RexWiddison Broadbent’s 911S Editor: Ron under the microscope

Also featured is the Summer Run to Victorian Goldfields and the excellent first club night at Lorbek’s beautiful new showroom in Port Melbourne.

But with my 50th birthday falling on the same day as the mid-week run I just had to take the day off work and join the crew for a drive down to the Tool shed at Noojee in the 964.

Will Darvall and I take a drive down the coast for this instalment of What’s In Your Garage and David Turner writes on the cars he wished he still owned - something we can all relate to.

Although the run notes were excellent it was a little difficult to read them and keep up with the Boxster and Cayman GTS’s in front of me, so I buried the right foot and did my best.

Our President Andrew Bonwick reports on his “cool” trip to the International Presidents meeting in Finland and lastly we report on the passing of PCV legend, past President (1989 - 1992), original Hall Of Fame Member, Outright Champion, Club Champion and Club Member of the year Graham Stockley.

I’m an air cooled guy but the sound of the GTS exhaust on the up and down shift made me very jealous.

It was a great drive through some beautiful backroads to Gippsland that I had never driven before followed by a great lunch at the picturesque “Toolshed” with my fellow Porshaphiles. If you have never been on a social day out with the club I thoroughly recommend you do so.

Graham attended our 40th Anniversary lunch last year; I’m sure he was proud of what he helped build into this marvellous club we have today.

Thank you to all who contributed to this issue.

president’s message

Andrew Bonwick President president@pcv.com.au

Tony Carolan Vice President & Competition Director vp@pcv.com.au

Welcome to the autumn edition of Porsche Parade.

Please enjoy the articles in this edition on social and register activity, of which there continues to be a long and varied list. Thank you to the Social Committee and Register Captains for their continuing enthusiasm and effort. Of particular mention in this context should be the members who contribute their time to check runs, actually driving a run prior to the day to ensure your run notes are as accurate and easy to read as possible. This is valuable contribution to in-carharmony on a run, which is always important!

A personal highlight was the International Presidents Meeting at Levi in Finland which Tony Carolan and I attended in early March. Over the two days there were a number of opportunities to discuss with other Porsche Clubs how they compared with PCV, what activities their members most valued and what were their opportunities and constraints. The size of the Clubs varied enormously, with PCV being on the whole seen as a large and active Club. I felt that we also seemed to have more motorsport activity than other clubs, and certainly were much more self-contained with our own marshals and race control. We have less involvement from 356 owners than is common elsewhere, and our efforts to re-engage with the 356 Register should continue.

The track program has got off to a great start with successful events at Phillip Island and Sandown with Haunted Hills and the Sandown 240 Regularity coming up. The Regularity is going well, with entries so far making the event profitable for us with more than a month to go. It is a fun and inclusive event, so if you have some track experience and you are thinking about joining a very different motorsport event give Tony Carolan a call to be included in a team.

Driving, spectating or marshalling, there is a place to enjoy motorsport at PCV. We have the organisation, the program and the processes to ensure that our attendees enjoy the day.

Enjoyment guaranteed – come and try it.

Growth in an organisation like ours is a good indicator of organisational health. It provides financial stability, new members to enjoy our passion for this marque, new people who can contribute to club organisation and new ideas for activities within the club. The increasing size of the Club has helped the return of profitability for the track activities, which have a high fixed cost component and are recovering from a drop in attendances several years ago. The Club is looking at managing, or avoiding, growing pains.

We have had a number of comments about venue noise at recent Social runs. The Social runs are catering for 150-200+ attendees these days, and this is a large group for most of the country Victoria venues we would consider as a lunch destination. The conversation that is such an enjoyable part of these events combined with packed houses can sometimes mean excessive noise, and this is something we are aware of. We will need to review the way we provide for these events, if only to avoid closing off events that are full. Our objective is to provide availability for every member who would like to come to a run.

Some of the same issues will start to occur for Club nights, given capacity constraints at Porsche Centre Brighton and to a lesser extent at Melbourne and Doncaster. The attendance at Lorbek’s was expected to be around 150, and over 250 people came and enjoyed the cars and conversations with approximately 30 members on a waitlist.

If you haven’t yet attended a club event, you may be wondering what in the cornucopia of club events you should try first. There is no correct answer to that, except – try something. Whatever takes your fancy we are looking forward to you participating in your club, enjoying the company of other members, and the noise and excitement of the best sports marque in the world.

social corner Welcome to the First Edition of the Social Corner for 2016.

Hard to believe it’s already 4 months into the year, but luckily we’ve had a great ‘Social’ start to year with the first Club Night, and Summer Run. In regards to the ‘kick off’ event for the year, the Club Night was held at Lorbek’s stunning new showroom in Port Melbourne. Srecko Lorbek certainly took on ‘raising the bar’ starting with a grand entrance of red carpet, and then a welcome glass of Mumm Champagne. Upon entering each attendee then had the challenging task of where to start the browsing, but by showcasing a selection of classic and rare modern Porsches near the entrance, it made any easy choice for PCV members and their guests as a natural starting point. This was followed up by an equally impressive collection of other great marques, Italian, more German, and English types. With hundreds of cars on display there was certainly something(s) for everyone, and with a friendly team of sales staff at the ready… In fine tradition of Srecko’s attention to detail he mentioned that one of the display cars although sold, and ready for the weekend escape, had to be delayed due to its careful placement in the inner circle of display Porsches for our Club Night.

With dinner and drinks underway, the night then proceeded with guest speakers, including Liqui- Moly and Srecko himself, who spoke of his journey in the industry from a very humble beginning.

The night was then followed by the auction of 4 Porsche significant Membership numbers with proceeds being shared with the CFA (Country Fire Authority), and Srecko offering barista class coffee from a machine that looked like it was ready for pole position in its Martini Racing stripes. A very big thank you for the support from Srecko and his team, and all our members who assisted on the night.

I’d also like to acknowledge that a number of members were unable to attend the Club Night. Our aim is to ensure all members can ‘enjoyably participate’ at our events, but the Lorbek Club Night exceeded all expectations, therefore a decision was made to cap the numbers to ensure that the night could be held in a comfortable, safe, and serviceable environment. With feedback and lessons learnt, we are certainly keen to ensure our planning for future functions can service and support a successful Club Night, but please ensure if you are interested in attending an event that you register in a timely manner (the PCV website calendar lists most events to assist in planning).

the scenes to provide services on the night.

I would like to pass on a very big thank you to two Social Committee members who have dedicated much time and effort in supporting the Social Committee and its events. Michael Bailey who is taking a well-earned break, and most of you will know has serviced the bar at Club Nights, and ensured good manners are rewarded with good service, and Rowan Burnett who has decided to step down from the Social Committee, but remain an active Club Member.

In closing, the Social Committee is looking forward to sharing the events in 2016 with you, and we welcome members becoming more active in the Club, through either feedback, suggestions, or directly engaging in the Social Committee.

Please feel free to contact me for more information in regards to the Social Committee.

Regards, Alex Harmati PCV Social Director E: social@pcv.com.au

Finally, as previously mentioned the Social Committee consists of passionate members who go ‘above and beyond’ to plan, execute and support our events, many are working behind

from race control The 2016 competition season kicked off with to a great start at Phillip Island on the 31st of January. 108 entries was the highest for some years and we were complimented by a number of PCSA members who travelled across and joined us for the event.

Phillip Island saw the first entrants in the new Cup Class. This class was introduced to cater for the increasing number of ex Carrera Cup vehicles that come on the market whenever Porsche introduces a new model for their worldwide Carrera Cup series. These vehicles offer a very cost effective option for our members to experience the thrill of driving a purpose built racing car and we are seeing more and more of them entering our events.

We did have an unfortunate incident at Phillip Island with a collision occurring between two Entree Class vehicles. Both the drivers and their Entree mentors were fortunately uninjured, but there was substantial vehicle damage. The reason that I mention this is that we seek to learn from every experience and as a result of this accident we have introduced a number of changes in how we run Entree Class. These changes which focus on a better understanding of vehicle capabilities were introduced at the next Sandown event. They received very

favourable comments from the entrants and from the CAMS official who was present.

With most of our events now being multi club permitted, we are seeing an interesting range of different vehicles being entered in addition to the usual variants of Porsche sports cars. One particularly interesting vehicle was an Erebus Motorsport AMG SLS GT3 Mercedes driven by a young 17 year old American driver who was having a test run prior to competing at the Bathurst 12 Hour the following weekend. In addition we have seen a Ferrari 458 Challenge car, a Radical SR3Rs, Mini Cooper S R53, Renault Clio Cup car, Porsche 550 replica and Panameras and Macans in Entree Class.

We would like to see more Club members coming along to spectate at out motorsport events. As noted above you will see a very interesting range of vehicles plus some great competition between our regular entrants. Food services are always provided and good coffee, at most venues. You can call in and leave at any time, so please call in and enjoy the thrills of our motorsport activities.

Our major event for the year is the Sandown 240.

This is a 4 Hour teams regularity event that will be held at Sandown Raceway on Sunday 24 April.

Typically these events involve teams of 4 drivers each with their own car, doing 30 minute stints on the track where the objective is to go as close as possible, but not under, a nominated lap time.

Points are awarded and the winners declared based on who goes closest to their nominated time. Entries are going very well and it is likely that we will have around 30 teams from a variety of clubs. Again, I would invite all PCV members to pop into Sandown during the day and enjoy the colour and excitement of this fun event.

After the regularity we have an unusually long break in our calendar to mid June. This is a result of the demand from all car clubs for what is becoming a diminishing number of suitable venues for our events. With the prospect of Sandown, which we use 4 times each year, also closing sometime in the next 5 years this is becoming a major concern.

Fortunately there are a number of initiatives to establish new tracks which PCV is supporting whenever possible. The most advanced of these is a new facility near Ballarat which is getting a lot of support as a regional initiative.

All the best to our competitors for the remainder of the competition year.

Safe travelling.

what’s in your garage?

Peter Hemphill at home with his performance cars.

Peter Hemphill has processed and stored enough apples over the years to stretch to the moon and back a thousand times, or a hell of a lot anyway, and he’s still doing it.

Along the way, this quiet achiever has gathered a carefully considered collection of 4 cars from 3 different manufacturers (ignoring the work Nissan), now all united by marriage under the VW umbrella. Peter cherishes his cars and keeps them for a long time. Growing up in the 50’s and 60’s, he had the obligatory TR3A (that was a Triumph, an English “sports car”), a TR4 (so’s that), and a Celica, which rusted until the road seen through the floor could be used as a speedometer.

Peter joined PCV in about 1985 and raced a 944 for a long time. For the last 5 years or so, he has been a keen member of the mighty marshals group, who help to keep the competition drivers informed and safe on the track.

The carefully curated collection.

The 944 Turbo was bought new in 1986, with an LSD, and has 928 brakes on the front, with the fronts on the rear (initially they had 911 brakes).

Hamilton’s chipped the motor and modified the wastegate, to increase the standard 162 kW (220 HP). In ‘88, the Turbo S was produced with 186 kW (250 HP). The Turbos ran from ‘85-’91, with 25,000 produced, including about 300 Cup cars in ‘87-’88, out of about 163,000 total production (numbers vary) of 944s. The 944 was the most successful Porsche model until the Boxster and then the 997. In ‘84 Car and Driver named the 944 as the best handling production car in America. It was on C and D’s ten best cars list from ‘83-’86. In ‘87 it was the first production car in the world with driver and passenger airbags. Peter’s car has had a somewhat chequered career, having finished on its roof once, avoiding an oncoming road hog.

