Wow.. love it when new (to me) photos show up, thanks Samuel. The first one from Revs Digital... I went through Revs digital about 2 years ago and never saw that one, maybe a recent addition to Revs. Great photo, I love how the bumper paint doesn't match, this is one of the better photos to show how the pre-production bumper should fit. I'm looking forward to seeing car #11 soon.

You are welcome.
The Revs Digital's picture was certainly taken in la Sarthe, near Téloché. The background looks like a typical church from here.

That seems to be a very difficult challenge, but I've been thinking about an early 928 meeting for years ! Anyway, the Mas d'Artigny doesn't look like it was in 1977 any more.

Sadly, I have discovered that the hotel is closed, but the area of Saint-Paul-de-Vence is still marvelous, I'm sure.

It seems that most of the S-CX are now in the USA.

Lets do it!

An early car reunion...???

Jim has been storing number 6 at my garage for a few years now, and number 2 will get here sometime after it is running and the roof and miscellaneous bits are restored.

(Number 6 is hiding under the beige cover with the pasha cloth and red bow on it in the corner quietly awaiting its next adventure...)







Perhaps we can do it in a year or two at my new car cave... This gives Brian time to finish number 11 and some of the others to be found and brought to life...




#30 has to come too!!!

What should the cutoff be for invitation to the early cars reunion?

The first 12?

The first 100?

The first year?

Andrew? Jim? Ed? Brian? What do you guys think of an early car reunion in an obscure place in the north central part of the country?



We even have a castle nearby for photo opportunities!

Sounds like a good time! I wouldn’t mind setting something up. I will definitely need a deadline to motivate me to get the car done. A year and a half is probably the soonest for me.

The pedals in that pic are missing the rubber covers.

Neither pedal is drilled for pedal spacers.
