Good to know, thanks.

Your Vintage Series line was also forward-thinking, with a focus on the past.

Talking 'bout pancakes and vintage... I have a pleasure of getting in and out of a fully caged 904 to instruct and drive once in a while. Manage to hit, pinch or cut some part of my body_every time_. But it's still beautiful and it's still so much fun...

Really like the F-car rendering above, Jager! Always liked those wheels.

Mike-- I'd end up damaging that valuable 904 with my disposable body. Be careful

IMHO, HRE's wheels like those ^^ from their Vintage Series & now the new Classic line have a lot of creative potential at marrying retro wheels with modern performance machines.

Ehhhh, it's a replica. But I've spilled some blood in it so maybe it's more valuble now?

I love the idea of older and newer together. Heck, this is why I've owned 993 for teh last 10+ years - vintage and a bit archaic with fairly modern decent performance.

+911 ^^
I totally get that!

Much the same reason I started there, & thought,
"Why not mess with a 993 that's perfect the way it is, & go for a modernized homage to the iconic Guards Red / black WB '89 Speedsters?"

Now, back to the OP's regularly-scheduled Classic Series discussion