It has done 150 K’s and Peter is very fond of it.

The VW Mark 4 R32 was also bought new, in 2004, from the first shipment into Oz. It was the successor to the Mark 3 VR6, with the capacity increased from 2.8 to 3.2, in a narrow angle V6, with 150 kW (204 HP), 6 speed manual, Haldex 4 Motion “on demand” AWD (rears only engaged with lack of front traction), fabulous deep wrap around Konig sports seats, and all in the rare Deep Blue Pearl 2 door version. 200 came to

Oz, with other colours Silver and Black. For the first time in history, DSG transmission was an option. Mark 4 cars ran from ‘02-’05, the Mark 5 ran from ‘05-’09, with more power from the same motor, with DSG only, and in subsequent series a Turbo 4 has been used. Thus the Mark 4 is seriously desirable for the true believers. Peter put this car on the track only at a Calder driver training day, where he could catch the 911s in the wet. It shows only 58K and is immaculate.

The 2008 Silver Audi B7 RS4 was bought in ‘09. The RS (Renn Sport) models, the ultimate Audi performance versions, began with the Porsche- developed RS2, followed by the Avant- only (station wagon) B5 RS4, which ran from ‘99-’01, with a 5 valve Turbo 2.7 V6.

There was no B6 RS4, so the B7 RS4 arrived in ‘06 and ran for 2 years, with the first saloon version, as well as Avant, and a 2 door cabriolet version, which didn’t come to Oz. The motor is a naturally aspirated 4.2 V8, revving to 8,250, with 309 kW (420 HP), shared with the R8, and a 6 speed manual only. It has all the electronic nanny handling controls, front 8 pot calipers shared with the Gallardo, Recaro sports seats with multiple comfort adjustments and permanent 4WD. It won Top Gear’s Most Surprising Car award in 2005 and won the International Performance Car section of the International COTY awards in 2007, beating the 911 Turbo and GT3, the Ferrari 599 GTB, and XKR Jag. Shortly after buying this car, Peter took it to Attwood on a PCV competition day and, seeing its stability on the skid pan, my lust for this model was rekindled. That night I found a Misano Red car (almost identical to Guards Red) at Brighton Audi, which I had never seen before, and next day Barb and I drove it and bought it. Peter’s car is immaculate and only has 42K. Jeremy Clarkson’s drive across Europe on Top Gear many years ago helped to give the car cult status, which probably encouraged an epidemic of thefts by the local villains. The subsequent B8 RS4 is only in the Avant, so this model is very special, being the only saloon, which is an absolute delight to own and drive.

The 2010 Series 2 997 was bought almost new, and is still like it, with only 26K. The 3.8 motor has Direct Injection, with 283 kW (385 HP) into a 7 speed PDK ‘box. The Series 1 ran from ‘04-’08 and the improved Series 2 ran from ‘09-’12, with 21 different models! As noted above, the 997 was very popular and is probably a bit of a sleeper, with so much attention on earlier cars’ prices. The 991 is longer and looks more like an Aston Martin, meaning the 997 is the last of the “original” shape, even though it’s totally different from an original! You all know about 911s, so I don’t need to say any more.

International Presidents Meeting Levi, Finland, March 2016

20

PORSCHE PARADE

President Andrew Bonwick and Vice President Tony Carolan represent the PCV at the International Presidents meeting in Finland.

ISSUE 1, 2016

21

At the invitation of Porsche AG, Andrew Bonwick and Tony Carolan joined 212 other Presidents and Vice Presidents at the 16th International Presidents Meeting (“IPM”)of Porsche Clubs at Levi in northern Finland – 170 km north of the Arctic Circle.

The last meeting was in Cape Town in 2011 to coincide with the release of the 991 . Levi is the location of the Porsche Winter Programme ice driving school. If there was plenty of ice, there was also loads and loads of snow.

Porsche is about driving. At the start of the first day we had a driver’s briefing and then joined one of the buses for the 30 minute trip out to the facility, where we didn’t really know what to expect. OK, except ice. Off the bus, met the two instructors and then introduced to our 5 cars – 3 911 series 2 991 Carrera S, a Carrera 4S and a Turbo S. This was going to be fantastic.

The Ice Experience facility has three large areas carved out of the wilderness. The facility is set up in November each year, and takes about a month to create. It then runs right thru until mid March, catering for over 1700 enthusiastic, fortunate Porsche drivers. The two instructors emphasised aspects of vehicle handling on ice at the drivers briefing and then we drove around to the first training track. The facility was hosting 5 or 6 groups of 5 cars simultaneously and easily accommodated this number. It is an enormous facility. The western area has three slalom courses, three drift circles and their ‘rally flick’ training squares, plus three or four handling courses. The northern and western areas each have 8-10 handling areas of varying length and complexity out in the open or mixed in among the trees. Including one specifically designed for GT3s.

PORSCHE

PARADE

The technique is familiar to rally or dirt drivers and the Top Gear hosts. The cars are fitted with studded ice tyres but getting them around the circuits as fast as possible means lots of sideways drift and controlling power slides. We moved around between the different vehicles.

The 2wd Carreras were agile cars with loads of technology. Very hard on the ice to get the power down without spearing off under massive understeer – after all we had PSM turned off – but once the car was power drifting cornering was lots of fun. The 4wd cars were awesome, drift was very helpful in getting transit through the apex of the corner quickly, but once pointed in vaguely the right direction the power would literally just pull the car into the next straight – accompanied by deep engine music.

A fantastic way to meet the newest cars in the 911 stable.

There was also a surprise treat where Porsche brought along their current works LMP1 driver, Mark Lieb. There were ballots for hot lap rides with Mark, but unfortunately Tony and I missed out. Mark had never driven on ice before, but certainly the ones lucky enough to get a ride with him in a 918 didn’t notice any lack of experience and got a very exciting ride.

Porsche also organised Arctic activities, including skidoo rides out over the country side (and flat out on ice lakes – yahoooo – I didn’t know they were so quick), dog and reindeer sledding, as well as cultural activities to sample Lappish cuisine and customs.

The international Porsche Clubs are a comprehensive sample of the Porsche tradition.

The larger populations (USA, Europe and the UK) have strong mix of modern, racing, 356 and

928 focussed clubs, often under an umbrella structure to provide resources and event and member systems. Other areas of the world have more broad membership cultures like PCV and the other Australian Clubs. Our region was represented by Tasmania, New South Wales, West Australia and New Zealand as well as PCV. It was very interesting to use the available time talking with the others about Porsche (taken for granted) as well as each clubs size and focus, how they managed events and what sort of events they ran, how they introduced people to the club and to the track and their plans for growth. They varied from Dubai with two highly engaging guys, one of which has built a powerful track program for training new owners on the one decent track in Dubai, to some highly entertaining South Africans and every polygot language group in between. This biggest issue the Moscow Classic Porsche club has is how to get cars into the country – used cars less than 30 yrs old are basically a prohibited import.

Lessons learned? Fantastic cars with incredible driver oriented technology, and a company that is fanatical about the driver experience.

The Australian clubs need to think through the advantages and issues that would be associated with an umbrella organisation. PCV is very well set up in the way our systems and processes work, and the breadth of our members contribution in social activities, track experience and marshalling and our financial stability.

“ARSCHLOCH”

Page40 1 of 2

Class: B

Class: C

Class: D

Class: OTHER

Dear Editor, Further to our conversation this evening, I am forwarding details of the “unusual” markings, found etched into the engine case of my 1977, Carrera 3.0 litre.

Louie Giosis at Motion Automotive, totally rebuilt the engine late last year and in doing so, came across the etched and we’re sure, nonfactory endorsed markings. He showed it to me, saying that he had never seen the likes of it before and that he was awaiting a call back from a friend that spoke German, for the translation.

I took a photo of it, to show my wife, as she is German and she laughed saying that “ARSCHLOCH” translates to “ARSEHOLE” in English.

I can only think, that this “private endorsement”, has been etched by an unhappy Monday morning tech, possibly after a big Sunday night on the schnapps!!!!

I have owned this beautiful Porsche since 1985,purchasing it from the original owner. Louie has serviced the car from day 1, so there has been no chance of any interference along the way.

Maybe the technician had a premonition, that I was to finish up the eventual owner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I only service cars for my friends...

It doesn’t always start that way, but that’s how it ends up. We both own Porsches, we have shared values and interests. They’re skilled and committed to their careers, same here.

When I started as an apprentice at Hamiltons over 15 years ago, it was bred into the Service Team to always go the extra mile, always strive for excellence. I call it the “Hamiltons Touch”, and it’s part of my DNA. My friends deal directly with me, I do the work, I answer their questions, I sort problems. They get the Hamiltons Touch without the price. … and I’m always looking for new friends. “the car ran beautifully...the whole car was feeling more refined…

A very good outcome and satisfied customer.” Stephen Marshall “my wife is very happy with her Boxster’s performance and says it even sounds better... your follow up call was also greatly appreciated.” John Mitsy

Story: David Turner

The Cars I Wish I Still Owned Going to Art School each day in a Morris Minor just didn’t cut it.

Especially as most of my mates had E types, MGs, Austin Healeys and other forms of exotica. I had no money, hey I’m an art student, but then I found an MG TD for $175 that had had a collision with a Melbourne tram. My parents were horrified but I managed to get it reasonably straight and I still remember the thrill to this day of driving it down Toorak Road at dusk.

Then I met the lovely Jennie to share the joys of open air motoring. But this didn’t last, as we were about to be married. So I decided to be sensible and sold the MG and bought a XL Ford Falcon!! This was a pretty boring move on my behalf and two months after being married I bought an Austin Healey 100/4 BN1 and then a 1938 Morgan 4/4. Both these cars I rebuilt in the landlord’s carport, much to his displeasure, but then, these cars were definitely not boring!! I sold the Austin Healey to buy another Healey BN1 that had been built as a 100S replica.

It had a big bank of lights across the front, a Perspex windscreen, side exhaust and its sole purpose was to drive along the Great Ocean Road at 6.00 am, flat out to Lorne and back before I went to work.

thought. I did have a big exhibition of my work in London, but the need to drive something interesting soon emerged and ended up with me owning a Triumph TR3, an MG Midget and an Austin Healey 3000 BJ7, all parked in the street in front of our flat in Hampstead Heath. You can never have too many cars.

The Healey was driven right through Europe, from London to Athens then back up through Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Norway and Finland, mostly with the roof down. After two years in London we returned to Oz with me importing the big Healey.

The two cars I had in Oz I had to sell for a deposit on a house, then I sold the big Healey to buy a 250 GTE Ferrari. I bought this car in 1976 for $7,500. Fantastic motor car but then after two years of ownerships I fell in love with everything Lotus and the Ferrari had to go. I sold it to a guy in Sydney for $10,000. Knowing the prices of Ferrari now, this was definitely one I should have kept.

in the car for over three hours while I tried to get it fixed.

As our son Robert, was fast growing up, Jennie informed me she needed a family car. So I bought her a hot Cooper S with bored out motor, big Webber and mag wheels. For its size it was the fastest thing I’d driven on four wheels. Jennie coped until she lost control in the driveway and ran over the pusher. Luckily Robert wasn’t in it at the time.

The Cooper S started a terrible addiction with me owning and restoring over thirty vehicles.

The highlight was owning a genuine Bathurst Cooper S that had competed in 1973, 74 and 75 achieving third in class in 75 with John Delacca and Terry Wade driving.

