Look at the magnificient vintage pictures taken in summer/fall 1969 during a visit of the factory. Lots of brand new 911s waiting for shipping, and also Number one before restoration (it had been bought in Switzerland in bad shape). Enjoy these unique pictures (found on the cool early 911/912 US forum (www.early911sregistry.org).

Vor fast genau 10 Jahren fuhren Urs Bigger, Ralph Zumbühl und ich an das Porsche Treffen in Interlaken, um erstmals für den Urelfer Club Schweiz zu werben. Es wurden viele Karten verteilt, und daraus ist eine Bewegung geworden mit über 160 Fahrzeugen. Interessant: das damalige Logo ist unverändert, und ewig schön!

Marco Pelucca, the aircooled Porsche expert in Southern Switzerland, just provided me with few pictures of this fantastic 1973 911 S 2.4 Sportomatic Coupé. He traded the car decades ago, and he recalls that the car was fully optioned, full leather interior in beige, with original sport seats, chrome option, muffler skirt, sunroof, metallic green paint, and as said the Sportomatic transmission. How beautiful! I wonder where the car could be today. It has never been seen again, and Marco lost its traces.

Anbei einige Bilder aus guten, alten Zeiten, aus dem Fundus meines Freundes Marco Pelucca, der Experte für luftgekühlten Porsche im Tessin.

Bilder aus einer anderen Epoche. Es lief das Jahr 1972, und ein Amerikaner holte seinen silbrigen targa ab. Er dokumentierte seinen Besuch in Stuttgart in einer Art und Weise, die heute als fast einmalig gilt.

Chers amis de l’écurie Lyford! I hope that you do not mind it I just use the most recent “Heaven in Tuscany” picture here, in order to introduce your fantastic website and work through our club.  The people behind Lyford have created the nicest early Porsche 911 site worldwide, even nicer than that of our Urelfer Club Schweiz :)).  Take an hour of your time and surf on www.ecurielyford.com (also in our LINKS).
