DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I have a vivid memory of being utterly left standing in my 964, by a chipped 535d saloon with 4 passengers just after the Nordschleiffe entry barrier. I went from an E60 M5 (such a disappointment compared to my two e39 M5's :cry:) to an E61 535d which was an amazing car. A colleague was running an ...

Don't remember saying it was better than my RS though

Seriously - how about an article putting my RS against Mick's (my old) RS rep which is very accurate and putting the case for the real vs the replica? Be fun to get the cars together again eh Mick??

+1 for Andy's comments - my RS has run Avon CR's for over ten years - I wouldn't put anything else on.

Don't worry - I saw the original

Worth a try Barrie thanks, I know that Brian Redman was also involved in a dealership selling P road cars in the US about that time but this may be irrelevant. Brian worked closely with Vasek Polak and is a very approachable gentleman who helped me greatly with the research into my 959 prototype. L...

Yes I did think the registration would seem to imply it maybe came into UK later - this happens quite a lot with DVLA... Where was the reg??? I missed that one??? I've never seen an original UK sale car registered at a later date, I don't think. A couple of people have already described imported ca...

Thanks Disco - the wife says I can't accept kids in payment - we have two troublesome ones already :wink: I've just run out of steam on the restoration - it needs the passion and energy that it deserves to finish it and I just don't have any spare these days. I've been astounded by the number and qu...

Mike, I'm guessing you've already found out any information that Porsche hold but to reply to other comments, the UK was a small market for Porsche in those days with places like Hong Kong and South Africa both being more important RHD markets - following Ian's comments I'm wondering if she made her...

So I was right A 1969MY 119xxxxxx numbered 2.0ltr 911E manufactured 1968!

Ok, so it might be the FIRST 1969MY 119xxxxxx numbered 2.0ltr 911E manufactured 1968 made

I'm guessing the chassis number has to be something like 11920000x

That Gary is a detective! John, any further thoughts? Mike thinks 68 door handles, Bruce thinks 69 front wings Ahem? :lol: I was first with the '68 door handles and '69 quarter lights :wink: I have seen '68 door handles on very early '69 119xxxxx cars that were manufactured around the model year re...

Chassis number: 55735, engine number: P.90587 (547/1) was supplied to AFN on December 19th 1955 according to the Kardex (thanks Mike :wink:) and then to her first owner, Edgar B Wadsworth of Boldsworth Industries on January 14th of 1956 - although not registered until 20th April the same year as EBW...