It was time to move on. Jennie was fed up with the Cooper Ss littering the back garden so they had to go.

I bought a beautiful little Lancia Fulvia for Jennie to drive. After the Cooper S this was a very sedate little coupe, which I then sold for a BMW CS Coupe. Now we are talking real style and presence.

I totally rebuilt the NSU and imported from the US a peripheral ported Mazda RX7 motor which I successfully mated to the Sporto gearbox - shades of Porsche entering here. What a rocket ship, it was a handful to drive and capable of very excessive speeds. I entered it into the Herald Classic Car exhibition at the Exhibition Buildings Melbourne, and won the section for the best presented modern motor vehicle.

Sons can be really annoying. ‘Dad why don’t you buy a Porsche?’ This went on for weeks. Eventually I relented and bought an SC Sporto.

What a revelation! I didn’t think I could find this quality of build and performance in a motor car, and so started another addiction. Having owned several 911s and 944s I have finally achieved something that is quite amazing. I actually want to keep my 993 Carrera S and the 944 Turbo. Totally different motor cars, each with their own unique character but offering such joy to drive.

Both these cars went into storage and Jennie and I headed to London so I could become famous, or so I

Moving on, I bought three Lotuses, rebuilding two, a Lotus S2, and Elan Plus2 as a JPS plus another Plus2. Lotus is a great driver’s car, superb handling, beautifully balanced, exhilarating to drive but unfortunately prone to breakage.

The plastic petrol pipe on the Plus 2 broke just outside of Alexandria on a wet Sunday afternoon.

It’s not the end of the story because although Porsche are great motor cars I needed something to really have fun in. So the latest addition to the fleet is a BMW M3 E36 Evo. Now this is truly a rocket ship!!

PS: Jennie is very happy in her Audi A3. Woe betide any suggestion of selling this at the moment.

Summer Club Night at Lorbek Luxury Cars Story: Rowan Burnett Photos: Felix Rieniets

ISSUE 1, 2016

Our first Club Night of the year was held in the magnificent new showroom of Lorbek Luxury Cars run by long standing club member, Srecko Lorbek. A club record attendance was achieved with in excess of 250 members enjoying a red carpet welcome and a Mumm Champagne welcome drink courtesy of Srecko’s connection with the famous beverage. Catering also included a sumptuous BBQ buffet, wines and beer amongst a very fine display of luxury cars.

The evening kicked off with Club President, Andrew Bonwick, welcoming members to the showroom and providing an overview of upcoming social and competition events for the year. Tony Carolan, our Competition Director, spoke about the first round of competition held at Phillip lsland and updated members on the rest of the track events for 2016, in particular the Sandown 240 in April. It was then over to Ken Anson, the Registers Director, to outline upcoming register events for the year and encourage members to join in the drive days organised by the Register Captains.

Alex Harmati, our Social Director paid special thanks to Srecko for letting the club use the new showroom which to many members was simply stunning. Alex then went on to host the auction of four “Porsche significant” membership numbers, all of which were snapped up.

Our first guest speaker was Dirk Van Heer from Liqui-Moly, who with his team, have the fantastic job of promoting their brand of oils, a race proven product in Porsches as well as many other luxury makes. A highlight of Dirk’s presentation was the running of the Bathurst 12 Hour which was thoroughly enjoyed by members.

World renowned drivers in the best luxury brand cars sponsored by Liqui-Moly, with a take home calendar on offer too.

Next guest speaker was Srecko Lorbek who graciously thanked the club for attending his facility and spoke next of his vision for the future of the luxury car business. He briefly shared the journey from his humble beginnings in Fairfield to the magnificent premises that house the greatest luxury cars in the world. Members were captivated by the array of luxury Porsches, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, along with the very rare GT40 and McLaren P1.

Our club night exceeded all expectations and it was the first time a ‘wait list’ had to be put into place for a club night. We sincerely apologise to the members who were unable to be accommodated at this event. We all hope all that attended enjoyed it and look forward to catching up at the next club night.

Lastly, we extend a very big thank you for the support from Srecko and his team, and all our members who assisted on the night.

Phillip Island Story: Linley Baxter Photos: Ron Widdison

I took the opportunity to participate at Phillip Island from the relative comfort of entrée class. I really enjoyed mixing it with mostly new comers to club sprints and seeing how they enjoyed the day. I know one of them, Guy Lavoipierre, really enjoyed himself showing great speed and finesse. There is no doubt that Guy was looking up, looking a long way ahead, looking through the corners to scribe near perfect lines and displaying responsible overtaking, the product of seeing events a long way ahead and being able to plan.

On the day we had an unfortunate accident between two vehicles, although fortunately no one was injured. It really made me reflect on the aspect of looking ahead. During the event I observed others who seemed more than a little surprised as unexpected events unfolded in front of them. Humans are programmed to look down.

Try it for yourself. From a standing position as you commence moving forward quickly you will find your eyes drop to the ground immediately in front of you, checking for immediate hazards. We are very well adapted to walking pace. We are not so well adapted to the more elevated speeds experienced with driving, particularly driving on track.

On your next track day make it your goal to look up, look through the corners and look a long way ahead on the straights. You will be more comfortable, safer and most likely faster.

PCV was honoured with the presence of some pretty special motorsport talent. New member, 1998 Bathurst 12hr class winner, and more recently front runner in the 944 Challenge John Morriss took his Cup Car to outright fastest Porsche on the day. I am sure he was looking up!

I’m also sure some other cup car luminaries are wondering where to look now that John has arrived on the scene.

With this year’s Bathurst 12 hour only a week away we were also honoured that Erebus

PORSCHE PARADE

Motorsport chose our sprint day for a shakedown of their new star recruit 17 year old Austin Cindrik from America. I think he justified their faith lapping the menacing AMG SLS GT3 racer a full three seconds quicker than anyone else. I am sure he too was looking up!

It was so nice to see a Ferrari adding colour to our day. The spectacular matt black 458 Challenge in the hands of Wayne Mack. Perhaps Wayne can encourage a few more Ferraris to join him at our events in the future.

The lure of the incomparable Phillip Island Grand Prix Track saw 5 interstate entrants join us, 4 from South Australia and one from NSW. It was wonderful to see them and we hope we can welcome them to future events.

The proliferation of classes means that I cannot reasonably comment on the results in all classes.

However after a few years absence from these events I am seeing some pretty spectacular times.

There is no doubt that all the placegetters were looking up.

PORSCHE PARADE

ISSUE 1, 2016

Not the usual start to a Run, as days before an email went out with a request from the Maldon Hotel for lunch ‘pre-orders’ for main and dessert. Luckily we had time to ponder the fine selection, of local organic lamb, not so local salmon, grass fed porterhouse steak, or organic goats cheese salad, and four dessert options. With the important lunch selection made, the Hotel would then hand out a colour coded card representing your choice…we looked forward to this innovative solution.

With most of morning tea consumed, our Station Master called for boarding the historic train and carriages. With old fashioned tickets (no Myki) allocated for First Class carriage, we chose this option for the ride up to Castlemaine.

Times have changed…amazing fit out and period décor in these carriages, with pictures of a bygone era of Victorian tourist destinations, we easily felt the relaxation of First Class travel first hand. Also to assist was a full service bar on board, a luxury easily received.

On Run day, our meeting time and place seemed somewhat familiar, BP McDonalds Rockbank, (at this point we are not aware of any Hot Apple Pie kickbacks from Ronald McDonald…), but logistically Rockbank suits as an accessible point from Melbourne and Bellarine with plenty of parking, fuel and morning beverage options.

On the journey to Castlemaine, a very young but equally enthusiastic staff member was super keen to highlight the period fit outs in carriage, from fold out beds, cupboards, fold down wash sinks, hooks, use of windows, and much more…great to hear youth passionate about history. Once she finished her brief with us, there was no stopping her finding the next guest. With the weather calling for windows to be opened, some found the right moment to view the train and carriage from the outside, which was equally as impressive, although no Puffing Billy moments with feet and arms out in First Class. Upon arriving in Castlemaine we had a short stop to watch the locomotive change ends (I’m sure there’s a railway term for that).

With Run notes handed out, it was time to commence the briefing noting Porsche friendly roads had been selected, as well as providing a welcome and introduction to our new members.

The drive certainly lived up to expectations with an enjoyable Run through to Maldon Railway station. Here we sampled a fine selection of morning tea options thanks to the Maldon Vintage Machinery Museum staff.

PARADE

The return journey had us in Second Class, which we were fortunate to share in good

conversation with fellow members, making the return journey a great experience, not only from being on the Historic train but also good times shared with fellow members.

Upon return to Maldon, the Hotel was only a short stroll from the Station, with a refreshing drink in hand, the intriguing ticket system for lunch started to unravel. The secret turned out to be coloured Post It notes, with each meal option representing a different colour Post It note, even steak choice of rare, med, and well done was covered.

With Hotel staff well versed in colour and meal choice, lunch was soon served.

After lunch the raffle took centre stage, and with the assistance of our new members, 6 bottles of wine found new homes to our lucky members.

With 110 in attendance and surveys highlighting members enjoyed the experience, we are hoping that next year may see PCV members ‘back on the wagon’…in the Historic Goldfields.

Finally a big thanks to Felix for organising the Run, and capturing the moments with his camera in hand.

An in-depth look at: The 16 Porsches Jerry Seinfeld is selling on Amelia Island If you are a fan of Porsche, and you’ve been anywhere near the internet in the last month, it’s unlikely that you haven’t heard about the upcoming Seinfeld collection grouping of cars coming up for auction at the Gooding & Co. Amelia Island sale later this week. Many sites have shown you the list of cars, but no other site out there is showing you the in-depth behind-thescenes of each Porsche in the lot list. So here we go, a car-by-car dissection of the cars Jerry is selling this week. Gooding & Co. have set the preauction estimate for the entire Seinfeld collection between $25 and $32+ Million US Dollars. If you want one, you’d better warm up your bidding paddle hand now!

Lot 031 - 1966 Porsche 911 (Est. $200,000 - 300,000) r fo S l d 00 U o S ,0 75 $2

repute, who is as enthusiastic as his tastes are eclectic. More importantly, he has been shepherd to many significant Porsches over the years, including a number of 356 racing cars, and most recently the one-and-only 901 Cabriolet prototype. Vernis recently had this to say about the car: “An amazing, low mileage survivor, it’s every bit as nice as it appears in the photos.”

Vernis then moved the car on to Seinfeld’s ownership in 2005. To this day, the 911 features fewer than 19,000 miles, and is a ‘survivor’ in the truest sense of the word. The 911 retains original paint, interior, glass, rubber trim, the correct numbered engine, and original May 1966 date-coded wheels. Also included with the sale is a proper jack, tool roll, and operator’s manual.

For a 911 this nice, the price honestly seems just a little on the low side. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this one a bit over the $300,000 high estimate.

Lot 032 - 2011 Porsche 911 (997) Speedster (Est. $300,000 - 400,000) r fo S l d 00 U o S 0,0 4 $4

Chassis: 304182 Engine: 907419 Everything about this 911 screams originality. It’s been through five owners, and each of them has taken better care of this time-capsule car than the last. Every inch of this car is preserved as it was in the middle-1960s, from the really important bits like the running gear and paint down to the less important, but no less impressive original interior components and window seals.

This 911 was originally imported through Porsche Car Southwest in San Antonio, Texas, and sold through Vern Hagestad Motor Co., a VW-Porsche dealership located on West Colfax Avenue in Denver, Colorado. The original owner was James E. Pickens. It is thanks to Mr. Pickens that the car remains in such good condition, as he owned the car until the early 1980s and took impressive care to keep the car as original as possible.

