1979 Le Mans winning Porsche 935

Porsche collector Bruce Meyers is the perfect owner

In a garage full of legendary vehicles, one in particular stands out: the Porsche 935. The Porsche 935 was the first rear-engine race car to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans. On the occasion of the classic car’s centennial, we visited the 1979 winning vehicle in its current owner’s garage. His summary: “I am simply its custodian. There’s Le Mans, and almost nothing else matters,” clarifies Bruce Meyer from the get-go. Exactly 100 years after the 24-hour race was first held, the California native wishes to show us an extra special vehicle – the overall winner of 1979. But first, the real estate investor who made a name for himself in the automotive world takes us on a tour of his garage. It is home to some of the planet’s most historically significant vehicles.
