No Siffert Autavia!

Post by milou »

Nope, I haven't purchased one yet. I almost did and then found a Seafarer produced for Abercrombie which I bought instead.

Hi Thomas - good to have you here on DDK !

For anyone who doesn't know of 'Milou', these threads make great reading - first is a pictorial account of the building of his fabulous garage:

& the second details the 'restoration' of his Andre Wicky-built ST :

Helen's police 356....

Post by milou »

Thank you Guys!

I read an article this month in GT Purely Porsche on Helen's 356.

I loved all the details and police accessories. That convinced me I shouldn't just read the threads on this Forum but contribute as well when possible.

My own garage featured in the same issue under "what's in your garage", some of the above photographs (the better ones) were taken by their photographer when they were in Switzerland for the motor show.

Milou

Have always enjoyed your posts with regards to the memorabilia on early S registry as well as the thread above with regard to the garage - that and maybe with a recording studio in the back - perfection !!!
