Significant Porsche Prototype Production car

[Jim Garfield]

This is the 912 prototype that Brumos owns (13394?), not a very good picture, but I was mesmerized by the beautiful license plate holder.

Interestingly enough,a week ago I received the latest Automobile Quarterly with a 6 page feature on 13327 Barbarossa.
Don has an interesting story to tell - perhaps a sweet talker on this august board can get him to do a show and tell to be a sticky on the forum site !!
The AQ story was a dissapointment as only 4 exterior pics were shown and the wheels were air brushed.
There were many interior detail differences between all the prototypes and the production cars and the article would have been much more enhanced to show these.
NOT up to AQ's usual very high standard.

Cheers,
Dennis.
