    Mystery Car from the Museum c.2003

    My Aunt took this photo about 14 years ago. . . does anyone know the story of this car?

    Dark Metallic Green? Clearly tan PEPITA seats. Are those 14s?

    I don't have more details unfortunately, but to be in the museum this clearly had to be special.

    Its color indicate it be might Ex-Porsche family owned 2.2l 911 car. There is a thread on Porsche family cars and I think its there.
    The 356 next to it is probably black on light beige, a color combo the Porsche/Piech family used usually for their 356 and VW Beetle.

    Looks to be Dorothea Porsche's '72 E Sporto? Note the dual outside/rear-views + tan w/pepita --- + 'DP' plate in your photo ('S' = 'Stuttgart')

    Don't think so, Bryce . . .

    ("If you are the wife of a Ferry Porsche, you do not drive a foreign vehicle, of course. Dorothea Porsche, born Reitz (1911-1985), was in this 911 with 165 hp from 1972 onwards. She preferred the semi-automatic Sportomatic transmission.")
