DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Saw this at stanford hall and wondered if it belonged to anyone who uses this site. It had a small card in the window saying it was a 53 but it has front horn grills so I think that makes it a 54 model. I get the feeling it is not a recent import but its hard to tell. It was not a concourse car but looked quite honest with what looked liked a good original interior. It was getting quite a lot of interest from the vw crowd. cool car.

912 uk must know of this one surely.

Yes I know of the car but as yet not the owner. I have taken about 40 photo's of this car for details.

I think's been restored Just right. It's not a gloss finish if you know what I mean ( eg the USA way )

If any one does know the owner I would love to catch up one day. I last saw the car some years ago, at a PCGB do at Highclear so that must be 2001 ish..

Great car and I hope I can get mine to look like that in the future.

thanks for the pictures as all mine are on film.. ( gosh that was along time ago !!!!!!! )

I need a few of these for the new 356 register web site I am finishing off..

here's a hint.



So I just need to ask a certain person for help making stickers up.. I will be funding these myself. So if you send details of your car for the register LHD or RHD in a club or not in a club.. with a Porsche engine or with a VW engine I don't care as long as it's a 356 and in the UK.. I want to hear from you..and you will get a sticker. More detail on the lauch of this project later.. just need some time to finish it..

Really nice bloke.
We have just serviced it and it is as good as it looks.

Hi
the Pre A used to be mine ,I imported it in 1992 from sunny ohio replaced a bodged RH sill and A post and went motoring , It went to Stuttgart , Venice , south of France ,Le Mans , and Cornwall a few times once with a surf board on its roof , fun times . When Geoff bought it from me he wanted it smartened up before he showed it to his wife so it had the manky bits removed , not too much really , and was repainted by a friend of mine , Its chassis No is 51187 engine No 32000 and its a two peice case 1500 normal which actually goes very well with only oil temp being an issue on high speed hot day runs , at night it ran at around ninety all night across France with no probs. The motor was rebuilt by me a few years ago , it had a blowing head and a lttle end rattle and it seemed wise to have a proper look as these engines are a bit thin on the ground.. Geoff is a great chap and loves the car , the horn grills are the result of an accident many years ago as the front panel was changed very neatly , it was actually built Aug '53.
