1976 Photo Competition
2nd prize. The winner of second place goes to Lanny Allbaugh, Bellingham, Washington for his photo
"356's Racing at Seattle International Raceway". To Lanny goes an uncirculated original edition of
PORSCHE, THE FIRST DECADE, by Walter Spielberger.
There were 56 entries in the first of what we hope
will be an annual event, the 356 REGISTRY Photo
Competition. The requirements were purposely left
obscure and a little loose for very good reason: we
wanted to minimize inhibitions and get some
imaginative pictures. There was nothing particularly
objective about our judging--it really was whatever
grabbed us! There is a well-worn cliche that is
appropriate: "A picture is worth a thousand words".
The following are the equivalent to 3000 words! It
wasn't at all easy to judge ...there were some
outstanding entries as you will see from the
honorable mentions that will appear from time to
time in succeeding issues. We hope you like our
choices!

memo from
'keyser'
EDITOR
Many of you know that I've been seriously looking
for a Roadster for quite awhile ...after a full year and
5000+ miles, I'm pleased to report the acquisition
of D'leteren # 89470! The car is essentially all
original (except the engine and discs) and rust free:
just what I've been looking for. It is far from perfect
and thus it should give me many happy hours over
the next year or two putting it back into original
condition.
By the time you read this, our incorporation as a
non-profit Ohio corporation should be complete.
Bud West, attorney, Batavia, Ohio, has been so kind
to take time out from his busy practice and handle
all the legal details ...a very appreciative thanks to
Bud! Another good reason to attend the Holiday in
Cincinnati, Labor Day Weekend, is to attend the
first true business meeting of 356 REGISTRY, Inc.
All members are welcome so come and get your two
cents worth in!
Incidentally, now that we have a formal structure,
there is a procedure for perpetuation of the
organization. However, just because we now have a
legal form, it doesn't necessarily follow that the
REGISTRY will become more structured. The
sentiment gleaned from the renewal questionnaire
and from your letters is definitely against a
structured, formalized club. The concensus is to
remain a low-key, informational organization
operating to disseminate information through our
official publication, as we have for the last two
years.
Speaking of the 2nd Holiday ...does your wife or girl
friend (or husbandlboyfriend) give you those tired
looks when you talk about your 356? Does she
yawn? No sympathy for your problems? Do you ever
feel like you are going to burst in your exhuberance
for your car but no one to talk to? If you can answer
yes to one or more of above, then the 2nd 356
Holiday is definitely for you! If 2 days of pure,
unadulterated 356 conversation, sights and experiences with friendly people with a strong mutual
hobby (or obsession) is your cup of tea, send in
your application now to Tom Oerther. (Please find
complete details and a reservation form elsewhere
in this issue.) In order to help Tom finalize
guarantees, etc., and to make sure you're not
disappointed regarding your accomodations, please
mail your reservation by return mail.
This year our expanded program includes a special
event for just the ladies and Bob and Ginny
Gummow will be narrating a slide presentation of
their recent German trip, highlighted by the 356
Euroclub's spring meet.
We have been guaranteed by the Cincinnati weather
bureau that there will be zero chance of rain for that
weekend, (Now that Bud West re-opened the drain
holes in his Speedster) sunny skies and highs in the
mid-seventies!
Tami and I are looking forward to seeing all of
you ...l am particularly anxious to meet some more
of the 'names' that I see in correspondence and
mailing labels! We'll see you there!

