I would like to join as as well. My neighbor is interested to. He drives a 997 and i have a couple of 964,s. One of which I will drive down. We are in Bradenton..
Thank you Rich! Glad to see your cap crests aligned correctly.
Ha! I'd be drummed out of the corps otherwise.
Looking forward to our visit, even though I've been several times. There are other cars besides Porsches, of course.
This 1964 Austin Cooper S for example is one of my favorites; I owned a '67 in Red with a Black roof for about 15 years. I bought mine in England from a gent who worked at Rovers. He got me in touch with Mr. Cooper at his Honda Garage in Ferring Hants where I met him several times. It was quite a treat to talk cars in his office with all the pictures of him winning the F1 constructor's championship in '59 and '60.
Much appreciated. If we can get this info to Revs in a week or so, they can better select the Docent for our tour to be more Porsche oriented.
I also spoke with Whitney about the potential for our group to park on the drive, as a group, for a photo. Of course this is entirely optional, but I thought it might make a nice picture.

Hi folks, still looking for anyone who has signed up to add their details to the list...Our contact at Revs is willing to set out a parking area on the drive that morning for a nice photo shoot, but I need to give her some info on how many cars we are making up for this tour...I would appreciate a heads up.
Also, if we make up enough of a group to arrange for a Porsche-knowledgeable docent for our tour, she can make that happen also, but I need to know how many we are going to have to set that up.
She's also going to arrange to put the RL logo (used by permission from IB) on the Revs Marquee that Saturday, look for this on the way in
Initially I said I would would love to join. Unfortunately some other obligatory events have taken precedent on my schedule that day but I will say I am bummed I will not be joining and meeting some additional Rennlisters. Hopefully next time around. For those that to do go...enjoy!!
Ok, I just spoke to Whitney at Revs to reconfirm. All is well.
In order to get an idea of headcount, please can everyone who’s bought tickets please re-post this list and add/edit your name:
1. Rich Jenkins (2 persons) - 17 991.2 C2 GT Silver
2. Frank (1 person) - 21 992 TTS Cab Adventura Green
3.
4.
5.
6.
etc.

Frank - Looks like it's just us two. We plan to drive down from Venice in the morning, and stop in the First Watch around the corner for breakfast. Should be at the parking area at Revs between 10 and 1015 or so, will be in my GT Silver 991 C2. I don't know if Whitney will let us park on the entry drive with just two cars, but I will ask when I call her this week to confirm how many folks they have signed up that day. At this point I assume it's going to be a standard docent led tour, since we won't have that many folks to make up a Porsche-only group. Still, the museum is pretty interesting for sure. I have an appointment back in Nokomis that afternoon, so we are going to head back after the visit.
Had a great time yesterday at Revs Institute. Every time we go, we hear a different perspective from the docent, and this time was no different. The tour was about 2 hours, including the workshop, covering the entirety of the museum. Gift shop was well stocked, picked up an obligatory Revs T-shirt and some other swag. Great to meet up with @pet2065 as well. If you are ever in the Naples FL area, I highly recommend a visit.
1964 901 - Chassis 300-128 competed in the 1966 Sebring 24 Hour Race. This privateer entry finished 16th overall and won the 2.0l class, becoming the first Porsche to win a road race anywhere in the world.

I have to agree and second the recommendation. Your ticket allows you access after the tour and I went back and visited the entire museum taking in each vehicle in more detail. Many of the tour guys recognized me from the tour and took time to stop and chat about more details and experiences. Thanks for setting things up Rich.
