    Stunning !!! You've set a new Standard for the Porsche marque.

    Congratulations on a towering achievement.

    All the Best,

    A brief post to bring this thread up to date:

    Just got back from a fantastic 1500 mile round trip through the Netherlands into Germany & down to Stuttgart/Zuffenhausen in the company of ~25 other early Porsches (DDK members).

    This was essentially a 'shake-down' trip for the car as I'd only covered ~ 200 miles prior to leaving & hadn't managed anything more than 75 miles in one go.

    The car ran great apart from some minor 'hiccups' (including losing all gears on the autobahn when a grubscrew locating a UJ on the gearshift rod by the gearbox vibrated loose & dropped out), the main problem being heat transfer to the cockpit when stuck at traffic lights or travelling very slowly (but the ambient temperatures were very hot !).

    The car was a blast to drive though & created a great deal of interest wherever we went - aided no doubt by the wonderful noise it emits (I changed the 'street exhaust' over to megaphones the day before the trip) ...

    Unfortunately I didn't take any photos but here are a few of the car taken by others on the trip:
