Helen, have you been on
Sportomatic.org ? Lots of stuff on there, they may have a manual available for download. You can start it in P or N, makes no odds AFAIK.

The PCGB used to have a Sportomatic Register ran by Peter Cook - don't know if it's still active but the email address was :
sporto@porscheclubgb.com
might be worth a try - or call the Club office ?

Would love to come for a ride in this car when you've mastered it, Helen: I've never been in a Sporto before, but from what I gather they are good fun. I know Phil (PMJT) really rates his early one

just found a sales brochure on one as well...... I can send them both for you to look at in detail ...
it does say in the front if you have just bought this porsche then you have time to read this on how to drive it...