Historic plates ... "The last issue of the 356
REGISTRY had two articles on historic license
plates for 356 series cars. There was a brief notice
by me warning that cars in this category would be
very easy to single out for special taxation
purposes. The May 1976 issue of THE CABLE
NEWSLETTER, which informs subscribers of
important legislative matters affecting owners of
antique, classic and special interest cars, has an
important article about Missouri. This state has

special "historical vehicle" license plates which are
sold for a single $10. charge. However, this year
historic vehicles are now listed on the personal tax
assessment form. At the present time Missouri
values vehicles older than 10 years at only $50., but
this valuation could easily be changed in the future.
If your state offers historic plates for 356's, you may
be heading for an annual personal property tax if
you buy historic plates for it." Jim Perrin,
REGISTRY Historian, Columbus, OH
"As the number of Porsches in Australia is small we
still flash lights at each other, stop and talk like you
used to do in the U.S. in the early days. The few
Porsche dealers (6 in the whole of Australia) cater

entirely of 911 Porsches even though there are a
majority of 356's--around 900 of the 1500 total."

show cars?

involving PCA, SCCA, and local clubs. Matter of
fact, my receipt of the POC Trouble Shooting Guide
(which I very much appreciate) reminded me of the
reason I did not join POC some years ago--another
idiotic conflict between POC and the fledgling LA
Region of PCA, of which I was a Charter Member. I
was involved in the same hassle between the old Cal
Club and SCCA, before the Cal Club magically
became the LA Region of SCCA; later, participated
with interest in scraps between the Longhorn and
Maverick Regions of PCA, the Lone Star Region of
SCCA, and the Texas Spokes Sports Car Club; and
then, was involved in some growing pains within the
Warbonnet Region of PCA.
I would suspect that most of us are also members of
PCA. I would think that many, like myself, joined
the REGISTRY as an adjunct, rather than as a
splinter group. The present set-up looks good; the
REGISTRY caters t o a specialist group--356 Nuts. It
would appear that our organizers are on the right
tack--hang in there. To cite yet another letter; rather
than say, "don't burn out, let us remember not t o
blow it--by aspiring t o become too big." Bill
Barnard, Kolsas, Norway
And aview from the other side ..." In England, PCGB
has successfully withstood the pressure of the
difference of interests between 356 & 911 owners.
Both groups meet socially and enjoy each other's
problems and respect each other's cars. A small
group within race their cars.
The 356 movement in Europe and England has
gathered great momentum recently. I have contact
with 356 clubs in Belgium, France and Switzerland.
One of the purposes of this letter is t o gently and
-
politely disillusion all of you over there who thipk
that in England and Europe 356s are available in 98
point condition for a song--it just aint so any more,
although this was true 2-3 years ago. Moreover,
most European cars are rusty because of the
omnipresent salt. Most Speedsters, Roadsters and
virtually all of the exotic Porsche racers went t o the
U.S. originally. There are 6 Speedsters and 6
Roadsters in England, t o give you an example.
The days of cheap parts are over as well, most
European dealers being cleaned out by Brad Ripley
or by national 356 clubs. This is not t o say that nice
cars are not available here--they are, but their
owners know what they have and charge
accordingly. As far as I can tell, by the time
trans-atlantic shipping charges are paid, plus
insurance, it is just as cheap and much easier t o buy
a California or Texas car and be done with it.
Getting back t o parts--by l o o k ~ n g through the
REGISTRY, you are all far better off for parts than
we are. Floor pans, longitudinal members,
Speedster seats, bee hive lights, etc., are just not
available here, either new, used or replica form.
Probably the best feature of Porsche life in the U.K.
is the racing. Opposed t o all the c--p the SCCA
makes you go through t o get on the track, here all
you need is a novice license, helmet, oil catch tank
and a car in good shape. No roll bars, Nomex, fuel
cells, blueprint engines, magnaflux certificates,
driver's schools. I race my 1960 Roadster in Historic
Sport Car Club Events (cars from 1945-60 are
eligible) and get 10-12 races per year at places like
LeMans, Nurburgring, Brands Hatch and Siverstone---all nice, low key events with lots of 1950-60

