There you have a few choices: just to humour me go to Media Gallery first - there you will see in pic No. 9 a beautiful blue sunroof 1960 B, and the guy about to get his head blown off by the cannon is holding a Rolleiflex! mein gott!
The first of those is of course delicious - a split windshield coupe from the very early 1950s in aged, soft kodachrome by some Moorish port, probably in Spain.
Before you leave the media gallery be sure to go back to pic No. 3 - a lavender C cabriolet, with a colour co-ordinated veil of mist shrouding the trees in the background!
When you have had your fill of that go back to the Road Vehicles page - select the 'type series' 356 and any year that takes your fancy. Be sure to change the selection for Type Series to the A, B and C and the 911 variants. I amuse myself for ages with these nostalgic images. For reasons I can't quite explain my favourite is the 1956 356A.
If you don't get out much and are stuck at home with the check blanket over your knees, you can spend hours at this ;-)
sincerely yours

Who is the hot blonde ? ....and does she have my ph number ??
to reduce the pics to links, just remove the [IMG] & [/IMG] code either side of the URL
This Porsche site is BRILLIANT !!!!
Thank you for showing me. I share your love of nostalgic photos !
Hence the "style" of avatar I use
I have often thought of reproducing the technique with a modern Porsche, and running that as my Unique Cars advert
.....actually, i think you have just motivated me to do it
LOL

JoAnne and Q, thanks for the compliments.
Glad you liked the Porsche Classic site. Yes, a modern Porsche in a time warp setting would be very attractive. Getting the girls to wear the outfits from the 50s could be a problem :-)
Q - my lovely wife will be flattered to be referred to as a 'hot blonde' - being the mother of four and now the grandmother of four!
That shot was taken a few months ago as she looked fondly at our grandson who had overnighted with us - little red haired bloke shown in the Bali Blue C below with his grandma:

Mummy or Granny, she's just a girl - what was that song Maurice Chevalier used to sing? - "thank heaven ... etc" ;-)
The Bali blue was put up for sale on Carsales by the chap in Melbourne who had owned it for many years. It had won concours down there for originality. I mulled it over, mucked about, then called him. It had just been sold. Anyway we had a good yarn.
A year later I saw it for sale again. At Buderim. Called the seller and the chap in Melbourne - yes it was the same car. Engine, trans and chassis in great condition. Bought it. Had more chats with the former owner in Melbourne getting more history etc. He said that if I ever wanted to sell it he would like it back. So, when the 'blonde bombshell' threw a fit last summer about the two non-aircon cars in the garage I gave him a call, and it returned home to Melbourne ... :-(
If the aircon on this 3.2 911 doesn't hold up over summer there will be hell to pay!!
