Hi Helen
My 1st 356 is a RHD 1958 356A reg 29 PMY silver with red interior, i understand the car is already known to some enthusists of old!!.The car has only had occasional use over the past 25 years so I am sending the car straight to Paul at PRS For him to check over and sort a few bits and bobs, I hope to have the car in the north east by end of march so won,t have the car in time for Bedale but would love to come along anyway

Wow - you've definitely bought a good one. I photographed that car for GT Porsche magazine and it's proper grade-A fantastic. Nice work.

Thanks Jamie, Mark gave me some framed prints from the photoshoot they are absolutely top class, the way you captured the light on the car is just amazing i have not seen better pictures of a 356 in any of the mags or books
Will hopefully get to bedale on the 18th only about an hour and a bit from home, where exactly is near Bedale?

Haha - you got the ones off his office wall! I like that place - Mark is a good guy. I think you are going to love that car. I've shot a few now and it's the best by a million miles. I presume you got the 2-inch-thick history folder?

Not the great big one from the upstairs office he was keen to keep that one!! yes he seems a "canny lad" as we say up here in fact all the lads in the showroom were a real pleasure to speak to, a refreshing change from my previous main dealer experiences!!!
