DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Thanks for the add to the forum. About 15 years ago I had a 718RSK kit which had been imported from South Africa. I rebuilt it and raced it in hillclimbs and sprints. It ended up in Australia and is currently for sale. I thought that itch had been scratched but when I was offered a part complete kit Mrs Marvel said I had to have it. That was seven years ago. When the car raced in the 1959 Le Mans 24hr by Ed Hugus and Ernie Erickson came up for auction with a price guide of $4-5M I decided to build mine as a replica. I’m planning on driving it to this years LM24.

Welcome! Sounds great. Would be good to see some pictures of your car

Struggling to reduce the size of the pictures so the forum will accept them.

Can always use https://postimages.org

Looks great

I must confess to not normally being a fan of the RSK kit, even though John Jobber of GP and I were greatest of friends, but I have to say that looks superb! Brilliant!

A real deal is on display at my club at moment 1959 chassis 32

The car I based mine on is 718-024.

Damn that looks nice

If I knew how to post image here I’d post photo of 032 I took yesterday

I had that problem. They need to be resized in postimages.org

When you upload, use the drop menu to choose the size. I usually use 17in monitor...

I think I’ve a few pictures from a recent visit to the Porsche Museum that may be of help/interest.

I’ll do some homework on how to post pictures and will add later
