The motor expert's wife, Michelle Brewer, has posted on X, former Twitter, a video of the legendary vehicle.

In the clip, the famous host can be heard excitedly praising the Porsche 911s that's driving alongside him on the motorway.

The motor expert couldn't hold back from describing the noteworthy characteristics of the Porsche.

He said: "Wide body as well which is lovely. Beautiful condition."

The TV host then makes an educated guess that this particular Porsche must have been manufactured after 1975 because of its five gauges on the dashboard.

As they pass by the impressive ride, Brewer says: "Look at that. Looks amazing."

Porsche 911 was first introduced in 1964 as a more comfortable replacement for the German manufacturer's first model.

It has been praised for its enjoyable manoeuvring around turns and curves, with an excellent steering wheel.

The Porsche 911 gained its reputation as an ultimate sports car as it is the most usable sports car on the planet.

Beautifully engineered and heroically fast, the 911 has bagged a number of racing accolades throughout five decades.

It boasts a rear-mounted flat six engine and up until 1998, the 911 was famous for its air-cooling.

The iconic motor has one of the longest production runs of all time thanks to its sleek and classic exterior that doesn't go out of style.

Brewer managed to get his hands on the classic motor himself when he picked up the Porsche 911 at a pinch for just £5,000.

In the 2006 episode, Mike bought a gorgeous Porsche 911 2.7S Targa from 1976 after knocking the owner down from their £6,000 asking price.

The motor appeared to be a bargain and Mike exclaimed it was "the cheapest 911 in Britain!"

But some 18 years after the episode aired, a 911 Targa from the 1970s would now be worth a staggering thirteen times more than what Mike paid for it.

Indeed, judging by recent car listings, a 911 Targa from the mid-1970s can be priced at around £68,000.

Mike is known for his love of Porsches and has owned several models over the years.

A handful of those were spotted when his private collection was revealed to fans.

Indeed, he recently put his beloved 912E up for sale - a rare model that's just one of 2,099 made.

He also showed off a 1980s 911 he owns that's finished in red after it had been perfectly restored.

Meanwhile, some fans have noticed how Porsche recently ended a 60-year tradition by removing two iconic design features from their new 911 model.
