One of my favourite DDK cars. Seeing it and hearing it on the Scottish Highland Tour in 2014 was a highlight. I have a short video of you blasting through a Scottish Glen somewhere Andy.

Mike

I think it’s at the top of page 8 on the Highland Tour thread. Sadly the link doesn’t seem to work anymore and I’ve no idea how to recover it. It’s on Vimeo.

- stretching the criteria somewhat as it's not really a 'pic' but read this on a well-known Porsche specialist's website earlier :

“We’re currently at £300K plus for a full 356 restoration on your donor vehicle, not forgetting the 2 year wait once we have a slot ! “

:shock:

Classic car (Porsche) trade is going well then...

Still, better by far than 'We are having to close due to lack of business'.

Such a car - likewise, wonderful memories of following it. I recall it getting lost in Nurburg once! Although the owner got even ‘more lost’ in Baden Baden
