interesting article i stumbled over from porsche newsroom.

https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2020/compan...usen-20840.html


of esoteric interest to 74 1.8 owners. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
looks like dr. h. marchart's silver 1.8 up the back of the carpark where the staff put their cars? a couple of 911s there too but can see someone else on the payroll might have been rolling a Golf GTI. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
(of course dr. marchart had the go fast euro 1.8 with twin carbs and a blistering 85hp available to his right foor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) )

he left the car to the P museum. kept it in pretty good condition - i don't think its been restored. maybe just cleaned up thoroughly but still original.
the man being considered one of the fathers of the boxster had a real soft spot for the 914 and in its most humble form too.

and also of esoteric interest to all long serving NARPs and NARPIES.
original sales order for a 1949 porsche 356.
might be #1 order form.
they just used a VW sales order stationary and crossed out VW.

does that make a 356 a VW/Porsche? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
1949 the year of the original NARP? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
