DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Hi All Not sure if anyone is still following this (or interested) as it's really is down to the boring little details now, but only three years after ‘Hillclimber's’ sage advice I’ve finally gotten round to fitting some mats… As with all things internet, I’ve spent (wasted) countless hours trying to...

Hi All
From ‘Wheels Up North’ last weekend…
A fake Spyder next to what Porsche now call a Spyder (it’s bloody huge)!

Hi All A (late) cheeky pic from behind the scenes at Goodwood FOS a couple of weeks ago… Interestingly (to me anyway) the car is not badgered as a DB4 and appears to be fitted with Zagato style seats. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240724/12d7b03a8e9638749bafd147f01f0652.jpg Sent from my iPhone ...

The Cam covers look a little too 'plain' for a 75, I'm trying to remember what the 2.5L V6 in my old 'Green' Cloverleaf looked like!
I think it's from an earlier car (than my 75) so I'm with Andy on this. Is it from an Alfa 6?

Hi There
Glad you enjoyed the thread, I hope you've managed to contact Paul, He seems to be constantly busy but his work is worth the wait.

Hi All
Paul (spyder finder) is still out there building amazing 356 & 550 ‘reps’ his work is second to none…
He rebuild my 550, see ‘550 overhaul in the ‘Replica’ section.
I’m sure he’ll be alone soon to tell you more!

All the best

PS. Feel free to PM me.

Not what it says on the tin…[emoji6]

Hi All Spotted while driving North (having collected my 997) towards 'The Lakes' on the M6 around 12:30... An orange 914 headed south around J24 then around J29 an off white early 911 (SWB?) on a trailer going North. The 911 was wearing roundels and 'race' numbers, in off white with white roundels a...

Hi All
A little last minute but is anyone going to 'Total Retro' at the Westmoreland County Show Ground this weekend (Sunday May 12th).
As it's barely two miles from me I'll be in the 550 'rep' even if it rains...

Come and say "Hi" if you're attending...

Hi All Here’s my latest bit of fakery, as I’m sure you have read my car has a type I engine (that’s 546 ‘types’short of what the real thing has) and as I’m not likely to be buying a Fuhrmann four cam anytime soon (or ever) these seemed like a little bit of fun… https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240...

Hi All Time for a small update, while only a small detail it’s a very tactile one… The ‘cheap & cheerful’ Beetle style gear knob has cracked (yes, I may be a little ham fisted) so its Roger Bray Restorations to the rescue with a rather smart Bakerlite 356 replacement. https://uploads.tapatalk-cd...
