Any further details or photos of the cards, cars, etc for us non-attendees Robert?

It was great Robert. Well done. My son in law is just fresh into new/old Porsches, but couldn’t be there so I’ve shot every car and it’s card for him to take in at his leisure.

Only one thing to add really - with such a fine collection of RS’s by the keep, a knowledgable tannoy interview with just 2 or 3 of the owners (Simon Kidston etc) would have been pretty compelling.

Great day though. Still trying to decide if the teatime trio were new wave or old stock.

If Robert doesn’t have them I’ll try and put my pics of them together and post them on here Mike

Thanks. Much appreciated. Be interested to see the details of what was on display.

Mike

Great trip up and back in my 356, met up with many friends, great meal saturday evening, with great company.
always been a nice friendly place, and well organised, but...........This may be an unpopular statement, hows about a venue more central in UK to attract more reluctant travellers?
Cheers

The text on the cards

MMU 911C

MMU 911C is the earliest RHD 911. In Bali blue with a black interior, it was built in January 1965 along with other variants of the new model and initially had by a 5-digit prototype identity. Peter Bulbeck talks of a winter trip to Stuttgart with John Aldington to deliver a pair of 904s and collect 300474 and a RHD 356. The 911 was registered as MMU 911C in April and retained by AFN for a year or more for testing and training duties. More recently, it’s been with the current owner for over 25 years.

LGK 6D

LGK 6D was the fifth UK RHD 911 by chassis number. In slate grey with a red interior, it was completed in late-July 1965 shortly before the factory’s annual break and delivered, along with a handful of other cars, to AFN in August. It’s possible the car was the subject of a cancelled order – in any event, it wasn’t registered until March 1966. The car has appeared in various significant articles and publications over the years, including Peter Morgan’s The Original 911: A Restorer’s Guide.

FB 7083/SWB 911C

A 1966 model year car from late-1965, this was the first 911 to be imported into New Zealand. In common with the Australian market, RHD was more or less mandatory there at the time. The car has more recently been extensively restored in its original light ivory with a red pepita interior by model experts here in the UK. It has also been given a distinctive and appropriate UK registration.

GVB 911D

In polo red with black, GVB 911D was a press car before its successful, if brutal, rallycross debut in 1967. AFN promptly entered the car in the British Saloon Car Championship – at the time the 911 was classed as a touring car – with Vic Elford at the wheel. They duly beat the Lotus Cortinas to a championship class win. The car continued to race in the following season. Now in long-term ownership, it has occasionally been seen in historics, including the Aldington Trophy at Goodwood in 2015.

OLL 6E

The spring 1967 series of OLL registrations contains some interesting cars. OLL 2E was Gordon Durham’s Rallye Kit 911S. OLL 4E was Dan Margulies’ similar car and raced by him and Rob Mackie in the 1967 Targa Florio. OLL 6E and OLL 7E were more regular 911S’s. OLL 8E was Karl Richardson’s Rallye Kit 911S as hill-climbed at Mont Ventoux and elsewhere. OLL 6E is a rare survivor from the group and has recently been restored in its original colours of Aga blue with black.

YOU 4

The 911S first appeared in 1966, but competition-prepped cars weren’t supplied until spring 1967. These were the forerunners of the TRs. Dickie Stoop collected his in April, with a Rallye Kit and other engine mods, a Nurburgring ratio gearbox, limited slip diff, 100-litre tank, roll hoop and a passenger sports seat. The engine was later upgraded to twin-spark spec. Stoop had considerable success with YOU 4 – the number also seen on his 904 – until his untimely death in 1968.

HPR 100F

A carefully-specified and highly original RHD 1968 911S in polo red with a black houndstooth interior, HPR 100F is now in the hands of Simon Kidston, the son of its first owner, and shares garage space with a 911 Carrera 2.7 RS, among other desirable things. The car has become something of a reference point and has appeared in various significant articles and publications over the years, including Peter Morgan’s The Original 911: A Restorer’s Guide.

TMD 7F

The 911R was a prototype and something more production-based was required for other sporting classes. The competition-spec 911T – known as the TR – weighed less than an S, but was otherwise similar and ran to the same Group 3 regs. The first of a handful of RHD examples was Dan Margulies’ tangerine car. Margulies and Rob Mackie drove TMD 7F at Mugello in 1968, having previously run a RHD Rallye Kit 911S on the Targa Florio. The car then retired to a quieter life before being found by Josh Sadler and restored to original spec by Autofarm.

Thanks Robert. A very impressive display. I only wish HC was a little nearer. Hope you had plenty of interest.

Regards
Mike

Great details. Thanks Robert.

Spot on. Obviously Matt is a little timid.

Excellent display Robert.

These are the cars (in Robert’s order). I’m sorry but I didn’t manage to capture all the cards but you have Robert’s original words now anyway. I always try to shoot interiors as they’re equally as important, but they only really work if the window is open. This is the first batch. On the last pic I noticed that the cleaning cloth was trapped under the frunk. Accurate detail.

The second batch. Hopefully I’ve got them all right - does my head in doing this on Tapatalk

Fantastic looking cars. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent information and pictures
