Vale: Vin Jacono

Vin Jacono, was on the steering committee of our club, a foundation member, Treasurer for four years and then later PCV Auditor for many years. He died recently, aged 87.

In 2017, Vin gave into his desire to own a 993, buying a fine 1995 example, which added to his garage of Porsches. In that garage is a one-owner white 1970 2.2 litre 911, which he picked up at the factory in Stuttgart, drove for two years and then shipped home. In addition, there is an orange 1971 2.2 litre 911,

Australian delivery, which he bought locally from its first owner in the early seventies.

Vin loved Porsches, and he had history with sports cars and competition before that. Before the Porsches there was an MGA and a TR4, both cars that young men loved before Porsches appeared on our roads. In the 1960s, Vin was a member of the Triumph Sports Owners Association, which was a very active car club already. Vin and his best mate, Kerry Reynolds (PCV President 1978) were committee members of that club, and their joint experience in putting together competition events for the TSOA was important in establishing the sporting reputation of our PCV. They were both very competitive and keen to have good Porsche events to participate in.

Vin dropped out of motor sport, but kept his passion for the marque, enjoying the thrill of those air-cooled flat 6’s through to the end.
