Special early 1964 features on 1965 cars

Rear wiper photo also has "catacolor" rear glass with spots! Here's the version that Llew Kinst colorized for me. Note reflections in the bumper guards are still black & white. The cropped photo is on page 38. Jens at the Porsche archives said that he thought the license plate color was wrong -- who knew? He also said it was okay to colorize their photo, so it wouldn't be the only black & white photo with the 892 color ones.

Great pic. I think the Austrian plate background should be black

[HughH]

yes they should be black - like in this photo - one of my favorite photos of Nikki Lauda from 1968 at an airport race in Austria in 1968

Attachment 318120

How do I add info from my 65 to this spreadsheet. You have it on a shared drive?

[haul]

which info would you like to add?

wow very nice indeed. I love red leather and pepita.

By the way I heard that pepita colors were bound to the vinyl or leather color. So Black vinyl could never have black/white/red pepita, but would always have black/white pepita? Is that true? What was the formal color scheme?

My old 901 chassis 024 had black vinyl with tri colour pepita , black, white and red.
The red rot matched the chassis colour.
I’ll dig up some old photos of the original seats

I still regret but I no longer have her but still have a large cache of photos that I can share. This was well over 20 years ago and the chassis was in dire need of straightening after josh Sadler had crashed her during a race. .
At that time I did not have the cellete chassis and body jigs I have today . I should not have let her ago and was also offered 0100 from turhills for 5k in that period. !!!

I’m currently working on 3 65’s .. 0760 has slowly headed back uphill.

Gruß, Robert