When Pickens finally sold the car on in 1983, it was purchased by Porsche nut and high-level enthusiast, Mr. Tom Scott, a fellow Coloradan.

Mr. Scott knew immediately that the car was highly original, and entered it in three consecutive Porsche Parade concours from 1984 to 1986, winning both ‘Best in Class’ and ‘Best in Division’ each time it was shown.

Scott sold the car to Dr. William E. Jackson, also hailing from Denver, and known for his exceptional taste in Porsches. At the height of his Porsche collection, Dr. Jackson had several examples telling Porsche’s history, and this car was among them. For 8 years, this astoundingly original 1966 911 sat among 4-cam Spyders and Turbo Terrors and even a rare Gmünd Coupe.

In 1999, Dr. Jackson moved this gorgeous Sand Beige car into the ownership of Mr. Myron Vernis of Akron, OH. Vernis is a collector of some 48

I’ve never really had much love for the 997 generation Speedster. Sure it was a lowproduction car, and it had some pretty unique parts, but underneath the questionably pretty bodywork, this is essentially a normal Carrera GTS. My personal tastes aside, this is a rare and desirable car in the market these days, and have been trading for much more than the original purchase price pretty much since production ended. It was among the priciest 997 generation cars ever sold, and makes for a great addition to a collection, especially when sat next to a 356 Speedster, an 89 Carrera Speedster, and a 964 Speedster.

This car has been a part of the Seinfeld collection since new, five years ago, and features only 4,844 miles on the odometer. This car looks just like it is brand new, and has a whole lot of interesting bits included. This 997 Speedster is number 009 of the 356 examples produced and one of just 100 imported for the US market.

According to the factory window sticker, which is included with the sale, this Speedster was specified with Porsche Exclusive Customization Packages DZM and DZP and is finished in Pure Blue, a color developed specifically for the Speedster and the only shade available on the model other than white. This car also features a few Seinfeld-specific bits that Porsche included for the actor/comedian, like the GT2 RS-style bare carbon front trunk lid and copious bare carbon interior trim bits. This is a unique piece with a unique story.

Lot 034 - 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder (Est. $5,000,000 - 6,000,000) r fo US l d 000 o S 5, ,33 $5

Chassis: 550-0060 Engine: 90063 Transmission: 10051 This might be the world’s most original 550 Spyder, featuring matching numbers and just over 10,000 original miles from new in 1955 (an average of only 164 miles per year!), and having only passed through four owners in all that time. This is a truly unique opportunity to buy a completely correct iteration of one of Porsche’s most iconic sports cars, and should be treated as such. This car is quite valuable, and the fact that it has never been used as a racing car makes it all the more unique.

This 550 was produced in the summer of 1955, painted blue with white tail stripes, and trimmed in beige vinyl. The car was fitted at the factory with engine 90063, a typ-547 Fuhrmann four-cam, and a four-speed transaxle numbered 10051, and then test-driven by Herr Mimler before being delivered to the US. The original owner isn’t known, in fact not much of the car’s history is known prior to 1963, but from then on, the car has only passed through three highly reputable hands.

1963 was when Lou Hilton picked up the car at a used car lot in Worcester, Mass, and added it to his stable of cars.

While little is known about the Spyder’s first few years, in the early 1960s a young car enthusiast named Lou Hilton discovered the blue Porsche on a used-car lot in Worcester, Massachusetts, and added it to his growing stable. Hilton owned planes and assembled a small personal collection of European automobiles that included a Bugatti Type 57C Stelvio, a BMW 507, and a MercedesBenz 300 SL Gullwing, among others. The 550 Spyder, however, was among the crown jewels of his collection. During his ownership, the 550 was repainted in its original colors, likely in the late 1960s.

The second owner, Joel Horvitz of Massachusetts, was a longtime collector and founding member of the 356 Registry. Horvitz was among the many Porsche enthusiasts who admired and longed to own Mr. Hilton’s 550 Spyder. He had purchased his first four-cam powered car some 20 years earlier, and had spent nearly 20 years searching for a 550 to call his own when 550-0060 came into his collection.

It was in 1998, after actively pursuing the car for

many years, that Horvitz managed to convince Hilton to sell him his prized Spyder.

In an article published in Hemmings Sports & Exotic magazine, Joel’s son Brian describes his father’s love for 550-0060 and his particular appreciation for the car’s authentic character.

“Since he bought his first 356 in the early ’70s, my father had a number of very special cars; however, none represented his passion for collecting as completely as his Spyder,” Brian Horvitz said. “He had been after this very car since 1981, and realized his dreams in 1998. He knew that he wanted a Spyder, but I tend to think that no other Spyder would have done. This is not a pristine concours vehicle – the paint is cracked, the upholstery isn’t perfect. What it has is that palpable feeling of history. You stand next to it and you imagine yourself at the factory in 1955 watching the car being assembled.”

Mr. Horvitz, sadly succumbed to the effects of cancer in 2006, and in early 2007 Jerry, with the help of Alex Finigan [Paul Russell and Company], acquired the 550 Spyder from Mr. Horvitz’s estate. Mr. Finigan, who has known and helped maintain 550-0060 since the mid-1970s, is among the car’s many admirers. When the car arrived in Mr. Seinfeld’s collection, it had covered just 9,896 miles from new. Over the past nine years it has accrued less than 500 additional miles and benefited from attentive care and maintenance in the hands of two respected Porsche specialists – Joe Cavaglieri and Adrian Gang. During its time in the Seinfeld Collection, the Spyder has been exhibited on rare occasions.

In 2009, it was featured in the Porsche Exhibition Hall at the Los Angeles Auto Show, and in 2012 it was loaned to Porsche for a special display in Pebble Beach during the Concours weekend.

Today, the car remains in exceptionally original condition, wearing its decades-old blue paint and retaining its wonderful, well-preserved upholstery – a special ribbed vinyl material with a patina and character that would be impossible to duplicate. The elemental cockpit features the correct banjo steering wheel and three large VDO gauges, with their elegant and distinctive green typeface. Under the front compartment one finds the patinated aluminum fuel tank, with original felt under the securing straps and a VDO sending unit dated February 1955. In the engine bay, the matching-numbers engine and transaxle are present, as is the original chassis number stamping and rarely seen Karosserie Wendler Reutlingen body tag. In each and every area of the Spyder magnificent details abound, from the proper horsehair weather stripping to the cracked white paint of the tail stripes.

It is extremely rare to find a 550 with this kind of originality. Many of these cars have had body damage, blown an engine, or suffered some other kind of racing-related damage. Aside from the ages old repaint, this car is essentially in as-used condition over all these years. This might be the only one left in this kind of shape, making it highly desirable among collectors and possibly even Porsche. The price is among the highest I’ve ever seen for a 550 Spyder, but would not be out of sorts for a car of this caliber.

Lot 035 - 1957 Porsche 356A Speedster (Est. $500,000 - 600,000) or d f 0 US l So 2,00 8 $6

Chassis: 83124 Engine: 64919 This Speedster was imported through Hoffman Motors, as most 356s were at the time, and was used for many years by the second owner in California. The second owner acquired the car in nearly new condition as a used car in 1958, and used the car regularly for nearly two decades.

After 20 years of hard use, the Speedster was put away until 2009 mothballed in storage. In 2009, the owner of the car called Tom Scott (yes, the same Tom Scott) to see if he would like to purchase the car. Scott worked a deal and the car became his.

It didn’t take long for Scott to start restoring the car to concours quality. Taking the car down to metal, and then repainting the car in original aquamarine blue was a great decision, as the car looks pristine these days. The car was recreated to original specs by a number of excellent shops, with Victor Miles handling the rechroming, North Hollywood Speedometer redoing the gauges, and Auto Weave handling the upholstery, top, side curtains, and carpets. The car was completed in time for the Porsche Parade Concours in 2010, where it received First In Class honors in the 356 class, and Best of Show in the ‘Restoration’ group. Beyond that, the car received 299.3 points, which remains a record for most points earned by a restored car.

Mr. Seinfeld purchased the car from Tom Scott after the concours win later in 2010. Today, the car retains its original matching-numbers engine, stamped body panels, as well as early 1957 date-coded components such as the fuel tank, VDO sending unit, and Sudrad wheels. It is offered with a concours-quality tool kit, jack, and handbook set, including the owner’s manual, supplemental Speedster driver’s manual, and Reutter and Porsche coachwork pamphlets. A Porsche Certificate of Authenticity and a copy of the original factory Kardex also accompany the sale.

Lot 036 - 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 RSR IROC “Revson” (Est. $1,200,000 1,500,000) or S d f 00 U l So 0,0 ,31 $2

Chassis: 911 460 0016 Engine: 6840034 This IROC Porsche is one of only 15 built for the 1974 season of racing, and was raced in-period by Peter Revson, Cale Yarborough, Gordon Johncock, George Follmer, Elliot ForbesRobinson, and Milt Minter. The car features a well

documented history and a provenance unlike any other. The car is beautifully restored, consistently well maintained, and believe it or not, retains full road legal registration.

Created specifically for Roger Penske’s genius IROC series, this RSR was used by 12 of the top drivers from four main disciplines of racing: Peter Revson, Emerson Fittipaldi, and Denis Hulme from Formula 1; Mark Donohue and George Follmer from SCCA; Bobby Unser, A.J. Foyt, Gordon Johncock, and Roger McCluskey from USAC; and Richard Petty, Bobby Allison, and David Pearson from NASCAR. Penske was already in good standing with Porsche, having won a couple of SCCA Can Am championships in 917s, so he and star driver Mark Donohue worked to develop this IROC iteration of Porsches RSR (essentially a hybrid of 1973’s 2.8 RSR and 1974’s 3.0 RSR, using parts from both).

This car is the earliest chassis number of all the IROC RSRs, and was originally fitted with engine #6840021 (no longer with the car). After the RSR served its time in the IROC championship, the car was sold to Grey Egerton for use in a number of Trans Am and IMSA GT races throughout the 74 and 75 seasons under the Pharr Yarns team name. The car won an IMSA race at Laguna Seca, and featured well in a number of other races, grabbing a few podiums and class wins along the way. After the car had served its life as a racer, Egerton sold it to famed SoCal dealer Vasek Polak.

Polak fitted the car with an earlier 2.8 liter engine, but unfortunately the car served most of its time with Vasek in static storage. It wasn’t until Vasek’s death in 1997 that the car was resurrected from Polak’s storage rooms by the next owner, Tom Linton. Linton immediately set about restoring the car to its original Yellow IROC RSR livery, and the car was taken down to bare metal. The fenders had been widened to regular 3.0 RSR spec while in Egerton’s care, but the original tub was intact and most of the sheetmetal was as original. The engine currently fitted to the car was originally in the Sahara Beige IROC RSR, as the original engine is whereabouts unknown. Linton competed in Rennsport I and II with RSR 911 460 0016.

In 2005, Mr. Seinfeld purchased the car and continued its use both on street and track. Over the years, the car has been maintained well by the incomparable Adrian Gang. It is possible that this was the first IROC RSR built, as well as the first 3.0 liter 911 built, and has significant driver history, making this a unique collector piece.

Chassis: WP0EB0915KS173287 Engine: 64K05848 This is an extremely low-mile Speedster, with only about 3,800 miles on the chassis. This Grand Prix White beauty could be one of the bestpreserved Carrera Speedsters remaining, and could be an excellent addition to any collection.

