Car manufacturer Porsche is celebrating its iconic 917 model's 40th birthday this year.

And car insurance may be a wise investment for those choosing to mark the occasion by forking out on their own luxury vehicle.

Porsche notes that for many of those who have a passion for cars, the Porsche 917 is the "ultimate long distance endurance racer".

It was the first Porsche to win the Le Mans 24 Hours and also holds the record for the fastest ever victory in this event.

While everyday drivers may not put their cars under such strain, before driving a long distance Brits may find it wise to check their breakdown insurance policy will cover them for any problems.

As part of the birthday celebrations, Porsche will also test human endurance levels with an attempt on the world record for the longest distance covered in 48 hours by a team of 12 runners using treadmills.

Motor fans will be able to watch this take place at the Porsche stand at this summer's Goodwood Festival of Speed.

The car has been voted the best racing car ever by a number of motor magazines in the past.

Car insurance from InsureandGo can cover any vehicle, from sports car to everyday cars for normal life.
