Long shot - Rolf Sprenger contact info?

[msmall215]

This may be a long shot, but would anyone happen to have current contact info (even just email) for Rolf Sprenger? A good friend of mine just acquired a '79 ROW SC and upon closer inspection of the motor, it has turned out to be one of the scarce 3.1 factory modified motors. Verified numbers matching, turbo cylinders, fuel distributor, larger oil cooler, the whole nine yards. There's very little information out there on these cars as they were never quite "official" but rather word of mouth. Production estimates range from 50-200, with very few documented cars remaining (apparently somewhere between 2 and 4 left here in the US). He doesn't have any of the original documentation but is keen to get in contact with Mr. Sprenger as he headed up the program, and see what else he can dig up about production and development.

Anyone with either info or contact, please send me a PM if you feel comfortable. Mods, please feel free to move to another section if this isn't appropriate for this section...was hoping to get more traffic in hopes of helping him out.

Thanks!

I hope you successfully contacted him last year.

A friend was writing his memories of Rolf Sprenger today. He informed me that Rolf died last week at the age of 77. Rolf visited us in 2008 when he bought a 356 for a close friend and in 2012 we saw him again in Zell am See at the Schüttgut.

Rolf was a former executive of Werks eins and stayed w the Porsche family acquiring cars for their own collection. He also was involved w some Porsche publications.
