Gratuitous Porsche Pics


Recommended Posts

The wheels look and proportions look very 356-ish, but I've never seen a 356 with a reverse/"suicide" door.

So either it's somebody's "special" or it's a very early design study (in the olden days doors were hinged at the b-pillar instead of the a).

You truly are amazing y'know! A walking, talking, breathing encyclopaedia!

From http://cairo7sport.b...totype-for.html

Do you have an extra $275,000 in your pocket? If you do, Cooper Classics in New York has a ultra rare proposition for you: the sixth "first Porsche" is for sale. We are talking about a rare Porsche 356 prototype built in 1948 - the pre-production version of the later factory 356 cars.

It features an are one-off aluminum body and Metallic Green exterior paint with a Tan Interior.

It carries a unique provenance with ownership history including some of the major players in early Porsche history including M. Debrunner, president of VW AG Switzerland, and Ruprecht von Senger. Von Senger financed and established the early Porsche dealership network in Europe much like Max Hoffman would do later in the U.S. in 1953. The car was last registered in Switzerland in 1959. It was put into storage for some 20 years and eventually sold to Michael Rizzuto, a restoration specialist in the United States . Mr. Rizzuto sold the car in unrestored condition to film producer Monty Montgomery in 1988. Mr. Montgomery commissioned a full restoration and upon completion in 1992 it was exhibited at Pebble Beach

Going by the redness, it's a tail light.

Going by the smallness, it's on something 50's-ish...pre-A 356?

:o

Nope, try again!

Thanks Vas I will give it a go, but I have been changing the size on the system on the MAC but to no avail. But I will put them on photo bucket and see if I can do any better.

I know right! Truly gorgeous...seen the DD a guy round Richmond drives? I see him quite often in his RS 718. Even tried giving him a hand one night he broke down outside Rod Laver Arena! Now THAT is dedication!
