How to Stack them!

Recently spotted on 356 Talk's website.  A Car transporter with at least 7 cars.

     Trapped at the bottom a 356a by the looks of it.  

 

 

 

 

 

What Reutter Badge is for you?

11 May 2010

   

This badge has not been available before as a reproduction.

Known at the Diamonds Reutter badge, it was used on European A model cars. 

The difference for the USA cars was the word GERMANY replaced the diamonds.

 

 

 

 

 

What's new in the parts department?

21 Feb 2010

   

We thought we would take a look at what is newly on the market for our 356's...

This month we look at beige and black interior knobs.   The new reproductions are made in Switzerland, but thankfully available from the usual parts shops in the USA.

Priced reasonably compared with trying to purchase good originals that all match in colour.

 

 

 

 

Congratulations Mike!

15 Feb 2010

   

For the third year running the Porsche Club has won the team's event at the Annual Intermarque Concours D' Elegance at the Ellerslie Racecourse.   This years entries were the amazing 1970 911E of Greg Gaylor and Mike Bitossi's freshly restored and gorgeous 63 356C coupe.

Mike's car (Eileen) also won overall best car of the show scoring 547 points out of a possible 590, and beating the next place car (a 64 Ferrari 250GT Lusso) by a massive 21 points!  (I used your own words Mike)

Well done guys and well done to all the supporters, cleaners, detailers etc.

Detailed results are available on: www.concours.org.nz
