an hour or so later, full of macdonalds breakfast, I arrived at the event, parked up and noticed the Black RS. The owner and his very attractive co-driver and I sparked up a conversation. Turns out it was a real one, but not only that, it had been owned by him since about 1974-5, never restored, just nurtured. Original paint, original panels ( obvs ) engine and gearbox. The car looked absolutely mint condition. The chap was lovely too, really interested in his Porsche's - also owning a Carrera 356 and seemed genuinely interested in my old jallopy. Cut to about 2 hours later, we crossed paths again on the 'paddock' sparked up another conversation ( me admiring his car even more ) and it turned out that the owner was an ex formula 1 driver who won the British GP..
there's no real point in this post, other than to report that I've seen the most original RS ever (IMO), but really to say how nice classic car ownership is. Mainly because of the genuinely nice people you meet and to say that I was hugely surprised with the quality of the cars at the event - not many Porsche to be fair, but a gullwing (never seen one in real life before ) a beautiful lagonda and some very expensive new stuff that all looks the same to me
- well worth the drive down to the new forest if he does it again.disco
and maybe a few of the cars too?