One of the most common questions I get
concerns the interior of our beloved cars. At some
point in time it becomes necessary to tear out the
old carpets along with their associated fungus, dry
rot, mushrooms, creepy-crawlers, or whatever else
may have taken habitation therein. Randy MacKenzie, a neighbor of mine here in Warren, owns a 1962
B coupe and restored the interior himself. I have
seen it, and it is truly beautiful. He obtained a very
close match carpet kit from Auto Mat Co., Inc., 223
Park Ave., Hicksville, NY 11802, for less than $100. 1
know some of us have to have the original German
carpet, and prefer to cut and bind it ourselves, but
I'm lazy. So, when someone comes up with a kit that
looks close to original, isn't outrageously priced,
that's the route I like to follow.
Randy re-covered his seats with ready-made
pieces from the Recovery Room, 181 Old Country
Road, Hicksville, NY 11801. He also got an extra
piece of material 54" x 36" for the dash. Total bill
was less than $90.
Randy used a vinyl spray on the rest of the
faded but sound interior. The name of it is Talbots
Mar-Hyde, made by Talbots Corp., address
unknown. He used four cans at $3.03 per can. If he
had to do it again, he says he would match the
upholstery material to the spray, rather than try to
find the exact spray color.
Randy had no previous experience in any of the
above endeavors, and yet for around a $200
investment, he has a "new" interior.

Back in Vol. 1, No. 2 of the 356 REGISTRY
(Dec. 74), 1 took on the job of technical editor and
introduced myself. Since we have a few more
members now, and no one has that issue, I would
like to repeat what I said then, with appropriate
updating. I am 31 years old, married, two children,
fifteen 356 Porsches (subject to change week-toweek), live in Warren, Michigan, just outside of
Detroit. I've had a Porsche of one type or another
since March 6, 1963; 1 remember that date better
than my wedding date. I've been racing a 1956
Speedster since 1965, and now own the 1974 SCCA
National E Production champion 1960 Roadster
previously driven by Bill Schmid of Connecticut. I
recently quit my job as a mechanical engineer and
an now self-employed in the field of 356 service,
restoration, race preparation, etc. I have rebuilt
every mechanical item on a 356 series Porsche, with
the exception of the Ccam Carrera engine. I have
also branched out into sheet metal work and rust
repair, top and bottom. I have my own torches, so
am a firm believer in welding new metal in place. I
am a member of Porsche Club of America and have
hassled their technical editor a couple of times, as
well as having written letters to the editor
complaining about one insignificant error or another
regarding 356's. So here I am, in the target seat
myself. Rest assured that I will do my best, and any
errors will be purely unintentional and eventually
acknowledged and corrected if brought to my
attention. I will try to answer questions; just send a
stamped envelope for a reply. The more general or
pertinent questions will be published. I also
welcome any hints or tips from readers; due credit
will be given, so speak up and see your name in
print. Thank you.