Everything about it screams classic from the low cut windshield to the wide Turbo-look bodywork, making the Carrera Speedster a dearly held piece among Porsche fanatics. As noted in the original owner’s manual, the Porsche was delivered to George Follmer Porsche in Montclair, California, and sold to original owners Richard and Linda Daniel. Jerry Seinfeld purchased the Speedster in 2013 with approximately 3,400 miles on the odometer and has enjoyed the Porsche sparingly since.

Believed to retain its original paint and interior and presenting essentially as a new car, this Speedster is equipped with desirable options such as a limited-slip differential, electric sport seats, Blaupunkt Reno cassette player, and a luggage compartment in place of the rear seats.

This particular Speedster is not equipped with the optional, and common, air-conditioning, which reduces weight and improves the aesthetics of the engine compartment. The Porsche’s factoryapplied VIN stickers are visible throughout and underline the highly authentic presentation that comes from decades of careful stewardship.

Factory documentation originally delivered with this Speedster remains with the car, including manuals and the original Speedster supplement, along with an accompanying letter to Speedster owners from Porsche Cars North America. Also included are the original tool kit, space-saver spare tire, and its corresponding air pump.

World Sports Prototype Challenge series for the 1990 and 1991 seasons. The rear bodywork is much different from what you normally expect to see on a 962, and instead of the integrated rear wing, this car features a much larger separate rear wing, which creates a lot more downforce than the earlier cars, which were optimized for streamlined top speeds. Other changes for 1990 included higher output engines, and improved radiator flow guides. Joest was the de facto factory-supported team after the factory ‘officially’ withdrew from competition following the 1988 season, making this one of the best prepared 962Cs in the world at the time.

This car was sponsored by Blaupunkt and campaigned as Joest Racing’s primary car for the 1990 season, with former Porsche works team member Bob Wollek and German F3 champion Frank Jelinski as its drivers. According to Joest Racing’s records, 962-012 raced in all nine rounds of the 1990 World Sports-Prototype Championship season; its best result was a 4th Place finish at Silverstone. At the end of the season, Joest Racing placed 5th in the team championship standings, with 8.5 points, while 962-012’s drivers, Wollek and Jelinski, tied for 13th in the drivers’ championship.

In 1991, 962-012 participated in the European Interserie Cup with Sachs sponsorship. In three of these four Interserie outings, the 962C was driven by “John Winter” – the pseudonym often used by German businessman and racer Louis Krages, who had been part of the Joest Racing Team during its victories at Le Mans in 1985 and Daytona in 1991.

In 2001, while part of Joest Racing’s private collection, 962-012 was restored to as-new condition and fitted with the famous Singerdeveloped Doppelflügel and revised bodywork.

Five years later, Jerry Seinfeld acquired 962-012 directly from Joest Racing. Over the past decade, the 962C has been carefully maintained by Joe Cavaglieri and has seen only occasional track use during private outings at Willow Springs Raceway.

This is your chance to own what is likely one of the fastest and highly developed 962s in private hands. This would make an excellent vintage racer, and would make a good effort of cleaning up the class at a Monterey Historics event, especially if you were to hire a hotshoe factory racer to do the driving for you.

This late production 962 was built for Joest Racing to campaign in a joint Interserie and FIA PORSCHE

For a few years after, the car floated around Europe with a few undocumented short-term owners, or so it is believed, before transferring to the US and into the ownership of famed Porsche collector and racer, Mr. Grady Clay. At the time, Mr. Clay also owned a number of significant Porsches, including a 904, an RS60, a Carrera 2 Cab, numerous 911s, and a handful of spare four-cam engines.

In 1986, Mr. Clay sold this Carrera 2 to Robert Pass of St. Louis, and the car was then acquired

by Richard Freshman of Los Angeles, California.

Invoices in the car’s file prove that the engine and transaxle were overhauled by famed fourcam specialist Bill Doyle of Rennwagen Motor Company. In 2002, the car was sold, along with Freshman’s other cars and rare parts at auction, and moved into the collection of a Swiss Porsche enthusiast. From there, the Porsche was exported to the UK, where it was an integral part of two prominent private collections and benefited from maintenance by leading specialists Jim Stokes Workshops Ltd. and DK Engineering.

In 2008, the Carrera 2 was acquired by Cavallino Holdings, and over the next few years was serviced by Canepa in Scotts Valley, California.

Since joining The Jerry Seinfeld Collection, the Carrera 2 has enjoyed regular exercise and care.

According to an invoice on file, it was carefully detailed and mechanically sorted by Southern California 356 specialist Jim Rinker.

This car features many of the best options for a 2 liter Carrera at the time, including the Sport II “Sebring” exhaust with matching rear muffler skirt, large long-range fuel tank with external filler, KPZ-style riveted steel-center-aluminumbarrel competition wheels, aluminum doors and lids, a number light mounted on the passenger’s door, GT bucket racing seats, a roll bar, and Nardi steering wheel. This has got to be one of the most exciting and fun-to-drive 356 models ever produced, and with only perhaps 24 356s fitted with the 587/2 engine, this is a highly rare opportunity to purchase.

year later, and the car was returned to the factory for upgrade to the new style engine. This chassis was originally fitted with a Typ 587/1 engine (number 97175) that produced 130 horsepower, but Porsche had just introduced the Typ 587/2 engine that made use of 160 horses. Porsche removed an engine from one of their 904 prototypes (904-003) and installed it into the back of Mr. Politzer’s Carrera 2. Only 33 examples of the 587/2 engine are believed to have been built, but I can only imagine how much fun it would be in the back of a 356.

PARADE

This 356 is the ultimate iteration of the chassis, featuring one of the best engines Porsche produced at the time, and certainly one of the most exciting engines Porsche has ever produced. This Carrera 2 was equipped from new with silver paint, blue interior, lightweight aluminum doors, plexi windows, and a 741/20A transaxle. The car was originally finished in late 1962 and sold through D’Ieteren Frères to a Belgian by the name of Politzer. Not just over a

Chassis: 9R3/M 001 Beginning life as an engine destined for Formula 1, the V10 that eventually found its way into the Carrera GT production car was truly a racingbased piece. After the Porsche V10 for Footwork Formula 1 proved to be less than successful,

Porsche moved the engine into a potential early 2000s attack at LMP racing. The project died for a number of reasons, which you can read about more in-depth here. After the LMP2000 project was killed off, the engine sat around the race shop waiting for something to go in. It was only a few years later when Porsche realized it would be perfect for a production supercar While Dr. Wiedeking did not initially support Porsche’s new race car program, he wasn’t blind to the competitive nature of the production car business, and when it became apparent that there would be a slate of new sports cars coming from rivals at Aston Martin and MercedesBenz, among others, Dr. Wiedeking took action.

Porsche decided to build a top-line sports car, and its engineers were given no restrictions in its development as long as the vehicle demonstrated the design and engineering might that made Porsche such a fabled marque.

While no currently existing parts were mandated for use in the Carrera GT design, one of the first decisions made was to integrate the V-10 engine from the LMP 2000 car into the new model, a logical choice given that much of the competition department for Porsche was now working on the car’s development.

Two Carrera GT prototypes were built, both relying heavily on Porsche’s racing parts bin.

Suspension components and the gearbox from the GT1-98 were mated to the V-10 engine and a space frame was built out of high-strength aluminum. Porsche installed 15 carbon ceramic brakes behind newly designed, center-lock, aluminum 19″ and 20″ wheels wearing 265 and 335 section-width Michelin Pilot Sport tires. Though intended solely as a concept car, Porsche wanted it to appear as production-ready as possible; therefore, power steering and ABS braking systems were adapted to fit.

The styling of Porsche’s new supercar was assigned to a team headed by Harm Lagaay.

His task was made difficult by Porsche’s diverse offerings, which didn’t give a clear direction for the exterior design of such an important car – one that would be placed at the top of the model range. “Our brand is not identified by any distinct element such as a radiator grille,” he remarked at the time, “so its personality derives from the way we design the details and handle the surfaces.” Both Porsche’s newly opened Los Angeles-based US design studio and the German styling department were given two days to sketch concepts that would express the qualities necessary for the new Carrera GT. The winning design had to express the extreme aerodynamic and technical requirements of the project while looking as much like a member of the Porsche family as possible. The results can only be described in superlatives, and it is safe to say that the Carrera GT hasn’t aged a day in the 15 years since the design’s birth.

Jerry Seinfeld, who was fortunate enough to purchase this piece of Porsche history directly from the company in January 2007, is the car’s sole private owner. Understanding the Prototype’s significance and admiring the unique story of its development, this car has remained on display with the rest of Mr. Seinfeld’s remarkable collection of vehicles.

Mr. Seinfeld recalls, “I was able to acquire this car with the help of Grant Larson, who poured his life into the design. This is the only existing prototype of the Carrera GT. Walter Röhrl drove it down

the Champs-Élysées at 6 am on September 28, 2000, on his way to the Paris Auto Show. The ultimate tribute to one of the greatest Porsches ever.”

Importantly, before the car was sold to Mr. Seinfeld, Porsche removed the ECU from the Prototype’s engine-management system, and therefore the car has been, and remains, undrivable. Please note that the buyer of this car must, as a condition of purchase, agree to certain special undertakings and other terms and conditions which include, among others, that the car may not be driven and that any future sale by such buyer is subject to a right of first refusal in favor of Porsche. Each bidder on this car is strongly encouraged before bidding to review these special terms and conditions, which are available from any Gooding sales specialist prior to or at the auction, or at the Gooding office at the auction.

Chassis: WP0ZZZ99ZVS398070 Engine: 62P85712 Delivered new to Mizwa Motors, the Japanese Porsche distributor, this RSR was built in early 1997 specifically for the Japanese market, though it was constructed to European specification. As such, the RSR was equipped with the M64/75 engine designed for endurance racing and rated at 340 bhp. This highly tuned 3.8-liter racing engine featured a resonance intake system, six intake plenums with separate throttle valves, a different camshaft profile, and no catalytic converters. Like most RSRs equipped with this engine, this Porsche was specified with the type M50/34 close-ratio six-speed transaxle.

Originally finished in Firnweiss (Snow White), the RSR was purposefully equipped with a Premier 75-liter fuel cell, Matter roll-cage, Recaro racing bucket seats, Sabelt harnesses, and MOMO steering wheel, along with an integrated fire system and air jacks.

This RSR remains one of the only of its kind to never have entered any kind of competition, and remains more or less in as-delivered condition, and shows only about 3,700 miles on the odometer. As you can expect of such a low-mile car, this 3.8 RSR features its original engine, making it quite desirable among collectors.

The Cup 3.8 RSR remained in Japan until it was acquired through a German broker and imported it into the US under the EPA’s racing exclusion for Mr. Seinfeld’s use. This is an extremely rare iteration of an extremely desirable car that was never offered for use in the United States, making it even more rare still on these shores.

Lot 042 - 1958 Porsche 597 Jagdwagen (Est. $350,000 - 425,000) or d f 0 US l So 0,00 3 $3

Following WWII, Germany was heavily demilitarized, but by 1954 was ready to become a more active member of the NATO alliance; thus, the Federal Army needed a transport vehicle.

Borgward, Auto Union, and Porsche all entered proposals; Porsche’s Type 597 employed an industrial-spec variant of the proven, and robust, 356 engine, and it utilized four-wheel drive and a stamped steel monocoque chassis for increased rigidity and buoyancy. Though the contract was offered instead to DKW’s Munga, Porsche chose to produce the Type 597 for consumer use under the name Jagdwagen; ‘Hunter’s car’.

