A solid sterling silver 997 1/43rd Model given to certain employees
I was looking for one of those color guide books ( I have most of 1 ) but I did not find another one
Did get to visit the archives, I wanted to take home the pink-pig model used for the wind tunnel, most amazing was the umbrella that turns into a chair
and several autographed Ferry Porsche thank you cards.
I would like To get together with you euro types and talk early literature

Anyone selling a complete color/order guide let me know
Hi Guys,
here is something that you have probably never seen before.
It's a cast of the Teloche town sign on the way into the village from Mulsanne. It has probably been replaced with something newer now but this one dates from '70/71.
Some of the team crew "borrowed" the original one night and made a mould to cast a couple in aluminium back in Weissach.
That's where I work and I have had my eyes on this, hidden behind a recently retired colleaque's desk, for a while.
I aquired it, finished it (it was a rough casting) and it is now proudly hanging on my garage wall proving to be a complete mystery to most people who see it.
Tony.
It occurred to me that some members might not realise the significance of the village of Teloche in Porsche folklore. The Porsche works team for LeMans used a rented garage in Teloche as their base during the 24 Hours from the mid '50s up untill the end of Group B in the late '80s. The race cars were traditionally allways driven the few miles to the circuit by the mechanics on public roads.
Thats a very cool sign, and a great background story!!
If you made copies I think they would sell :cool:
Agreed, really cool sign with a great story! Most definitely if you make copies put me in line.:)
Hi Andrea,
Couldn't make it to Ladenburg this weekend as I was just returning from the States where Christie's had its own auction sales.
I did manage to go to the Hershey meet though which was great, and back in New York we did sell the Picasso for a record price ($106 m.!):

Some of that money [for the Picasso] should go to John Richardson.
He really sold that series, or should I say presented it as the miracle of creativity that it was.
How right you are!
We did hire him to write the catalogue entry for the painting, because indeed Richardson not only contributed greatly to the notoriety of the Marie-Therese series but frankly to Picasso's huge popularity!
Now in the Porsche field, it would be great if someone could write a reference book on Porsche automobilia:
