New Member - France - 912 Targa & 356C Coupé
Posted: Fri Jun 14, 2019 11:12 am
Hello,
a new member from France, living in the vicinity of Versailles.
A retired executive of the Mobil Oil Group - International Division – Europe region.
During my long career with Mobil I had the opportunity to work in England, first in 1977-1978 in Central London-W11 and then in 1991-1992 in West Sussex at Copthorne close to Crawley. With Mobil I worked in the Accounting, Audit, Finance & Computer systems fields. I’m sure that The Mobil Pegasus emblem is familiar in this forum. A former member of the Campden Hill Lawn Tennis club in Kensington & Chelsea London Borough. My pseudo BLD is just an acronym made with my initials. 19 stands for the last two digits of 2019, my year of registration , and A to itemize within 2019. I have three daughters , one of them living in Central London close to Belsize Park. Incidentally I am the grand-father of two lovely french-english little girls as they were born in London
A Porsche fan since 1967, with a 912 coupé as a daily driver in 1976-1977, a 912 Targa since 2011 imported from the USA and a 356C coupé since 2015. Both cars were exported new from Germany to California. I am - thanks to Max Levell - one of the french correspondants of the US 912 registry magazine, registered with The Samba US forum, a member of the french Club911.net forum & a member of the french Karmann-Ghia forum as I am restoring a 1961 coupé. I also have a californian convertible Super beetle which I bought in Chichester in 1992. Hence a flat-four air-cooled engine fan. In France as you may know we have the 2 cv Citroën & the Panhard-Levassor as air-cooled engine cars.
With your german name using the Google search engine, I would never had guessed that it was an UK Classic Porsche forum. But thanks to one of your former member advertising at present on E-Bay for a 912 165-15 tire sale I am now registering.
I am joining at present mainly to search for Porsche classic spare parts in UK, and my first post will be a list of the parts I am looking for, some specific to RHD. I have also in the pipeline a post “ My Porsche story” starting in 1967.
I am pleased to join this british classic Porsche fan club.
