First off, sorry for quiet period from me on here. Rather trying to keep things together, we have about the Worlds worst covid stats right now here in Chile, and things are pretty grim. Combine that with winter (or shortest day, today, in fact) and things are quite dismal.
But, a pandemic never stopped a little man maths. Attached is the strads new garage mate (not my garage, in the pic, unfortunately, but both my cars as of last week).
1961 Porsche 356B T5 Coupe, Super 90 version. All original numbers match, and I'm only the third owner in its incredible 60 years. The car has been really well enjoyed, I bought it from a mate who's family it has been in for 50 years. It's going to be thoroughly thrashed for a while, and then returned to its original dark blue and a full restoration, hopefully most of which will be done in my home workshop (that I have yet to build!).
I've always liked beetles, my first 3 cars, and this feels so simple, yet special at the same time. Amazingly, quite fast too. If the whole world starts working again, it might even not be such a bad investment.
(stands back and cringes at eventual boo's from maser fans)
