KFo Posted November 4, 2021 Share #2 Posted November 4, 2021 Nice images. Did Cisistalia pre date 5 MPH impact bumpers by 27 years? 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Z. Goriup Posted November 5, 2021 Share #3 Posted November 5, 2021 Apropos bumpers...........forgive the intrusion into your thread, Stuart, but your post brought back memories of when I decided to disassemble 'Ruprecht' down to the last nut & bolt and restore and change it into something not quite original '70 911. I recall seeing the aluminum bumper 'rub strips' on this very car during a visit to MoMa, and subsequently spent a lot of time ( and $$$) finding and making my own aluminum bumper strips to mimic the Cisitalia. Found out during the restoration that they were also used on Porsche Speedsters 10 years after Cisitalia, but that those were no longer available, and would have required a great deal of modifying and fitting anyway. Finding the correct profile extruded aluminum material and then fabricating the round ends & fitting it all to the 911 bumpers was simply nightmarish - but I just had to be different from everyone else.
