I'll bet Poorsche914 can help if you decide to redo. They're cool art!

BOT...(Back on track) Are the cars and speeds of today just too much for a 914 to compete in the 24 hour now??

What about Sebring 12 hour or other big races today?

Bill,
Thanks for the mention. I was just thinking about PMing URY about doing some of these. Let's see what we can work out.

They are nice. I'm a graphic designer by trade myself, so that's saying something; I'm kind of a snob that way. :-)

It's a bit confusing what they are going for, with the translation and stuff. .. maybe $90?

Nathan,

We should team up and make some of our own and undercut him. I know his shipping cost to the US are at least $20/order.

That's the hurdle right there, posters cost a lot to print, or I should say large format printers are really pricey. I can only go to 13" by whatever on mine. Would cost around $50 to get something printed poster sized like from here
https://www.megaprint.com/order2/largeformat_order.php

Other issue is quality. Best case scenario, with the original negative 35mm film, the car filling the picture, you get a 914 35mm wide x 24mm tall, scanned at 3000dpi max, printed out at 300 dpi, you get a final output at good resolution of 13" wide x 10"highfor the car. You could stretch it to 150dpi and get a good sized car but it would be grainy.

Large format camera and film scanner, anyone?