reviews
by Rick Foster
When the Porsche factory was building the 356
series Porsche, they turned out some mighty fine
cars. But they didn't make the best Porsches ever.
No, to find the nicest Porsches ever made (should I
say remade?) you'd better attend a 356 Registry or
Porsche Club of Amerlca Concours dlElegance. I
went to my first PCA concours this past weekend,
and I was truly impressed. There were only three
356's entered, two speedsters and old friend John
Kummell's convertible D. John's D and Lee Raskin's
speedster were absolutely beautiful, and the judges
were in a tizzy trying to decide first place between
them. Imagine, two cars with beautiful paint,
perfect interiors, flawless chrome, spotless
engines, and floorpans you can see your reflection
in! Well, you'd have a hard time deciding too. As
time went on however, it evolved that the speedster
doorlocks didn't work (as if that would keep a thief
out anyway) and its side curtains weren't original.
On the other hand, John's paint had some touchup
spots and a judge found two spiders on a ~ u s h r o d
tube. Well, when it was all over, the speedster won
and John had to settle for second. But in my book,
both cars were perfect and both owners should be
justifiably proud of their work. They have built the
best Porsches ever.
All this concours business left my 3568 looking
a little long in the tooth so I got out the sponge and
wax and chrome polish and when I finished it looked
like a long-in-the-tooth 3568 with a lot of paste on
it! My conclusion is that true concours preparation
takes somewhat longer than the three hours that I
gave it that afternoon.
Brooklands Books has a whole series of road
test and technical report compilations on various
classic cars. Included in this series are Porsche
Cars 1952-1956 and Porsche Cars 1957-1960. Both
books were compiled by R.M. Clarke and they are
available from our mainstay supplier, Classic
Motorbooks, 3106 West Lake Street, Minneapolis,
Minnesota, 55416. They sell for $4.95 each. I have
the one dealing with the later cars, so while my
remarks will be in reference to it, the book on the
earlier cars is undoubtedly similar in concept and
execution.
The compiled articles come from various
magazines including the top British periodicals
Autocar and Motor Racing. The authors include
such well known names as Hans Tanner, OCee
Ritch, and Jesse Alexander. The more esoteric
models such as the Carrera speedster and the RSK
receive most of the attention, but there are many
tests of the more common Normal and Super
editions. In addition to the usual road tests, there
are articles on engine design and performance
tuning, and even a race report or two. All the
features are quite interesting, although by the
seventh Carrera article I was beginning to wonder
whether I had the production figures for Carrera
versus single-cam models reversed! All in all there
is a great deal of good information here. The picture
quality is rather poor, unfortunately, but it's made
up for by the multitude of diverse opinions given by
the different magazines and authors. Well worth the
five bucks for either volume.
This next review will have to be undertaken with
a certain amount of caution. Nobody minds if I
review books, but what about another magazine? A
fairly new magazine called Volkswagen Greats has
run a series of articles on 356 Porsches. From the
mag's title it's obvious that these guys are
primarally interested in VW's, but somewhere on the
staff must lurk a hard-core bunch of Porsche fans.
At any rate, the 356 articles were quite well done
and they're worthy of our attention. Editor Jay
Amestoy was kind enough to send me copies of the
issues containing Porsche articles and he informed
me that their stock of back issues should be
sufficient to meet the needs of a sizable portion of
our club. The particular issues are as follows:
August 1975, October 1975, December 1975, and
August 1976. The back issues can be obtained from
Volkswagen Greats, P.O. Box 49659, Los Angeles,
California, 90049 for $1.25 each. Be sure and tell
them that you're a 356 REGISTRY member. Perhaps
a quick listing of the Porsche articles in each issue
would help sort out what's available.
August 1975: "Porsche, A Remembrance" - part 1 of
a four part series, this one deals with the original
356 models and includes many very nice photos.

Six pages of 356A history by Wally Wyss, again
with exceptional photos. Also, "The Carrera Story,
Part 1" similar to the other series but covering the
Carrera models up to the 2000.
December 1975: "Remembrance Part 3", "The
Beutler Porsche", (all right you historians,
remember that one?), "The Oldest, Porsche in
America", and "The Semi-Speedster". Part 3 of the
Remembrance series naturally covers the 3568
models including a disparaging comment that the
B's aren't appreciating as fast as all the others,
which is probably true, daggonit. The Semi-Speedster turns out to be a wildly modified convertible D.
I expect that most club members are more
appreciative of originality that "customizing", but
there's enough of the hot-rodder left in me that I
really got a kick out of this car. It was lowered,
flared, souped up, and even had a speedster
windshield, and it looked mean. In addition to
these, there were a number of other Porsche articles
dealing with later models.
August 1976: "Remembrance Part 4" on the 356C
model, "Porsche 550 Spyder" which I'll include
because they were such nice cars, and "Porsche
Show-offs" dealing with the Santa Anita PCA
concours, emphasizing some very nice 356's. (There
was an intriguing picture of a speedster with 911
type mag wheels. Does that necessarily imply that
the car has been converted to disc brakes?)
Altogether, the articles are enjoyable and
informative. It's my understanding that there have
been a number of other 356 features in other issues.
(Like maybe the missing Carrera Part 2 story?) Keep
an eye out at the newstand in the future, as there
will probably be more. Incidentally, the VW part of
the magazine is fairly interesting too, especially the
technical articles since many of the techniques can
be used on our own thunderwagons. The magazine
is written by a true bunch of enthusiasts and their
spirit is contagious. We'll forgive them the fact that
they're VW enthusiasts, because they do such a
nice job on the Porsche articles!
That's about it for this time. Keep the cards and
letters coming and thanks to all you concours
entrants for showing us True Beauty.
history
The Porsche Abarth Carrera GTL
JIM PERRIN, Historian
In the late 19501s, Porsche had established
itselt in international competition. The Spyders had
won numerous international victories. The Porsche
factory decided to race a car that the general public
could identify with the production cars. In 1959 they
raced 1600cc GT Carrera coupes which had the
identical body lines as the production cars.
However, the FIA regulations for GT chassis
allowed a slightly lighter car to be run.
The factory therefore decided to have Carlos
Abarth build an appropriate car for the 1960 season.
Approximately twenty chassis were sent to Abarth.
The small number built is the reason these cars are
so rare. (For comparison, over 100 904's were built.)
The instructions were to build a lighter body, but
equally important, to build a lower body to decrease
the frontal area of the car. That they achieved this is
easily seen by the fact that the 1600cc Abarth
coupes clocked 137 mph at Le Mans in their second
outing in 1960, an excellent speed at the time. They
were later clocked at slightly over 140 mph at Le
Mans.

