Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
The quotable Jim Glickenhaus reckons he's put 20,000 miles on his 206 Dino Competizione Pininfarina; “Not putting miles on your Ferrari is like not having sex with your girlfriend so she’ll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.”

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
First journey for jnr's covid project.... 54 'essential' miles. Trouble free, goes well, feels good. He's only 15 so I was works driver. He's really worked hard over the last 10 months on every aspect of a full rebuild from bits, putting in many 100s of hours. A proud moment and a great result.....

Whose body work did he use - Keith Roach ?

Fantastic, great to see the interest from a new generation.

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
It is an old Stuart Rolt body, made in 1981 or so. It was on a friends Ulster rep, very tired after much trialling and a mishap with a horse! He deemed it an uneconomic repair, se we rescued it with much of a new floor and a lot of repair patches.....Lightweight_911 wrote:.
