene recently set off from Italy on a fantastic round-the-world drive. Starting in Florence, their route took them through Switzerland and Austria before crossing northern Europe and into Scandinavia. 

The 2.2-litre 911 was serviced and inspected here at Wardington before the tour began and had a few modifications to Chris’s specification. As the 911T is not a fully fledged rally car, their “ultimate round-the-world road trip” will challenge the car and its crew, which is the aim of the endeavour. 

The globetrotters recently arrived in Iceland and we were delighted to receive an update on progress. “Our journey is going well so far,” said Chris. “We had a few minor technical issues, but we managed to solve most of them with the kind help of some Porsche workshops and enthusiasts.”

We wish them well on their epic voyage, which has now reached North America! Follow their progress on Instagram or on their website.