Only 71 Jagdwagen were produced, and only about 15 of them are thought to still exist, making them quite rare beasts. This is one of the latest production Jagdwagen, and was delivered new to Wendell Fletcher of Pasadena, CA. Fletcher, owner of Fletcher Aviation, and sponsor of Porsche’s Carrera Panamericana Hans Herrmann/550 Spyder effort, received the car in conjunction with his position as Porsche’s North American distributor of industrial engines.

Though unrelated to the Jagdwagen, Wendell flew his personal plane the length of the Mexican road race in order to supply the factory race team with parts they needed during the event.

In 1987, at the ripe old age of 92, Fletcher decided to sell his Jagdwagen, moving it on to Porsche authority Prescott Kelley. In 1998, Kelley sold the 597 to Cal Turner III, and bought it back from him in 2005. In 2010, Mr. Seinfeld took ownership from Kelley. As it sits, the off-road machine has only traversed 24,000 kilometers from new, and remains absolutely original, still retaining its original vinyl seat covers, fabric top and side curtains. Quite possibly the most original and nicest kept Jagdwagen of the 15 still remaining on the planet.

At the end of the 2011 racing season, Brumos Racing won the Grand-Am Championship – a credit to the inherent abilities of the 997 GT3 Cup and the efforts of team drivers Leh Keen and Andrew Davis. To commemorate this accomplishment, Brumos made an arrangement with Porsche to offer the last five US-spec 2012 GT3 Cup cars exclusively as Brumos Commemorative Editions. The factory-built racing cars were meticulously prepared by Porsche ISSUE 1, 2016

51

Motorsports North America to match the unique specification used by Brumos for the previous year’s assault on the Grand-Am championship.

Changes included increasing the engine capacity to 4.0 liters from the 3.8 liters of the standard car, a Motec data acquisition system with steering and wheel sensors, and a throttle blipping system to help with cleaner downshifts.

All five cars were finished in the classic Brumos livery of white with blue and red stripes, along with details that mirrored the 2011 championshipwinning car and special graphics denoting the commemorative model itself.

Jerry Seinfeld purchased this car directly from Brumos Porsche as soon as he heard that the special-edition Cup car would be made available to private owners. A testament to the special nature of these vehicles, Brumos hosted a gala dinner on September 20, 2012, for the five new owners at the team’s racing facility in Jacksonville, Florida. Hosted by Brumos Vice President Hurley Haywood and driver Leh Keen, the event was used to present the cars to their respective owners and give each of them a full introduction to the model’s unique features.

This limited-edition four-liter GT3 Cup was driven by Jerry Seinfeld at a private track day at Willows Spring Raceway in California and has approximately 1 to 1.5 hours of running time on it from new. The Porsche was recently serviced, is accompanied by its factory operations manual, and is ready for a new steward to enjoy its fantastic appearance and performance.

Lot 044 - 1973 Porsche 917/30 Can-Am Spyder (Est. $5,000,000 - 7,000,000) or S d f 00 U l So 0,0 ,00 $3

Chassis: 917/30-004 This 917/30 is among the pantheon of iconic Porsche racing cars, and deservedly so. In 1973, Porsche and Penske Racing were busy dominating the SCCA’s Can Am series. I’m sure you know the story of the 917/30, so I won’t bore you with the details, but this car helped cement Porsche as a world power, and essentially ended Can Am as a series because it was so dominant. This exact car was actually sold as part of the Matt Drendel collection in 2012 following Matt’s untimely death, which is when Seinfeld purchased the 12-cylinder turbo monster for a bargain price of only $4.4 million.

This chassis, #004, was among the last 917/30s produced. The car was built with the intention of running it in the 1974 season, but unfortunately the rules changes for that season would eliminate the 917/30 from contention (mandating at least 2.74 miles per gallon in a 200 mile race, which couldn’t conceivably be achieved without making the car far too slow). With dreams of 1974 Can Am domination now dead, Porsche sold the chassis to Alan Hamilton, an Australian Porsche importer, who kept the car in his showroom in Melbourne. The car remained in Australia until 1991, occasionally being used for historic races for that period, until it was returned to Stuttgart when Porsche bought out all of the independent Australian dealerships. In Porsche’s care, the previously all-white car was restored and given Penske’s familiar 1973 Sunoco livery.

PORSCHE PARADE 52

Porsche used the 917/30 as a show car at events like the Old Timer Grand Prix, and kept the car until 1994, at which point it was sold to American collector David Morse. Prior to the sale, Porsche used their last remaining 917 engine case to give the car a fresh engine rebuild. Upon arrival in the US, Morse set about restoring the 917 properly, and it made its debut in fresh restoration at the 1998 Monterey Historics.

In 2001, Morse sold the car to Matt Drendel where it resided among a couple dozen other significant Porsche race and street cars, most of them turbocharged. His first order of business was to display the car at Rennsport Reunion I in July of 2001. Drendel sadly died in 2010, and his entire collection was auctioned off at Ameila Island just four short years ago. This car, at the time, set the record for most expensive Porsche ever sold at auction (which has since been more than doubled). It is safe to say that when it sells this week, it should easily eclipse its 2012 value.

Chassis: WP0AC2968RS480403 Engine: 61R00895 Only three private owners have held the keys to this Flachbau, and driven it only just over 12,500 miles since new. Add those facts with the statistic of only 76 such 964 Turbo 3.6 S Flachbau cars built, and you’ve got a recipe for high-dollar auction action.

The X85 Flachbau presented here, chassis no.

480403, is believed to be the sole example originally finished in Polar Silver Metallic. As evidenced by its factory production codes, this car was originally optioned with driver’s seat four-way electrical lumbar support, sunroof, 18″ polished three-piece Speedline wheels, wheel caps with the Porsche crest, and draped Classic Grey leather upholstery. According to Mark Smith’s comprehensive Flachbau registry, this car originally commanded a staggering $164,866 MSRP. Completed on December 3, 1993, this Turbo S was sold new through Brumos Porsche and delivered to its first owner, Dr. Randall Riegler of Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, in February 1994. It is believed that Dr. Riegler retained the Porsche for over two decades and drove it sparingly, finally selling the car in spring 2014. Jerry Seinfeld acquired the Flachbau from a discerning Southern California-based collection, and it has been an important part of the Seinfeld stable since.

This Porsche Exclusive-built Turbo S presents in as-new condition, showing just 12,545 miles at the time of cataloguing. As would be expected of a well-kept, low-mileage example, this car remains in outstanding original order and is accompanied by its tool roll, air compressor, and handbook folio, including the owner’s manual, radio manual, dealer directory, and the warranty and customer information book.

Lot 046 - 1958 Porsche 356A 1500 Carrera GS/GT Speedster (Est. $2,000,000 2,500,000) or S d f 00 U l So 0,0 ,54 $1

Chassis: 84908 Engine: 91015 If you haven’t figured it out by now, I’m something of a four-cam fanatic, and this could be one of the most desirable iterations of Carrera ever produced. This Carrera Speedster GS/GT was completed in May 1958, and has been a stunner ever since.

The Typ 692/0 four-cam engine in this car (a late production Hirth roller-bearing crank version) is original to the car, though the car is not original to the engine. The engine originally installed in this car, no. 91015, was first installed in another GS/GT Speedster, chassis 84912, sold new to amateur racer Leo Levine. Shortly after taking delivery of his Carrera Speedster, Mr. Levine requested that the Speedster’s four cam be replaced with a pushrod 1600 Super; the Speedster’s 692/0 engine was then placed in 84908 prior to its delivery. The type 692 is essentially identical to the earlier 547 engines, though updated to the V-drive type distributor to make timing a slightly less difficult affair.

This is the only known Carrera Speedster to have been finished in Auratium Green, and one of only 13 Speedsters (regardless of type) to feature the color option. As was common with many GT-specification Carreras, this car was sold to its first owner through the Porsche factory rather than through a distributor. While little is known of the Carrera Speedster’s early history, it is believed that the Porsche was exported to the US and subsequently raced in the Midwest through the 1960s and into the early 1970s.

About 6 years ago, Nick Clemence, proprietor of European Collectibles in Costa Mesa, California, purchased the Speedster in unrestored condition through a broker who represented the car’s longterm owner. In a letter from European Collectibles provided to Gooding & Company, Mr. Clemence described the condition of 84908 when it arrived at his shop in California.

“When I purchased the Speedster the engine was out and in pieces. The body was together, floors were weak and needed to be replaced and the battery box needed replacement as well. The usual dings and dents but the Speedster was mostly complete.”

Over the next three years, European Collectibles performed a ground-up restoration, with the intention of returning the Carrera Speedster to original spec. According to Mr. Clemence, no expense was spared in the restoration, and having seen the work they do with my own eyes, I believe that to be the case. Rare OEM and new old stock components were used whenever possible and prominent four cam specialist Bill Doyle of the Rennwagen Motor Company, just around the corner from European Collectibles, was hired to rebuild the engine. Taken down to the metal and carefully prepared, the bodywork

was then repainted in Kardex-proven Auratium Green and the interior trimmed in black vinyl.

Befitting the car’s original spec, this Carrera Speedster was generously equipped with all the best period accessories including auxiliary fog lights, a Spyder mirror, sport exhaust, and GT roll bar finished in matching paint.

Completed in 2012, the Carrera Speedster made its post-restoration debut at the 24th Annual Dana Point Concours d’Elegance hosted by the 356 Club of Southern California. Judged in the highly competitive Full Concours category, 84908 achieved a remarkable 298.6 score (out of 300) and earned First in Class honors – a testament to the accuracy and quality of the car’s presentation. That August, the Carrera Speedster was displayed in Carmel Valley, California, at the Quail Motorsports Gathering, where it was selected as Best in Class from a field of 59 postwar sports cars.

Acquired by Jerry Seinfeld in late 2012, the 1500 GS/GT Carrera Speedster has been a prized fixture in the collection ever since. Though it has been regularly exercised and enjoyed on weekend drives, it remains in exquisite concours-quality condition in all respects, and has benefited from further attention by noted four-cam specialist Adrian Gang.

Significantly, the hood and deck lid are both stamped with the last three digits of the chassis number (908) and the engine type and serial number stampings (692/0 and 91015, respectively) match the factory records. As would be expected of an award-winning show car, this Carrera Speedster is offered with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, copy of the factory Kardex, tool roll, jack, and handbook set, which includes a 356 A owner’s manual, Speedster driver’s manual, and supplement for cars with the 1500 Carrera engine.

Lot 048 - 1959 Porsche 718 RSK (Est. $3,800,000 - 4,200,000)

horsepower Typ 547 engine sure didn’t hurt.

This particular car saw a lot of action here in the United States in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and was driven by the legendary Roger Penske in almost every race it ever competed, racking up an impressive list of victories along the way.

Built, as all race cars were, in Porsche’s legendary Werk 1, 718-019 was built to the specification of privateer RSK, and fitted with a Typ 547/3 four-cam engine (number 90211), finished in silver with polished steel-center wheels, and fitted with Continental racing tires.

Porsche’s factory records indicate that it was shipped stateside from the outset, and likely was sold new to Harry Blanchard for use in the 1959 season of SCCA racing. Blanchard presumably used the car for only a handful of races, including the SCCA National at VIR, the SCCA National at Bridgehampton, and the USAC race at Lime Rock Park throughout May and June of that year. By the end of June, supremely talented racer Roger Penske was placed in the car and had taken it to the June Sprints at Road Atlanta, already taking a podium. Penske, only 22 years old at the time, owned the car through the end of the 1960 season, and made quite a name for himself and the car.

