looking for Mr John L Williamson

[michel]

I have an imported 1971t originally bought and owned by a John L Williamson who lived at 311 Bay Front Balboa 1st Califonia 92660

Chassis number 9111101333

The dealer the car was bought from was Chick Iverson Inc, Newport Beach Cali.

Know it is a long shot. Car now resides in Australia. Interested to track down some more info on its past.

cheers

Call this place and politely ask Otto if it was his car.

Thanks . Will do though who is Otto?

Key word is "politely". lol
Let's put it this way: John (Otto) will never be running for public office- he's too honest and blunt. Great guy who knows his Porsche stuff. We need more like him.

I'll second that. John (aka Otto) does not suffer fools or time wasters gladly. His extensive knowledge and skills come from long experience. Quite an accomplished driver. There must be a story behind why John is known as Otto.

I choose my words carefully and using "politely" was not an exception. John (Otto) is a wealth of Porsche knowledge dating back to the 1960s and has been very helpful over the years. OTTO relates to his time in the USMC but it is his story to tell. . .

Thanks for the Otto lead..received the simple reply ..."not me" two days ago.

So still looking for a Mr John L Williamson who lived at 311 Bay Front Balboa 1st Califonia 92660 back in the 70's

cheers Michel

Took awhile though have finally been in touch with the family (John passed away in the 80's) and they kindly sent a couple of images of the car from 1973 in Palm Desert - car looks cool in its original Metallic Gold ( now painted the 'rare' metallic silver). Hoping to receive a bit more info on the car if they can locate it.

It was sold not long after to Dennis Bramnick - if anyone knows the gent, who I believe is still living in the Newport area I'd be interested to get in touch.

cheers