plexiglas except the front windshield. There are the
usual three main dash instruments. However, the
tach is the large Spyder type, has a tell-tale needle,
is centrally located, and goes to 10,000 RPM. Some
of the factory cars were equipped with an oil
pressure gauge on the floor. A number of cars had
roll up windows. However, there was at least one
car with leather straps to raise and lower the
windows, as the SC GT coupes had. The two seats
are similar to the Speedster seats, except that they
have higher sides for better lateral support. They
were covered with black vinyl on the sides with gray
corduroy center panels. Sitting in the seats, you get
the impression of the lowness of the car, as there is
very little head room and a sharply angled
windshield. There is no real glove box, just a small
open compartment in front of the passenger. There
is no provision for such unnecessary items as a
radio, ash tray, or cigarette lighter. This is clearly a
car that was built for driving!
of the type 587 2-liter engine, the factory refitted
some of the Abarths with this larger, more powerful
engine.
The type 587 engine (in three
versions) is the engine used in the Carrera 2 series
and the 904 series. Also, some of the cars were
refitted with the early disc brakes used on the early
cars of the Carrera 2 series.'
The last issue of the REGISTRY had a brief article
on the four 356 series Porsches in the factory
museum. The photographs showed three of the
four; the one not shown was the 356B Abarth
Carrera. The Abarth series has been previously
described in the June 1971 Porsche PANORAMA.
The following photographs were not a part of the
Pano article.
The body of the Abarth Carrera is very
attractive, with its low lines and smooth appearance. The door handles are flush and there are
almost no protrusions. There are even small fairings
in front of the wiper posts to keep the air flow
smooth. The windows are almost flush with the
body.
My own Abarth, No. 1017, is one of the last
cars built. It has smaller rear quarter windows with
much more rounded corners than the earlier cars.
This apparently was an attempt to reduce fatigue
crack formation which is a problem with these
bodies. The front of the Abarth has three openings,
a large one for the front mounted oil cooler and a
small one on each side for the brakes. Some of the
bodies also had a pair of faired-in driving lights. The
back of the car is dominated by a large rear deck lid
with an adjustable air scoop and usually 48 louvers.
Stock Porsche tail lights, turned on end and slightly
recessed into the body are used. A small stock
reflector is located below each light. The license
plate light is illuminated by either a pair of small
Hella lights or the stock 356A license plate light
assembly. No provisions are made for front or rear
bumpers. Each front fender has an "Abarth" nameplate, below which is a "Turin, Italy" nameplate.
Beside these name plates is a small Abarth crest.
The front hood has a stock Porsche nameplate on it.
The cars were equipped with a 1600cc 69213 or
69213A Carrera engine, 60 mm wide front drum
brakes (derived from the Spyders), a S-90 type
camber compensator, Koni shock absorbers, and
4-% x 15 alloylsteel wheels. After the introduction
This Abarth is now in the factory museum. It carries
serial number 1018, and is therefore one of the last
produced. It is painted silver and probably has been
owned and raced by the factory since it was new.
The nose of this car was fitted with two driving
lights, presumably for better vision during night
racing.

