At 92 and 94, Derek and Audrey Evans celebrate 70 years together by buying a vibrant Porsche Macan—proof passion knows no age. Read their inspiring story now!
When most people in their 90s have already hung up their keys, Derek Evans (92) and his wife Audrey (94) decided to turn a milestone into a celebration on four wheels. After seven decades of marriage, the British duo marked their 70th anniversary by driving away in a brand‑new Porsche Macan in a striking Crayon hue.
A Milestone Gift
The Macan was delivered at Porsche Centre Bournemouth, where staff were stunned to learn that the buyers were a couple who had never owned a Porsche before. For Derek and Audrey, the sleek SUV is not just a vehicle—it’s a symbol of a lifelong partnership that still feels youthful and adventurous.
From an Austin 7 to a 260‑hp SUV
When the couple got married in the 1950s, their first car was a modest Austin 7 with just 7 horsepower. Fast‑forward 70 years, and they now command a performance SUV that produces over 260 hp, features cutting‑edge infotainment, and offers multiple driving modes to suit every mood.
Why Age Doesn’t Matter
“We always joked about buying a Porsche,” Derek admits. “One day we thought, why not make it real?” The pair now hit the gym twice a week, stay active, and are eager to explore the Macan’s dynamic handling and electric‑assist options.
The First Drive
After taking delivery, Derek described the experience as joining a “special club.” He has already taken the Macan for a spin, tested its Off‑Road and Sport settings, and even tried a Porsche 911 and the all‑electric Taycan. He laughed that exiting the Taycan took a moment longer than usual because he was so thrilled.
Looking Ahead: More Porsche Dreams
What started as a single purchase may soon become a duo. Derek hinted at the possibility of a second Porsche—perhaps another Macan or even a classic 911—to keep the excitement rolling. Their story proves that passion and the desire for new experiences are not bound by the number of candles on a birthday cake.
As the Evans celebrate 70 years of love on the road, they show the world that age is just a number, and the open road is always inviting—especially when it’s behind the wheel of a Porsche.
