How Porsche tuner Mr Ruf accidentally bought a prototype 911 for his first car. Last year Porsche celebrated 60 years of the 911 and 75 years as a company. Alois Ruf finished the restoration on his first car, which had transpired to be the oldest 911 in existence. It isn't actually a 911, but a '901' prototype model. Jonny Smith met and interviewed the man behind the Germany tuning house that produced the infamous CTR Yellowbird - the fastest car in the world (back in the late 1980s).
