Probably my favourite 911 there today - I wonder how many people realise what a rare/valuable car this is ...

Agree with Andy. Spoke to the owner who was keeping it very low key. 1972 M471 factory development car with a potentially very interesting history. There were some super details on it.

Anyone get some more pictures of it?

The only shot of the rear has Ralph Junior in the picture I am afraid.

REH spent an inordinate amount of time with that (orange) car.

Anyone know anything about it?

Sure was pretty. :oops:

Great images - nice to see Bootsy resplendant with quiff, KS minus resplendent pony tail, chat to various folk and feel suitably invigorated by all things early Porsche.

Spirited drive back with several like minded individuals - my only concern is that for me now a white RS has the London Bus factor.

You want to keep an eye on it or she'll swipe it from you!

Afraid I liked the brown!

Lovely car that. Won a similar prize there a couple of years ago. The colour is either a special order colour or the 2.2 colour 'hellrot 023/7979'. I'm not quite sure which but it was ordered from the factory in that colour so it is not a later addition.

Ian.

Those friendly guys at R to RSR - good to meet you Andy & Graham - brought along an interesting 356A which is up for sale at £30k. They have all the original bits if someone would like it moved back towards stock and the original colour is that seen within the glove box. I think Sam was quite taken with it. :wink:

Apologies to Hendrik who happened to walk past at the wrong time and so was roped into an impromptu inspection. :oops:

Mr. Sadler seems to haunt a number of my photos.... :shock:

This car was a very low mileage T that I took quite a shine too. Although it doesn't show in the photos the paint was akin to brushed aluminium (and I'd leave it just as it is):

Great Pictures!! Thanks to Bootsy, Ferryman and the usual suspects on your great photography. I will post the official pics later in the week. there are some great aerial shots from the tower roof.

Wow, what a show for us!! cars + footfall up 20% on the gate and Vic Elford was a great guest. He quoted 'The Show restored my faith in Great Britain after years of not being very impressed' - praise indeed.

We worked very hard this year to bring a different sort of show to Hedingham, after years of feedback regarding our ' Static' show. I hope you agree it worked really well especially with the moving parade and the race cars traveling up the driveway. Dont think health and safety was an issue??????

Some more pics here

It felt like Hedingham but with the additions and changes it had a different edge to it. Well done
