It's timeless. On the left of the weld is original 550 Spyder aluminum from 54-55, on the right is brand new aluminum, hard to tell a difference!

Like all auto manufacturers, Porsche built....and continues to build cars for profit .....not posterity. The race cars were built for a purpose.....to win. They had no idea that fifty, seveny years on, their creations would be so coveted. They inadvertaintly gave all of us a passion and some a profession. Steel, aluminum, titanium ? used as necessary. |

The Factory sure spent years not coveting the early cars. Here is Porsche #1 languishing behind the Factory in the 70's. Attached image(s) |
