DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

A 'brace' of 356A's available at Paragon with prices from mid thirties to mid sixties.

The more expensive car looked stunning in their showroom window on Sunday afternoon:

No affiliation! Just for your information

The silver and red 356A has a known history and I remember seeing it a few times years ago when it belonged to a guy in the PCGB. The current owner is still I guess at the moment the wife of the owner of Paragon.

" GT Porsche" mag did a very nice write up of this car in Dec 06 and the photo's of it were really great. She wanted to keep the car then I wonder why she has changed her mind?

Mind you, you could buy a lot of car exotica for that money!!

Roy

sure can and that's a nice looking car in that condition.. lot of money but it's alot of car..

If that first one is the one I shot a few years back, it's properly f-ing incredible.

James,

It is the same car you shot back a few years ago. I must say your photo's of that "A" were just about the best I have ever seen. The light off the sea and onto the silver 356 set off the shape so well!!

You also said at the end of the article you wanted one yourself! Well its a certainly a super car and here's your chance but do you have the 62K?

Seriously I don't keep that many magazines these days but I have kept that one because of your photo's. Just tell me were you lucky that day or did you plan that setting?

Thank you again fior your work.

Cheers Dave

Hi Dave, you sure it's the brother and not the sister you have there?
Well, if it's anywhere near as nice as the coupe you've a stunning car. And also quite an enviable collection of others if you don't mind me saying

Hi Roy. I can't remember who wrote the article, but it wasn't me! I just do the pictures

I reckon I could maybe scrape £62k if I sold off everything I own. But this is not a car to drive in your underwear.

1980 I was er.... not even at Big school then and my Dad had a Brown Allego......dear god no wounder I buy so many Porsches

Dave,

I would get the Dec 2006 GT Porsche copy as you have 30PMY. It was a good article written by Dominic Holtham ( just to remind Jamie above) and well photographed by Jamie.

And I liked the comment above by Jamie as yes, however nice, it would drain most peoples resources.

Roy

So, could anyone confirm how many 356 A's AFN supplied in '58? Or just RHD's in general?

If anyone could profer this info I'd like to know as my book only mentions total production figures

Much obliged kind sirs
