1st Posted 29June, 2015 Report Share Posted 29June, 2015 Hi, I'm seeking help, does anyone have any images of the Porsche stand at the 1983 Melbourne Motor Show ? I've recently acquired what Porsche have confirmed as the first 911 Cabriolet to come to Australia (Oct '82 build) and it was understood to have been on the Hamilton's stand at this show.I have the program but it was printed in advance so has no images of the actual stand, and I've bought a few period Wheels and Modern Motors but no pics of the Porsche stand sadly.The show was held at the Royal Exhibition building, March 10 to 20th, 1983.Thanks in advance SK.

Harvs11 Posted 29June, 2015 Report Share Posted 29June, 2015 Congrats on your new toy. I think that makes 2 show ponies within PFA. I went to a few shows back in the '80's. It's a good excuse to dust off the photo albums and see what's lurking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1st Posted 29June, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 29June, 2015 can't remember whether this went to alan hamiltons wife or a lady named carol alpar?is it red?It's GP white with linen/tan and a black roof. Porsche Cars Aust have advised it was the first RHD Cab chassis here, and there always was an intimation that it was the motor show car; however the books list it as having been delivered on 17.2.83. So, it just might not be as it was with it's first owner a month before the Motor Show, although early cars do often get 'lent' for such events.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
