Hi Everyone my name is Sean Davis from Kent. I have recently bought a 1959 356a from PRS Services. You can follow my exploits with the car in GT Porsche Magazine starting Sept Issue 2010 Page 102 / 103. My other vehicles include a 1960 Jag Mk2 (owned 5 years) - 1961 Lambretta Li 125 (owned 15 years) - 1956 Lambretta LD 125 unrestored (owned 1 year) - 1960 Vespa GS (owned 1 year). All the vehicles are used regularly and have been bought for life.
My company Creative FX wraps vehicles and supplies liveries and badging to the Automotive Industry. Our website is www.fxuk.net - to see us in action just search CREATIVE FX WRAPS on YouTube.
I have owned a Karmann Ghia in the 1980's but always hankered for a 356.[/img]

Hey Bootsy thanks for that...what's the Heuer link? I wear a 1970's Autavia and also have some stopwatches and a reissue Steve McQueen Monaco. Am hankering for a genuine 70's Monaco. Any ideas / advice???

The link to www.heuerheritage.co.uk is my watch site where I have a number of my watches for sale and trade.

Happy to help with sourcing a 70s Monaco (and indeed have one in my collection at the moment) - be careful with Monacos, it's a minefield out there!

Just awaiting arrival of this early Siffert Autavia.

that's a bit better condition than mine - bought this one for £50 with no strap etc many moons ago when looking for an Omega Speedmaster. It's my daily watch and i love it's "patina"....what a great word.

Hi Sean,

Nice to know you have a 59A like mine. I looked at you flicker photos but seem to see a lot vans? I am missing something put it down to being old if I have.
Hope you enjoy your car, you bought it I reckon from the right place!
