‘Toys for Boys’ Collection: A Dream Come True for Car Enthusiasts
Imagine having a collection of cars so special, so unique, that it becomes more about the art of craftsmanship and passion for design than merely vehicles for driving. This is the reality for the ‘Toys for Boys’ Collection, an awe-inspiring assembly of six Porsche 911 GT cars and a Man truck for hauling them, all curated by Austrian architect and luxury residence designer, Alexander Serda.
The Inspiration Behind the Collection
Inspired by the simplicity and joy of a child’s toy, Alexander Serda took his fascination with a wooden Porsche car hauler and three tiny Porsches to an entirely new level. He envisioned a life-sized version of this set, but with the sophistication and elegance that echoes his work as an architect. This collection is not just about possessing beautiful cars; it’s about embracing a theme, an idea, and turning it into reality.
What’s in the Collection?
The ‘Toys for Boys’ collection is an epitome of purity and luxury, sticking strictly to naturally aspirated 991-series 911 GT cars. Let’s take a closer look at what this exceptional set includes:
- A Carrera White 2016 911 R with red stripes and an extended leather interior, including 918 Spyder-style seat inserts
- A Black 2018 911 GT3 Touring
- A Guards Red 2018 911 GT3 Clubsport with a manual transmission
- A Carrera White 2018 911 GT3 Cup featuring a six-speed sequential gearbox, adjustable suspension, and air jacks
- A Carbon and Carrera White 2018 911 GT3R Carbon with a six-speed sequential transmission and air jacks
- A Racing Yellow 2019 911 GT3 RS Weissach with black stripes and a carbon interior
The dedication to perfection is evident, as all road cars have never been registered, and the track cars have never seen the race track, maintaining them in pristine condition, all with delivery miles only.
The Prize Jewel: The Man Truck and Rolfo Trailer
To transport these magnificent machines, the collection comes replete with a behemoth of a truck, a Volkswagen-owned Man TGX 18.640, powered by a 15-liter, six-cylinder diesel engine. Coupled with this powerhouse is a six-car carrier from Italian firm, Rolfo, featuring ultra-low loading capabilities for effortless handling of these precious cargoes.
A Package Deal
The ‘Toys for Boys’ collection stands testament to the idea that some things are meant to stay together. Sold only as an entire set, these cars come packaged with their designated hauler, ensuring that the buyer not only acquires the vehicles but also the means to transport them in style. This is a non-negotiable aspect of the sale, emphasizing the collection’s integrity and Alexander Serda’s vision.
Located in the UK and presented by the UK Porsche specialist outfit RPM Technik, this collection signifies more than just ownership of rare cars; it represents a piece of art, a slice of history, and a testament to automotive passion. Prospective buyers are encouraged to inquire, as the price is only revealed upon application. But as any car enthusiast knows, when it comes to a collection of this caliber, the experience and joy of ownership are truly priceless.
Why Now?
Having cherished and meticulously maintained this collection for years, Alexander Serda believes it’s time to pass on the torch. Initially intended to feature at the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed for Porsche’s 65th anniversary, the collection never made its public debut due to timing issues with the acquisition of the 2019 GT3 RS.
Now, after years of perfect preservation and anticipation, the ‘Toys for Boys’ Collection is looking for a new home, ready to be admired, appreciated, and maybe even driven by a new guardian of these automotive treasures. It’s a unique opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts to own a slice of Porsche history, brought together by a vision that began with a simple child’s toy.