restoration
BRETT JOHNSON, Editor
Body rust, although the same phenomenon as
underbody rust, must be approached in a slightly
different manner. The obvious reason being that
more people are likely to notice the top of the car
and the underbody technique of covering up repairs
with undercoat is not generally applicable.
With rust repair on upper body surfaces,
warping of the metal due t o heat is an important
consideration. To avoid warping, brazing is
recommended as it is a cooler process. Brazing is
not as strong as welding but most body surfaces are
not highly stressed so it is sufficient. If in doubt
consult a good body man or welder.
To minimize warpage several techniques are
used. Most can be explored in greater detail in a
welding textbook but I will discuss a relatively
simple and highly successful method.
First remove the rust and some of the
surrounding solid metal. The resultant hole will
allow you t o protect the back of the remaining metal
by spraying some anti-rust primer on it before
patching. A cardboard template can then be made.
When cutting the actual metal patch it should be
made 1/16 - 1/8" smaller than the hole t o be filled.
This piece should be clamped into place and tacked
with welds 1-2 inches apart. Then using welding or
brazing rod t o fill the gaps join the metal between
the tacks. To reduce warping it is advisable t o work
to opposite corners thus not overheating any
particular spot. The surrounding gap allows a
screwdriver t o be inserted for lining up the metal
before welding. While welding warping will occur,
but use of hammer and dolly should be employed t o
keep the patch and surrounding metal as flat as
possible. When finished the welds may be ground
with a grinder or sander and the result should be
slightly below the normal contours of the bodywork.
.
The spots usually needing attention are those
in front and behind the doors. If the rust in front of
the doors is extensive, the repair is not nearly as
simple. The main complication of this type of repair
is trying t o maintain the original appearance of the
fender edge at the door. Large sloopy welds or
blobs of bondo were not what the men in
Zuffenhausen envisaged. If the fender edge remains
it is possible t o patch just the hole. However,
typically the fender edge is damaged and in this
situation it is necessary t o rebuild it if you are trying
t o achieve original appearance. Here you need a
skilled metal worker or a replacement panel (a
factory fender is no good as it does not contain the
finished edge.). Because the area is curved the
rolled edge is not a simple task but conceivably you
could do it yourself if money is of prime concern.
With all patching done, body work at a simpler
level emerges unless of course you think it must be
done in lead. I encourage you t o talk t o body men
and professional restorers and get their opinions. I
think you'll find that most if not all will tell you that
though there are places where lead is necessary, the
overwhelming amount of work may be and indeed
should be done with plastic.
Plastic is easy t o apply and easy t o work.
Anyone with a little patience and a few inexpensive
tools can do body work at the same level or higher
than the professional shop. Be prepared for a long
haul as body work can be very frustrating, especially
the first time. Lead on the other hand is difficult t o
work. On top of that it is relatively expensive. Aside
from the fact that lead is metal (and offers the
psychological advantage of being what the factory
used to cover welds) it has no true advantage over
plastic.
I welcome your comments and opinions on this

arriving at the Landwehr Motel north of Luneburg
Friday afternoon. Also staying here were the
Swedes, a Liechtensteiner, a Swiss and one of our
hosts, Hubert Schellberg. The rest of the group
were quartered in the Bremer Hof in Luneburg.
At approximately 1800 hours we received a
telephone call that someone was coming t o the
motel to accompany us t o the Bremer Hof to meet
the rest of the group. The courtyard parking area of
the Bremer Hof had all theear-marks of a downtown
Chicago parking lot, juggling all the cars into the
small area, but they got the job done and efficiently.
After an informal get-acquainted session, accompanied by good food and wine, everyone retired for a

