TV - 'Impossible Engineering' looking for a 1966/67 911

Received today - posting in case anybody can help

Dear Sir/Madam,



I work for Twofour Broadcast an award winning television production company based in Plymouth. We are currently producing series 4 of ‘Impossible Engineering’ - our documentary series which showcases incredible feats of engineering around the world. With the help of industry experts, the series aims to highlight modern engineering masterpieces and to explore the historical innovations, pioneers and ground breaking technology which made them possible. Each hour long episode uses a combination of specially shot footage, experts interviews, archive material and graphics to tell these amazing stories. In the past, we have featured everything from incredible vehicles and technology, to extraordinary buildings and super-size structures.



We are producing a short historical segment about forged aluminium wheels to be included in a wider episode about the Bloodhound Super Sonic Car. The first series production car to feature aluminium forged wheels was the Porsche 911s in 1966/67 so I’m on the hunt for one of these beautiful cars to feature in our filming. I would like to request the help of your organisation to contact any owners who may be interested in taking part in our programme. The location of the car is not important, but it must be a running vehicle and have the original or restored ‘Otto Fuchs’ aluminium wheels.



Further info on the Otto Fuchs/911s story here:

Any assistance you can provide would be extremely helpful; I hope to hear from you soon.



Kind regards,


Emma

I can offer a '68 car with original 5.5's on if that's a help. Not the right paint pattern for '67, but happy to contact Emma to confirm what they're after.
