Thanks Andy. I really appreciate your time & effort.
I'm guessing the other one might be reference to something similar in the production process? Body material (steel) ? lead filling? Hand built? I'll see if I can find anything.
This is now what I have. The third box under the 'porsche' box seems to be 'ges.' short for gesehen - checked.
Mike from PRS sent a scan of the box on a motor blueprint he had, which very helpfully confirms most of the items in the lower left box.
There's just two more terms for me to find.
Cheers
Gary

Hello again.
Barnie, over on 'thesamba' seems to think the first part of the top right word is 'Paßteil / ??? = fittingpart?? '
Does anyone have any further thoughts? Thanks very much in advance again.

Hello again.
I just found this :
Which shows the words much clearer.
I've made an attempt to translate the top right word that I'm missing.
It seems to be something like roßlorffißchan (which is a total stab in the dark at the charatcters) which google translates to 'horsepower' which was encouraging. But, when translating horsepower the other way I get Pferdestärken.
The other word seems to be an abrviation - something like Stclk??
Once again, any help gratefully received. I'm soooo close : )

The word in the central box at the bottom is probably 'Stck' (abbreviation of Stück) ...

Thanks again, Andy. I'd never have got this done without you. Please PM me your address & I'll will send you an A2 print when it's done ... if you want it?
Just need the beginning of that other flachen word. The fact that the one before is 'finished surfaces' could this be something to do with unfinished or rough surfaces? I'm not sure what that would refer to but you never know??

Hello. Slight delay in posting this since my flurry of posts trying to work out the German text but I think it's done, with the invaluable help of Andy / Lightweight_911.
Here's what I have:
I just need to edit the actual car in a couple of places then I think I'm done.
I'll post the finished article when I have.
Thanks for all the help : )