In January 1960, Harry Blanchard was killed in an accident at Buenos Aires, while driving another Porsche Spyder, and ownership of 718-019 transferred to Roger. The 1960 SCCA season proved to be a tremendous success for Penske as he won that year’s F-Modified Championship, thanks in large part to his victories behind the wheel of 718-019. In 1960 alone, Penske and his RSK captured class or overall wins in more than 10 race outings.

Shortly after the 1960 season, Penske sold the 718 RSK to a college buddy of his, fellow SCCA driver/car dealer, Lake Underwood. During his ownership of 718-019, Underwood captured an overall win at Vineland in the modified race.

Following a several-year absence from racing, the

r fo US l d 000 o S 0, ,86 $2

Chassis: 718-019 Engine: 90322 One of only 34 of its kind, this Type 718 RSK Spyder is one of the most beautiful iterations of Porsche’s Spyder line. Essentially a Formula 2 car with closed fenders and a pair of seats, this RSK was a top-level racing sports car in its day, and could take down much more powerful cars with its handling prowess and high cornering speeds.

A dry weight of 1168 pounds was responsible for much of the car’s success, but the 140

RSK reappeared in California, where Bob Jones of Jones Racing Enterprises entered the Spyder throughout the late 1960s in races at Laguna Seca, Vacaville, Cotati, and Sears Point.

In 1970, John Beam, an amateur racer in the San Francisco Bay Area, purchased and then modified the RSK. At the time, the car was just another old race car, so Beam set about installing fiberglass fender flares, wide wheels, a full-width roll bar, and an 1,800 cc pushrod engine in place of the

more complicated four-cam piece. Refinished in green with bright orange trim, the 11-year-old Porsche Spyder was entered in an SCCA race at Riverside, where it was seen competing against more modern 906s and 910s. Later that year, 718-019 caught fire in Beam’s garage, damaging the aluminum bodywork and ending its decadelong racing career.

From there, the RSK passed to Rudy Klein, who then sold it in 1974 to Harry Haggard of Palos Verdes Estates, California. Mr. Haggard, who also owned an RS60 and a 904, decided to restore the RSK as a road car, enlisting Dave Kent’s Creative Car Craft and Don Borth to repair the bodywork. By 1986, Haggard’s dream of making 718-019 street legal had petered out; the car was sold to California Porsche enthusiast Dirk Layer, who in turn sold the car to collector and vintage racer Tom Trabue of Columbia, Missouri.

Lots of ownership changes occurred, and it’s somewhat difficult to follow sometimes. Again, even then the car was viewed as just another old race car that was well past its prime.

Finally, in 1993, Trabue decided to turn his attention to the RSK project and commissioned noted restorer and fabricator Joe Cavaglieri to make the car like new again. Though the restoration was a challenge, necessitating the fabrication of new aluminum bodywork and extensive frame repairs, the process was aided by the use of factory blueprints and access to a very original 718 Spyder. After several years, Mr. Cavaglieri’s efforts resulted in one of the finest and most accurate restorations ever carried out on an RSK. Once completed, Mr. Trabue campaigned 718-019 in vintage races, including the Monterey Historics. The car remained in Trabue’s care until 2000, when he sold to famed Los Angeles collector Otis Chandler.

Chandler didn’t hang on to 718-019 for very long, as it then joined the Jerry Seinfeld Collection in 2001. In the fall of 2003, Mr. Seinfeld entered the RSK in the Colorado Grand, the grueling 1,000-mile high elevation blast through the Rocky Mountains. In 2014, the Spyder was loaned to Porsche Cars North America for a media event held at Laguna Seca, and later was exhibited at the Concours on the Avenue in Carmel-by-theSea. Most recently, 718-019 was featured in an episode of Mr. Seinfeld’s Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, the one with Kevin Hart.

718-019 presents as a stunning example of a period-correct four-cam Spyder and is well known and respected among knowledgeable marque specialists. Driven in period by the legendary Roger Penske, this RSK went on to compile an enviable competition record, racing at major North American venues for over a decade.

Its impressive racing pedigree, outstanding restoration by Joe Cavaglieri, and eligibility for leading historic events around the world make this a Porsche that is worthy of any collector’s attention. Will this car actually sell for 4 million dollars? I remain unconvinced, but only time will tell.

The auction begins this Friday, March 11th at 11:00 AM eastern time, and can be live-streamed on Goodingco.com free of charge. For those in Florida for the Amelia Island festivities, you can attend the beachfront auction for a $30 fee.

Run to The Tool Shed Bistro, Noojee Mid Week Run Wednesday 16th March 2016

Usually I would be disappointed when a job falls through but I must admit I was quietly relieved when notified a potential Wednesday gig wasn’t happening. Excited - BDO here I come!

would have melted in my hand bag. Did I mention he has a sexy new steering wheel? I digress.

Others treated themselves to fresh muffins and desserts.

Our day began at Hahndorf’s Chocolate Cafe in Upper Ferntree Fully, not Adelaide, unless you were Dean who had already done 2 hours from Sunbury in his 2015 Agate Grey 981 Cayman.

A short briefing followed morning tea. Newly crowned owner of a magnificent Carmine Red 2015 981 Cayman GTS Garry declared he was owed a beer for having a run note error highlighted to him. The group wasn’t exactly sure how that worked but he was our Captain so we just accepted it. Straight/left at a roundaboutwhatever. The group stood in stony silence after Garry asked for a volunteer to write the article.

We resembled a bunch of first home buyers at a Toorak auction. Some looking at their phones, some staring off into space, some drilling holes into the ground with their peepers but ALL avoiding eye contact with our run organiser. Alas, we were a pride of Porsche enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the beginning of the year’s first Big Day Out. I was apprehensive to volunteer since I didn’t have a passenger and usually instruct them to take notes as well as navigate. However the excruciating stalling of our departure had to be brought to an end so I put my hand up to scribe.

Lois chimed that she would “help” with a glass of wine. Meeting over – to your vehicles drivers!

Mid Week Runs always bring out an impressive array of Porsches. Quite frankly how you can’t have an impressive array of Porsches is nigh on impossible. By this I mean it resembles a fractionated Social Run. Like a Christmas family gathering, every year, make and model of the Porsche lineage may be spotted. It was hard

Why wouldn’t you? I would have put in an extra couple of hundred kilometres in that machine at sleep’s expense too. Chocoholics Unite! Gutes Deutsche Schokolade Ja! Is there a German theme to the day? Karen and her efficient staff brought us fine coffee and teas accompanied with delectable chocolate samples. I devoured a smooth and velvety 70% dark chocolate. I would have saved it for later but there is a strict no food or drink policy in Dietfried - my Black 1990 964. Bottled water is allowed but it has to be in a plastic bag. Additionally, the forecast was for a sunny 30 degrees so the chocolate

to miss Wayne and Lindsay’s new Speed Yellow 981 Boxster GTS passing me on route to the rendezvous point. Wayne later convincingly expressed his satisfaction with the beast testifying to its vast step up in many aspects from his past toys. 6s and 7s were in numbers including Brett’s 997 black beauty. Dietfried’s siblings were present too. James brought his Horizon Blue 964 whilst Ron’s White 964 made up the triplets. The remaining German Motoring Monarchy present (22 cars in total) was dotted with 911s, 991s & 986 Boxsters. A couple of foreigners attended the day. Mental picture – awkward Christmas Lunch guest. Tas and Marlene brought their 2009 Astra Twin Top (at least it was black) and Michael and Kris decided to test drive their 2013 Sonic Blue Toyota FT86.

Sonic Boom might be more apt. If you were behind it while Michael was hitting 7000rpm you’d understand.

Only 3km in and I already felt like I was on a country drive. It didn’t take too long to be

surrounded by green pastures, cows and fields of veggie crops. One problem, I had managed to let a Subaru Impreza get in front of me as I pulled out of the carpark and unfortunately got stuck following it for the first 10kms or so. Call me a purist but when I go on a Porsche Run I want to only follow and be followed by Porsches. It adds to the view. After all, that’s part of the satisfaction of being a clubbie. Following an Impreza is not that Imprezive. Into the next Subaru free part of the run, the peloton had broken away. I was in a small breakaway of 5. Elephant Rock at 32.7 km was literally a stand out. Bright paint contrasted with black graffiti to add character to the “marker”. Dorper lambs were on sale at 42km. Maybe Malcolm and Lynn in the Silver 1977 911 2.7 Targa pulled out of the pack to let us through at 44km, or turn back to pick up a bargain lamb? I don’t think it was to soak up the distinct smell of fertiliser & Eau de Dairy Farm in the not so fresh country air. Some 10 kms of interesting roads and sneaky turn offs reduced our splinter group to 3. Entering the M1 caused concern for Justin. He pulled over his 1968 Dark Metallic Green 911L to confer with the driver of car number 2 – Riccardo in his 2000 Black 986 Boxster S. A few words to clarify we were on the right route we continued onward.

After 20kms on the freeway and no toilet stop at Sands Rd (aptly named after the construction works occurring at the intersection produced a fine sand storm) the run took on a new life. We had caught a few club members. Ignoring the 2nd error on the run notes at 99km eg straight at the Neerim South sign not right as the diagram instructed, led us onto more twisting asphalt.

Just as things were getting fun we literally had to put the brakes on for Old Sale Rd (110km).

“Old”- YES! So much so we had to stop for lollipop man construction worker for a short time and then proceed SLOWLY along gravel

and/ or roads with loose stones. Ho Hum. Is that the sound of paint being chipped off Dietfried??

Stephen and his 2008 Seal Grey 987 Boxster weren’t overly impressed either. 10 minutes of Vic Roads finest finally saw the end of sub standard and the beginning of the best part of the day. Approximately 30kms of beautiful scenery accented with shimmering lakes and stunning sunshine pouring through tall trees onto green ferns complimented winding roads. The tight turns detracted from our quiet ascent. So too did the log truck that brought nearly the whole run group together. We all patiently drove behind the mammoth machine while it plodded its way through the hills. Ron was heading our group and decided his 964 had had enough. Uncannily so did the lorry. Just as Ron went to overtake the truck turned right. Good for Ron not T-boning it.

Time to challenge our driving prowess once again. Steep descents and curving roads made for adrenaline pumping motoring. A refreshing breeze perfumed with the flora’s aroma swept over the glistening automobiles as they serpentined through the geography, kicking up twigs and larger branches.

After 172.4km of almost incident free touring nearly all of us arrived at The Tool Shed Bistro in Noojee. Yannick was still probably waiting for the RACV with Graeme after their 1969 Yellow 911S ran out of brakes somewhere near the 100km mark. Garry was a little disappointed I parked “incorrectly” for his car park photo.

Still, the frame would showcase John’s 2000 Metallic Midnight Blue 986 Boxster S, Neil’s 2013 991Carrera 4S and Peter’s 1984 911 3.2. Two hours on the road can work up an appetite and thirst especially if you happen to be Lois who apparently talked the entire way as navigator for Alison in her Blue 911 S. To their credit they only missed one turn. Women Represent! Harvey the resident dog greeted us at the door of the metal establishment run

by ex St Kilda Di Stasio restauranteurs, Barb and John. Good thing Manager George sold an extensive range of beverages to pair with our anticipated lunch. The Whites included a “very nice” De Bertoli Chardonnay, Willow Glen Moscato and Barossa Sauvignon Blanc. A few of the lads were partaking in the De Bertoli Shiraz Cabernet and the usual beer suspects eg Mountain Goat, Cascade, Carlton etc. Ian, driver of the 2015 981 Silver Boxster GTS and I were on the hard stuff – lemon, lime and bitters. It did go particularly well with my flavoursome grilled barramundi. The Mexican Parma has been voted #1 in Gippsland and #3 in Victoria however the Beef and Guinness Pie was popular as attested to by Kevin, proud owner of a 2004 Silver 997. The menu was quite comprehensive – burgers, roasts, salads, curries – catering for vegetarian, gluten free and vegan diners.

