I had the privilege of visiting Porsche Classic a few years ago after visiting the BMW & Mercedes Classic Centers. All 3 were different. BMW was a storage facility (then) for historic cars, mostly race cars. M-B a mix of one of the most eclectic shops I have ever seen - from the Silver Arrows being prepped to be sent to their next "performance," to 600 Pullmans being restored for their oil monarch owners, to newer fully restored M-B's offered for sale. And, of course the archives, the parts reproduced from original machines, and the facility itself.
After a nice lunch in the Porsche dining room overlooking the museum, and a tour of the museum, we were driven to Porsche Classic where Jochen Barder (also in the video) graciously showed us around after admonishing us to not take photos of cars in which license plates were visible. Hard to do, so only a few pix. In the basement was a familiar shape under a tarp. Someone said, "Please don't look under the tarp." Hmm! What was it? A 906 maybe? Not faraway was the body, and separately the chassis of a 907.
Great visit. Thanks, again Jochen.
After that we continued our drive 200 km northwest to my Grandmother's village which looks much the same as it did a century ago.

Great! I've read that the rarest colour for the 997 Speedster is the red and i remember that i've also seen a red one in a Porsche gathering event. Me personally, i really love the blue one. Colour name and code please?

That's definitely the word for the light gray/cream-colored ones in the 'secret prototype warehouse' -- standardized.
BTW, your red cover & its contents rock![rockon](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/rockon.gif)
