Post by Lorenzo »

Ciao a tutti, I have known this nice website thanks to a post in a classic Heuer forum.
I'm a great Porsche fan and collector from Bologna, and I own some aircooled cars from 356 to 964. I'm also an avid collector for all sort of vintage Porsche automobilia.
And very interested too in classic Heuer and McQueen memorabilia!
Have fun!

Hi Lorenzo,

Welcome aboard! I think you will find many people here like their watches as you will see from the very popular thread on this forum.
So, what 356 do you own and have you had it a long time?

All the best

Ciao Lorenzo,

It would appear you share many a common interest so should feel right at home here :wink: :)

Enjoy the forum!

Oh, how about some photos of your fleet :?: :)

Welcome Lorenzo to DDK and enjoy.

There was a lovely low mileage 911T in burgundy with a very nice tan interior for sale last year in Bologna. Did you know it? Can't be many around in such good condition in that colour combination.

Regards
Mike

Hi Roy: a 1956 Speedster Super and a 1959 A Coupe with sunroof. Both cars were imported from the States in late 80'S and both restored from Retromobile Pavia in the same colors: condor yellow with green interior. I bought the Speedster in 1996 and the coupe five years later.

Ciao Mike, a friend of mine had a nice burgundy T for sale some time ago, but I think it was two years ago, maybe it's the same car.
Sometimes it happen to discover classic cars that have been hidden for years in garage near you. And even if I think to know most of the classic Porsche in my town, that's happened also for some vintage 911s in Bologna.

my RS

Post by Lorenzo »

This is my favourite: an original Gulf blue Carrera RS Touring. Car is one of the last ten built, originally delivered in Palermo in Sicily (to a Targa Florio big fan I suppose!). Limited slip diff. and air conditioning as original options.

Well it's a small world as my RS was also supplied new to Palermo and is one of the last few built. Do you know the chassis number of the beautiful gulf blue RS. Is it still in Italy?

Regards
Mike

Yes, it's in my garage.
The photo is from the Porsche Italian Parade 2009 in Riccione where I won the best in show.
I'll send you a pm with VIN.

Here another car of my collection that I love both to look at and to drive:

It's an original 914/6 modified in GT spec. with great attention to weight reduction.

Grazie Andrea. Sei pronto per Essen?

Many italian classic Porsche were exported to Germany and UK in the last 15 years.
Nice and original cars are quite rare now.