After about an hour of recapping the days adventure participants started to depart. Robert pointed out to me his 2002 Arctic Silver 3.2 996 number plate GD911 means Grand Dad but his grandkids call him “GD”. Surely you haven’t been a grand dad for 14 years Rob? Next time I’ll drink what you’re drinking!

John and Pauline had quite a long drive home ahead of them in the comfort of their 2009 Grey 987 Cayman S. I managed to botch up the run notes for the home route and made my journey home via Woop Woop. Never mind, the weather was stunning, rural Victoria had put on another spectacular day even Umbria would be envious of and PCV provided me with another thoroughly enjoyable outing.

What a great way to start the Grand Prix weekend off! Anyone got a complimentary ticket for an amateur author?

Dalyston Run Modern 911 Register Sunday 28th February 2016

to meet the other participants and introduced ourselves to Geoff and his wife Barbara, and Jeff and his wife Barbara, the day’s organisers.

We were given a folder of briefing notes and the penny started to drop; “We have to navigate as well as drive.” I was glad Sandra was accompanying me. She however was beginning to have hesitations regarding her new role as navigator.

In early February this year, I registered for the Dalyston Run, it was our first run with the Porsche Club and we were keen and excited by the opportunity to take our car out for a social day.

As the date approached, Geoff Mould, the register’s Captain, contacted me and asked if I would be willing to write a report on the run. My initial thoughts were “It’s my first run. What do I know?” I then realised that it would be a great opportunity to give other “first time” runners an insight into what to expect on a day out with the club.

So on a mild last Sunday in February, my wife Sandra and I arrived at McDonalds Mulgrave at 9.00am for the Porsche Modern 911 Dalyston Run. On arrival we noticed an impressive line of Porsches parked in the car park. We went inside 56

PARADE

The general advice from other participants was to be careful, do not assume the car in front of you knows where they are going. If you blindly follow them, you may both get lost. Another very good piece of advice; set your trip odometer to zero at the beginning of the run.

Geoff then welcomed all participants, gave a briefing and set the tone for an enjoyable days run.

We began at 9.30am with some participants wisely delaying their departure while they continued to examine their notes. In ignorance, we started our car and left the car park, second in line. Sandra was deeply studying the notes and turned on her phone’s GPS while I turned on the car’s navigation system. Luckily the first stretch of road went for 27 kms before we had to make a turn at Emerald, so we started to relax.

I set my eyes on the Porsche ahead and was feeling reasonably confidant. At the next traffic lights, however, we were in the outside lane and before we knew it, we’d passed the only Porsche ahead of us. We were now the trailblazers. I looked in the mirror and there was only one Porsche behind us. All the other Porsches, it seemed, were still a few minutes behind. Luckily the notes not only indicated distance to the next turn but the type of turn and the reading on the trip odometer. The notes became even more important as our car’s navigation system had taken a liking to Narre Warren and would not move on, even though we were approaching Emerald (hmmm) and the phone’s GPS was sometimes losing its signal!

We got through Emerald and the roads started to become a bit more twisty and enjoyable. We were still limited to a local speed limit of 80 kph, which was not a problem as we weren’t yet in a situation to travel any faster. We started to check off the turn points and found we were exactly coordinated with the note’s distances down to 0.1 kilometers. At 95.1kms of driving, we arrived at Caldermeade for Devonshire Tea.

As we approached the last 2 kilometres we caught up to Nigel and Hamish who had just slowed down as the Porsche in front of them had taken a right hand turn, one turn too early!

Hamish must have warned his Dad not to follow.

We also thought the other Porsche had taken the wrong turn and so we passed Nigel and so they followed us. In about another kilometre we both arrived at the lunch venue.

While we were having lunch we complimented Geoff and Jeff on their briefing notes. It made for a great drive. In talking to Geoff, Sandra and I discovered just how much goes into organizing the day. They carefully plan the route, book the venues and then check the distances, driving it to confirm it meets expectation and there are no closed roads, road works etc. A week prior an independent check is done by another club member to confirm all instructions.

The lunch venue, The Old Dalyston Deli, was at an old converted church in Dalyston, where we enjoyed homemade pizza, a hefty main course and a delicious desert. Overall, it was a great day, with great people, on great roads with great cars. We recommend it to all.

I suddenly had the thought that perhaps we had to take photos as well as write the article.

There was no Felix on this run! Out came the mobile phone and I started snapping photos as participants arrived. Geoff Mould soon reassured me that he was the photographer for the day.

During the break, I spoke to Jane, she was driving on her own, so without a navigator, Jane had a challenge on her hands; at one point she found herself in the lead of a group with no idea where she was going. She pulled over to let others cars pass her to which they thought she had broken down and went to pull over to help.

I also spoke to Nigel who explained to me that he had been on the Club Summer Run to Maldon only one week earlier. It was a much bigger event (about 120 cars compared to our run of 13 cars). His wife had decided not to attend this run given it was only a week since her last and so Nigel’s son Hamish volunteered to join his dad. Great – I must remember that if Sandra ever declines – ask my son Sam. It would be a good bonding experience.

Devonshire Tea consumed and off we went on the next leg of the run, more relaxed with navigation and once again we zeroed our trip odometer.

This time we were slower starting our car, which allowed us to follow two other Porsches. Quickly the roads started to become narrow and twisty with no obvious speed limitations other than the state limit. Good fun.

Unfortunately we got behind a car with a boat trailer while the other Porsches ahead passed it before the roads narrowed. We had to wait until it was safe to pass. We did and now had the open road ahead. The twisty roads were fantastic especially with my recently fitted sports exhaust system blaring out its tune and in no time we had covered the next 50 kilometres.

Run to Tooborac Hotel Mid 911 Register 28th February 2016

The Mid 911 Register organised a run to the Tooborac Hotel and Brewery for Sunday 28 February, and in keeping with modern tradition the meeting place was a Macca’s in the northern suburbs. The franchise provides good coffee, seating under cover and facilities preparatory to a couple of hours on the road. The first part of the run is the very familiar greeting of friends (“I think that is X in the white SC”), filling part of the car park with exquisite machinery and an open air briefing.

The carpark had a nice collection of G series and 964s including a number of Targas that were going to enjoy fine weather, and a 964 with a silver paint with a subtle purple tint (tho the colour plate says silver). There was also a sprinkling of 993s and mid engines.

The route wound out through Arthur’s Creek and St Andrews area to Kinglake. The roads were tight and twisty, fun to drive, requiring concentration on the surface and traffic with a significant population of Sunday bicycles. This is the area devastated by the 2009 fires. It is poignant to think of those times, to see the recovery of the landscape and infrastructure and to reflect on a number of drives and activities the Club has conducted since that time in that landscape.

PARADE

From Kinglake we passed through the sweeping courses of the Murrindindi, Yea and Trawool districts and up the Gap climb to Broadford. We passed the Broadford State Motorcycle Centre, scene of the September sprints, well worth a visit, and quite close to the city.

Unusually for a run there was no ‘morning coffee’ facility, instead of which we stopped at the park for a comfort stop and a chat. Ken asked for feedback on the change, and from my perspective it was nice to have to not deal with a queue for coffee before being able to sit down with fellow members. This was a more casual stand around and talk about cars, meet new members, talk about the cars (!) and enjoy the sunshine. It felt quite relaxed, and I would support the occasional repeat. It will be interesting to see what the feedback said.

The run from Broadford to Toobey was a

contrast, with open country side, good roads, long corners and straights and a convoy of cars. Very enjoyable and quite different to the switchbacks of the approach to Kinglake.

Lunch at the Toobey Hotel was in a reserved area out the back of the pub, with what I felt was a good quality repast. The conversation flowed well, time enough for the meal and a raffle with 6 lucky winners taking away a bottle of fine Victorian red or white.

One of the quiet contributors to such a good run is in car harmony, and a special thank you to Ken and Harriet for the layout and for the check run.

Check runs are members who contribute their time to test drive a run before the day, making sure the directions are easy to follow and don’t contain the (inevitable) small and annoying errors.

Run to Trentham Boxster & Cayman Register Sunday 24th January 2016 The weather was not perfect for a Boxster run, being overcast and slightly threatening, but it did slowly improve and by day’s end some had managed to lower their roof. We had a good turn up with 30 people in 16 cars and for a change of pace, we met at the service centre on the Geelong Road near Avalon.

It didn’t take us long to find ourselves cruising through the Lara area and past the prisons on the Bacchus Marsh Road to the country roads of Anakie and Steiglitz. From here we made our way towards Ballan and then Mt. Egerton, ending up for morning tea in Gordon. Our destination here was Care Bear Sweets Cafe on the main drag.

This is a new business but quite unique. Set in an old church (great stained glass windows etc.) the secret to success was the freshly baked produce which went down a treat and is already well regarded in the area.

After morning tea we headed out of town towards Wallace and then a series of country towns (blink and you’ll miss Pootilla) wending our way to Daylesford. From there we headed to Malmsbury, Lauriston, Kyneton and Tylden. Before long we headed into Trentham and parked behind or next to the “The Plough” restaurant in what used to be the Trentham Hotel.

We were there a little early so some of us took the opportunity to look at some of the local touristy shops. The Red Beard Bakery produces their own sour dough bread baked in a wood fired oven which “The Age” touted as the best in Victoria. My favourite however is Phillip & Lea who cater for (and I’ll use their description) “a retailer of implements and tools for the aspiring and dedicated cook, gardener, hunter & forager, baker & pastissier, charcutiere & salumi maker and preserver.” Some of those I’ll never use but they have some of the most robust and unique

gardening tools and knives you’ll ever come across.

But lunch awaited and the food was simply delicious and so filling. We started with shared antipasto platters for entree, followed by alternate serves of Panko crumbed chicken breasts with 26 hour slow cooked steak. We finished the meal with alternate serves of caramel and chocolate based desserts. I had the chicken which was delicious and Ken Anson assures me the steak was one of the best he’d ever had.

By now the weather was warm and sunny and I noticed many, myself included, had dropped their roof as we headed home. As always the Boxster / Cayman register had a well attended run where good roads, good company, good food and a sense of camaraderie had combined to make a really pleasant and successful day.

Equity-One Mortgage Fund Limited (ACN 106 720 941 and AFSL No. 277318) is the issuer of the Equity-One Mortgage Fund Product Disclosure Statement (â&#x20AC;?PDSâ&#x20AC;?) dated 1 March 2011. Investment in the Equity-One Mortgage Fund (ARSN 115 289 579) can only be made by completing the application form that is in or accompanies the PDS. Any person seeking to invest should consider the PDS before deciding whether to invest. To obtain a copy of the PDS please contact Equity-One on 9602 3477. This product is not a bank deposit.

Interests in the Equity-One Mortgage Fund do not have a credit rating. You should seek independent financial advice and consider your own objectives, financial situation and needs prior to making an investment. * Following the fixed 1 year period the investment will either be repaid by the borrower or extended for a further period with the approval of the investor.