our "2nd Annual 356 Holiday" in Cincinnati. We
have requested that just as soon as Euroclub has
definite information available on next year's meet
that it be sent to Jerry so that we will have time to
see if we can't get a group together to attend.
Sunday morning the little beauties gathered on the
Markplatz in front of the Rathaus for viewing and
sad farewells.
A few had left early but the most of us were there.
There was considerable looking again, discussions
of problems and studying restoration pictures (just
like at home). Gradually the goodbyes began and
one by one the cars left the square, headed in all
directions for home. Everyone left in a manner that
took them around 3 sides of the square with waving
and "Auf Wiedersehen" all the way around.
We were staying over in order to have our leased
"Kafer" serviced Monday morning. So, along with
some of our Swedish friends, we decided to retire to
the Ratskeller for lunch and some beer. At this point
a local gentleman approached our little group and
informed us that parking on the Markplatz was not
allowed. We told him we had special permission
and that we would be leaving soon. He left
reluctantly. We left too, for the Ratskeller, where we
were joined a short time later by Rainer Kohstall and
his "Treasure". We told Rainer that the "Burgermeister" (mayor) had come and told us that it was
not allowed to park in the square. We really had him
going and we never did find out if we had official
permission to park there! By the time we left the
Ratskeller the square was full of cars of all kinds -but none got a ticket.
We finally made our goodbyes and are now eagerly
awaiting the next meet. Where else do you find a
Swede and a German conversing in English?
We sincerely thank our Euroclub hosts, Pres. Rainer
Kohstall and Vice-Pres. Hubert Schellberg for all
their efforts in this endeavor and hope that this is
only the beginning of mutual promotion of our 2nd
(?) loves-- the 356's.
From the meet we did some touring, which naturally
included a visit to the Porsche factory. We visited
the Museum and took the usual tour, and in addition
had an opportunity to visit the Repair Works which
is not included in the regular tour. Here they were
working on the racing engines for the up-coming
Nurburgring race. We also saw the last 917 being
built. When the car is completed it will become a
part of the Vasek Polak stables. Almost as a finale
we saw an old 356 being "made new". The car being
Rolph Sprenger and Bob Gummow discussing 356
restoration at factory.
restored by the factory for a German gentleman will
not be original, however. It will have a Carrera
engine and the interior will be a little different. We
were told that when the present stock of 356 parts
and pieces is depleted that will be the end of the
factory restorations. Judging from the stockpile
that time is not far away.
It may interest you to know that the Germans do

asked often about sources of sheet metal parts.
Several people at the meet had Chuck Stoddard's
catalog and were well-acquainted with it.
While in Austria we stayed a couple of days at the
Porschehof Hotel at Zell am See, which is located
on the Porsche farm. The home of Gerd Porsche and
his wife is there, as well as the home of Dr. and Frau
Porsche when they are visiting. Near this home is
the small private chapel where Ferdinand Porsche
lies. Ferdinand Ill's design studio is across the
highway and his home, a small restored castle, is
two villages south in St. Georgan. Dr. Porsche's
sister, Frau Piech, lives in a villa near the lake.
The Porschehof is a pension hotel and has been
open to the public only the last couple of years.
Since most of their clientele stay for a week or so it
can be difficult to get a room for only a day or two-we were lucky. It is a lovely, quiet place and the
food is superb. The service given by the manager
and his wife is surpassed only by the food. If
anyone is travelling in the area and interested in
staying there, we recommend writing for reservations in advance.
Also in Zell am See is Gerd's hotel, the St. Georg. It
was closed for a month at the time we were there
but it is a new, first class hotel and we were told he
