Bill Drysdale built a Porsche 904 sports car by himself after retiring at the age of 68. He first saw the car at Silverstone racetrack when he was young, and he wanted one immediately. During his working years, he could not afford to buy one, so he decided to build his own instead. The project took place after he retired, when he finally had enough time.
