A 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS, reimagined by Sean Wotherspoon using heritage colour codes, patchwork materials, and a visual language shaped by vintage culture. Wotherspoon doesn’t build for attention. He builds for memory. His style is clear. Loud colours. Textures with history. Materials that wear in, not out. That’s what you get here. A Porsche that looks like it came from someone’s life, not a spec sheet. The base car is a 2.7 RS, already one of the most iconic air-co
