Yes! it's an original Porsche Christmas greetings card from Huschke Von Hanstein to Paul Ernst Strähle.

I think I've posted this before, a similar card from von Hanstein to my father in December '62.
His note reads "Your Carrera has been already shipped and I hope you'll like it". A letter from Lars Schmidt also informed us that our Carrera had been shipped.

Also, a July '62 letter from von Hanstein to my father, one of several I have.

Lots 780-786, Le Mans 24 hr photo albums with plenty of pictures probably never published anywhere. The 1973 album specially with pictures of the RSR.

Tie …….not sure what era.



It looks to be later than the two blue ones I posted previously:

Same material same maker but different widths of necktie reflecting changing clothing fashions:
Attachment 591653
Attachment 591654

Don’t need two but not sure which to keep and which to sell.

Any fashionistas here who know about such trends — might skinnier be the 60s and the wider early 70s?

The thinner one is probably more suitable attire for the Goodwood Revival which has a date limit coinciding with the Duke closing the race track around 1966.

Looks like one similar to the wider blue with red logo example appears on advertising article publication item 8:

This is a VW-Porsche sales Programme publication (not labelled Porsche +Audi) comprising 36 pages it’s written in English so presumably for use in the English-speaking markets — UK and Ireland, Australia, South Africa etc — those markets corresponding to the British commonwealth collectively referred in Porsche parlance as the rest of world ( ROW) to differentiate form North American markets? Possibly the some of same content was also used in North America despite the VW-Porsche label on front (rather than headed P+A that would be expected in NA) or perhaps there was different equivalent material in sales the programme training guides I’ve seen that were more obviously for North America?

Explains the then new features and their benefits to customers for both 911 and 914 ranges Quite a lot of what is clearly intended to be self learning for retail sales training and support helps with the relative positioning of the 911 vis a vis the contemporary 914.
Attachment 630265


No specific publication date other than the several years referred to
in title but clearly was published around the time of the model year 72 introduction given the following note:


I quite liked these two points found among the summary of customers who Porsche was aiming for:


Curiously no mention on the list of the stereotypical target:
“men of a certain age with no longer megre income having a mid-life crisis hoping catch attention of single girls (and women) of megre income” .. ?

Agfa AutoSet: with Iso-Rapid from 1968/69 and Agfamatic 2000 from 1973/74. These sets were specifically made from Agfa Gevaert company to be kept in the glove compartment of the car. They were used to document travel-related events, accidents, etc.

While cameras are very common and easy to find the full set with paper box is rare. The AutoSet with the racing early 911 box was a Porsche accessory.

I have another early autoSet with Iso-Rapid camera with a brown box showing an Alfa Romeo 1750 dashboard, I don't know any other types of box.
