    Mooney Porsche Airplane

    I had the opportunity earlier today to visit one of Rich Lambert's customer's Porsche hangar in the southwest Fort Worth area. The guy owns the following vehicles:
    • 1966 RHD 912- this car was on the Porsche stand at the Johannesburg Auto Show of 1966
    • 1967 911S
    • 1973 914 2.0
    • Hughes helicopter
    • Mooney Porsche plane

    He also owns a 356 Cabriolet that is at his house as his current daily driver. He rotates the cars around for daily duties.

    The gray '68 is my car and the champagne yellow is Lambert's '69 913.

    From a previously running , but now defunkt Mooney airplane website :

    "Despite the small numbers of planes Porsche provided support for the engine in Europe and America. The Aviation Department was managed by Rolf Sprenger".

    In the photos , I'm assuming the white 912 is the 1966 Johannesburg showcar ?

    Can anyone shed any light on the rear Brake/turn signal assemblies . Was South Africa unique ? I see no red on the brake bulb area of the lens like a normal ROW lense would have. Also , are those small round reflectors on the lower painted section of the rear bumperettes part of the factory build ? I've never seen those.
