Brutus is soon on its way to Paris for the retro automobile extravaganza and will be featured in the auction there. Some lucky person or organization will be the new owner
https://www.retromobile.com Here are some interesting facts provided by its present owner: The folowing are some important dates of history for the documentation of Brutus : Original service date per Kraftfahrzeugbrief is February 11. 1971 with registration license LEO ZC1 Brutus was owned by Porsche and driven by Corina Piesch until the car was sold on April 29, 1974 to Colonel Robert E. Hartvigsen for 27,500 DM Brutus remained in Germany with Colonel Hartvigsen and was returned to the Porsche factory in late 1977 for a engine and transmission rebuild together with suspension rebuild and other repairs . An 5 page Porsche factory invoice dated January 19, 1978 outlines the factory rebuild at a total cost of 12,649 DM. It is believed that in April 1978 Brutus was exported by the Colonel( who had been discharged from the military with the completion of his duty ) to America . The importation and registration documentation would indicate that on June 23 1978 application was submitted for importation approval to the Department of Transportation in Washington DC USA. The approval was granted and the first American registration was granted in October 1978. Brutus remained with the Colonel until his passing and was then stored for many years before being purchased and completely restored by the current owner. Brutus has been displayed at Amelia Island Concours Porsche Noth America Headquarters Atlanta Ga Petersen Museum Special Porsche Collection Los Angeles , California Feature story in Porsche Panorama Magazine |
