Rona!d Posted June 7, 2012 Share #3544 Posted June 7, 2012 Yes, Lenn (ksmart) mentioned Veritas first, think he might have seen the car at the prototype museum which bought the car from Autosalon Singen. As he is running short of pics I´m sure he is happy that Stu jumped in with a car my dad should have bought a long time ago. He didn´t, damn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn´t, damn Indeed, Ronald, as one of those just sold at auction for $3,700,000. In the mid sixties, a friend's father went to Germany and bought a used Mercedes 280 SE Coupe, while he could have had a 300 SL Roadster for just a little more money.

John, what a frightening auction result that was. I know some guys who still race them (which is good!). Indeed the SLs were "in reach" in the mid and especially end sixties for people with some "play money". Not many wanted them, how much more comfortable was a 280 SE Coupe? We had a 250SE convertible in the family garage, what a lovely car that was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona!d Posted June 9, 2012 Share #3552 Posted June 9, 2012 That car has two possible model numbers. A) Think about a model number which is nearly eaqual to that car's weight. or Take the engines volume and dig out your RS but put it in the end Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted June 10, 2012 Share #3555 Posted June 10, 2012 Andreas has it - Over to you. The 550 Spyder was Porsche's first pure race car, offered to privateers to race (no factory racers). They built this model beginning in late 1954 and throughout 1955, eventually completing between 70 and 80 of them. Its flat six had DOHC for each bank of cylinders. The car was quite light and quickly beat evrything in its class, and due to its reliabil;ity and handling, it often beat cars with much larger engines. For 1956 the improved 550A was released, and then later in that decade the RSKs John references above. the 550 Spyder is the car which James Dean rode to his death. The car seen below belongs to a North Carolinian who lent it to Porsche for an 8-city tour promoting the 2013 Boxster. Along woth the 550 they displayed the Boxster and a Carrera GT. I only bothered to photograph the 550, and will post several photos before long in its own thread. Welcome, dear visitor!

Rona!d Posted June 10, 2012 Share #3556 Posted June 10, 2012 This is the ultimate thing for an aircooled boxer fan Because of the prices I´d also be fine with a custom made fibre glass copy. It´s all about driving, not collecting or ownership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.j.z Posted June 10, 2012 Share #3557 Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) Thanks Stuart! I look forward to further photos of the 550. The new Boxster looks quit nice to me but as with a lot of new cars the burden of history is not easy to overcome (even more so for the Mercedes SL, where I just saw an add showing the new SL beside its far more beautiful ancestor and I thought that this was not really a good idea from the marketing guys). And now for something completely different ... Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!
