DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Only saw 80k reached . There was an extra bit of documentation put up late on , letter from Porsche with build data , the engine number looked different to that shown in one of the mechanical pictures , unfortunately I did not record the number on the letter !

Not long to go now , assume only the seller knows what the reserve is....maybe the Italian racing driver will buy it....

Anyone got a set of Weber IDS carbs for it ?

A friend asked me to look at the auction , he was attracted by the Historika resto , and its an S and supposedly matching numbers but no CoA seen. I found it hard to read the documentation on the site and thought the pictures were not very professional or detailed. Armed with only that to go on , I ...

Who does carb rebuilds in the UK ?
Last time I had one done it was Solexes at Fenn Lane Motorsport , since Chris Flavell died I am out of touch with them .

What is recommended ?

Ok guys , thanks for the recommendations

Goes well but have to leave a fair bit of braking distance , especially in motorway (70mph) traffic - usual prob...

Interesting thread . I have always put the most expensive highest octane fuel in my Porsches as they generally are expensive to run anyway !
