Porsche Automobilia

Lorenzo;
I have the dark grey Ulmer Keramik cigarette box & ash tray, but the lighter seldom comes up for sale. of the red ones I have the tapered one in a box, but the other one I've not seen before.
I think this black one is from the 80s (?) it is a gas ( here called "butane") type.

@steve
why the new version of the porsche crest on your maier sportmoden red jacket?

[911MRP]

No idea Haul, perhaps these jackets were still available to purchase later than 1973?

I didn't buy it new -- I was a kid throughout 70s so not buying Porsche cars or their branded clothing when new.

I can say the crest is sewn on professionally using same thread and with exactly the same type of stitching that as was used to construct the rest of jacket, so was evidently applied new by the manufacturer.

Jacket has that very distinctive orange zippered closure and slim fit at waist /multi pocket style and stretch fabric as shown in that 73 catalogue.

Here's a letter that I found in the my car's documentation. I thought it was pretty cool. It's about the latest safety and emission requirements for MY 74. It's signed by Dr. Porsche but I think it's an autopen, but really looks like it could be an original signature (see close-up). It's on onion skin letterhead (what appears to be his personal letterhead) and envelope with awesome stamps and Stuttgart postal office cancellation stamp. Has anyone ever seen/received a letter like this before?

Cheers!

Paul;
I have either an example of this very letter or something similar of the era. the signature is an imprint but it's still pretty cool I have several authentic examples of Ferry's signature. he was more than accommodating if you met him in person. I've heard stories about the San Diego PCA Parade (1977 ?) where he patiently signed autographs for over 2 hours. supposedly guys were standing in line holding parts they had taken off their car in the packing lot !
astounding.

all best

Some strong prices achieved at today's Ladenburg auction....didn't understand why some literature items bid up quite so high tbh? For example these made four figures USD:



Not sure I really should feel approx €2500 wealthier ...on paper... than before this auction sale result but I have one of the 73 colo(u)r cards...

Had a rummage and unearthed things I forgot I had:

The blue 1/2 sleeve shirt with original logo from the correct factory clothing supplier that is specifically referenced in part III if this English language 1972 VW-Porsche original document giving the full list of basic workshop equipment required to be accredited as factory approved 1* 2* 3* service operation corresponding to the glovebox sized service network dealer list publication.

Also the ruby racing jacket modelled in the 1973 accessories brochure along with the then current M492. Think these are quite rare? An example of this jacket appears elsewhere in this thread but but photo of my example close-up shows details like the crest, the large orange zip pull, use of soft elasticated panels for the slim look favoured in 70s and the pockets on body/ arms...it also has a rain hood that tucks up into collar.

May have to give it an airing at the Silverstone Historic
