Just came across this photo on the Autosport forum, looks like Oulton Park August '13. Some nice rallycross action! Better late than never...

Thanks

https://revslib.stanford.edu/catalog/jj184wn0067 Interesting that Porsche appears to have shown Glockler number 4 wearing a Porsche script on their stand at the '53 Frankfurt Motor Show in March, just before the debut of the 550 Spyder at the Nurburgring Eifelrennen in May '53 (driven by Helm Glockl...

I was speaking to Hendrik in the bar about that (so correct me if I've got any of the details wrong Hendrik!) Connaught Engineering imported 5 cars to the UK prior to AFN taking over the franchise. This Coupe and a Cab (which appeared in all the magazines some years ago and now resides in Malaysia) ...

Some shots from the Pre-A International hosted in the New Forest by Jon Devereux & Amanda Hall.

Looks like an ill-conceived attempt to re-create the Italian Job stunt. Don't know how to insert the funky gif but if you've seen the film as many times as I have you can probably gif it from memory...

Some nice period footage of the West German police in action. You'd think they could crack a smile given their company car...

Too much coffee before setting out resulted in an unplanned photo opportunity; 356A on the A356: http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah254/hugosheers/P1040581_zpsnkmpazcu.jpg There's something Mad Max about this T2 about to ...

Not a John story as such but I remember seeing that 356 racing at Brands Hatch in a one make series when I was a youngster, which I'm sure influenced my choice of Porsche... It was during its 'apostrophe' era so may have had Caroline at the wheel. The car cropped up again a couple of decades later i...

Latest from Tuthill. Not sure who the 'what a tool' line is aimed at though...

Insurance values are a tricky one. Tools like this and asking prices only act as a guide. The only way to get an accurate value of your own car at a point in time is to sell it, but then you won't need insurance!
