Default 70th anniversary exhibition in Brussels

Very comprehensive 70th Anniversay exhibition at the Autoworld Museum in Brussels kicked off last night. Probably the best exhibition right now outside of the Porsche Museum to the extent that the event was attended by Dr Wolfgang Porsche with some very important contributions from the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart.

A very good friend of mine contributed 17 cars to the exhibition including every RS ever made....with one exception. He does not own the latest 991.2 RS so asked me if I would like to loan my car to the Museum for 6 weeks to complete the RS section of the exhibition to which I agreed....hey, its winter...what else am I to do with the car. Photos from the opening night. My LG RS is on the end.

Yes, I was also let down by the Porsche Museums representation of RSs. Indeed, I was a bit disappointed by their display overall. I found it a bit haphazard in how they arranged their cars. The Brussels exhibition is much better in my opinion with all the RSs together, plus separate lines/groups of 911, 356, Speedster, 904, super cars (GT1, 959, CGT, 918) and racing cars so you can easily see the natural progression of each line.

Some more photos from the opening night.

such linage and evolution from kind of a goofy little car at the first seed to the company we know today, really amazing and OP your dedication to share
here and your enthusiasm is part of why your lens was able to capture such a evolving product .
Cool stuff or the company has continued to create the want factor enough to support it to existence .

Johan's collection is impressive, and he is such a nice guy

Do you have others pictures of the red 928 CS, next to Ferry's green shooting brake?
I think that I know this car, but I still need to locate many red 928 CS.
Thanks in advance.

With a better look at the picture, I'm now 100% sure that I know this 928 CS.
