CarreraG50 Posted 19March, 2013 Report Share Posted 19March, 2013 Hi All, A freind has just finished a big $$$$$ resto on an XBGT coupe,(for what he spent, could have got a great RS rep or the best SC/3.2 in the country) Anyway he traced who the original dealer was, got a hi-res photo of that dealers sticker, had a new one made up, just finishes of the resto nicely. So my car was delivered by John Newell Porsche, any one have a hi-res of the dealer sticker from 87. Probably a bit of a w*#k, but would be kinda cool... Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberpunky Posted 19March, 2013 Report Share Posted 19March, 2013 My ex was American and she was shocked we all have dealer stickers on our cars, as they don't do that in the US. Mine didn't have one but would have removed it, as unless they are paying me I am not advertising their business for free. Anyway I guess if it is a show car where things like that get points it might be worth doing but not something I would care about peace Cyberpunky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And any dealer that puts it back on after service - I rip it off and hand it back to them! So funny that I read the OP question and thought on oh thats a cool idea on an old porsche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withers Posted 19March, 2013 Report Share Posted 19March, 2013 Looking at John Newells site - they must have a copy of photo of their old logo. Look at the cool stuff on their website http://www.johnnewell.com.au/home/our-history I'd ask them - I bet they'd like the idea providing they are allowed to of course (maybe Porsche would object given they are no longer a dealer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted 19March, 2013 Report Share Posted 19March, 2013 ps. this is awesome (wish it had hamiltons on it though) http://www.rarespares.net.au/Pricelists/PriceList.aspx?productgroup=DECALS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 19March, 2013 Report Share Posted 19March, 2013 My first thought was rip it off but after a certain age , provenance means something. Everyone assumes my car is ex USA just because it's LHD. The sticker is a signal it ain't! My 944 has a Scuderia Veloce original sticker on it - and that's staying also.

cyberpunky Posted 19March, 2013 Report Share Posted 19March, 2013 My 952 was from Scuderia Veloce too, but sticker is long gone. I got it from another dealer but they didn't fit a sticker or I would have taken it off Russ, my old 1969 KE10 Corolla still had the AMI(the importers back then) badge on the side, which we refitted after the respray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted 19March, 2013 Report Share Posted 19March, 2013 I sourced an original "92.3 EON FM" sticker from the eighties. EON FM was a Melbourne FM radio station for all of you interstaters. i think it looks great and really keeps with the overall "yuppiness" of the car! I have a few other 80's stickers as back up. Ebay was the source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebay was the source. Great idea! I used to listen to EON FM - takes me back! When I had my pink xy, I always wondered what music used to be played through the speakers during it's early years. I'm sure I'll be wondering the same thing in the Porsche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smule Posted 19March, 2013 Report Share Posted 19March, 2013 Period stickers are pretty cool... the whole idea of people putting them on Fords and Holdens is to portray originality and show that the car is a "survivor"... these cars where worth nothing for many years and sat rusting in paddocks and garages and where used for parts to rebuild other cars... hence a window sticker is used to reflect this car was "garaged an driven by an old lady to church on sundays" Not to be a snob, but generally cars on this forum have had a more privilidged life and are not the by-product of a shell build up using other cars.... In saying that... I'd sport a period sticker on my car, but all the cool ones i've seen hark back to the 60's and 70's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She hadn't been stateside in a while lol but she was shocked seeing them on nearly every car. I will have to see if I can find my old sticker collection. think I might have had a cpl of the EON FM stickers. Mark I am the same, got stickers going back decades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
