No Curt. Great find. Thx.
KO.
Fantastic photos on that site. VE tells a funny story about the events before and after that picture of him sitting on the ground with the wine bottle at the TF.
When the car broke he was very well wined and dined by the spectators, and had to wait until the end of the race to hitch a ride back to the hotel. He arrived well fed, with a good buzz, and carrying the part on the 908/3 that had broken (I don't remember what it was). The team was having dinner together at the hotel, when he entered and held up the part Piech asked him if that was what broke, or what was left of the car. :D
In my McQueen/ Le Mans collection I have many contact sheets from shootings during the filming. I've found this one: could it be the ex Milou 911S just sold in Ladenburg? Maybe Thomas has some infos about the original registration plate?
Just came across this..../ Lars...
One of my Prized possessions. 1971 Can-Am Race @ Laguna Seca, driving the STP 917 Spyder.
Unfortunately it isn't the one I owned. This is one of several Porsche 911 lent to Solar production by the factory for the movie. They were taken back by the factory in September before the shooting of the movie was over. The one I had was delivered in April 1971, so several months after the movie was made.
Pictures I took at a Private Test @ Watkins Glen (my Godfather was Competition Director)

Carr great photos, must be 1970? I was at the F1 race with my dad that year, the last time they used the old pit configuration - just before the uphill esses - shown in your photos.
