DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Amazing. In every sense.

Such a shame that Carrera has been stripped of all its history - ex-John and Caroline Lucas race car, with great PCGB race history in the UK, preceded by earlier comp history in Kenya etc. Now just another 'outlaw' 356 with a posh interior. Sad, very sad.

Oh well. Looked nice to me at least but what do I know?…

.

I remember watching it racing numerous times - usually with Caroline driving - before Roger Bray bought/restored it ...

With its Autocavan-built Scat split-port head VW motor! It was so fast but the 911 guys couldn't work out how – and as few knew what a 356 engine should look like, nobody thought anything was amiss when they looked in the engine bay!

Can we have a full tech digest of this engine please Keith, sounds fascinating? W

An Apal Speedster - Dutton took a mould off one and tried selling them in the UK back in the late 1970s. I think they only did one or two. Had one on test while I was at Hot Car magazine. The rear bumper fell off going over a level crossing…

Previously owned by two other DDKers - Philip Taysom & Mick Cliff - before Helen acquired it ...

And me after.
It was a great little car.

Looks fab!!
