last I HEARD THEY'RE ASKING $125,000 FOR THAT CAR--STANDARD S WITH NON ORIGINAL FLARES AND A PAINT JOB.......MY OH MY!IT NEVER WAS PETER GREGG'S PERSONAL CAR,JUST SALES HYPE FOR BROMOS BACK THEN
Looks a bit odd to me with big flares in the back and no flares up front.
They don't quite relate to each other.
BTW - always good to post photos to a thread along with link... for the archives. Links go away when cars are sold.

The following is from the June 1973 PORSCHE PANORAMA article entitled: An Interview with Peter Gregg:
Panorama: What is your personal Porsche like?
Gregg: My personal car is a 911S Sportomatic Coupe. I think Sportomatic is the neatest transmission ever devised. I like a soft ride with good handling, so I have standard torsion bars, but 19mm stabilizers instead of 15mm. I have enlarged fenders which allow Pirelli 215/60 tires on 8" rims at the front and 9" rims at the rear. My engine is standard, but carefully tuned, it pushes my car to 145 mph even with the enlarged fenders. Recently, I fitted the rear spoiler of the Carrera and Cibie iode headlamps. The rear spoiler aids top speed slightly. I normally drive a 911S for 6,000 miles before we sell it.
Alas, no VIN# in the article, no pic of the car...

Must be a different car. The one in the Ad has a 5 speed??? Anyway, the ad doesn't say anything about whether this is all original, repainted, rebuilt, or whatever????
Jared, I think you should consider the Brumos striping for your silver 73 .... I like it!
I think that Sporto was Tangerine(?). I seem to recall seeing pictures of it somewhere.

My point for the quote..."6,000 miles before we sell it"...who knows how many "personal" cars Peter Gregg drove in any particular year? Certainly not me...

I'm no wheel expert, but I have some 6, 7 and 8 inch Fuchs laying around here and the fronts on the silver car don't look like 8's to me. Like Paul says, he must have claimed to "own" several cars. It doesn't appear that his narrative was about this one.
