If that’s the case why photograph it from an angle where an old beemer is blocking the shot? :wink:

The little Green car made the trip no problem one thousand miles put on the clock in the end.
A cancelled return ferry at Dieppe gave us another long drive up to Calais in the early hours
of the morning, off we headed up to Calais through little sleepy villagers in a convoy of very noisy classic cars including my Sebring exhaust, sorry to the locals!
A fantastic trip, roll on 2020. :cheers: :cheers:

Thanks Bootsy. Every time I drive this car I’m amazed how well it drives and realise what Porsche is all about and how these cars paved the way for what we have in today’s cars, a first class vehicle. Happy 70th Birthday Porsche.

Got a clean shot at it later though: Benchmark home resto and paint :)
