We picked up this neat print of an early Porsche car that looks like a precursor to a 550 Spyder. The print is about 16 x 20. It is going to be a new piece of shop art.
Note the covered passenger area and the drivers windscreen. The gut we got if from said he got it in 1965 and that only 12 car were built like this. The print is titled Porsche Spyder with four overhead camshafts. Anyone seen a car like it or know any history of them? Bruce Attached thumbnail(s)

Not a precursor, that is a 550 Spyder. The cover and single windscreen was the racing setup. Back then, race cars were just road cars with extra bits thrown out to lighten them a bit. As for 'only 12' maybe he meant the print. Or maybe only 12 550s came from the factory with the racing setup. Or maybe he's just blowing smoke. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
