That is shameless Porn
But Beautyful, and I'd jump her seat, just to watch her smoke.

When I see this I know there is a God. Needles to say, my man parts moved!

Look at me, I'm a crazy banana!

Teutonic porn at that! Note sophisticated tire cradle mechanisms.

thanks for sharing....I'll keep these cars in mind tonight when I buy my California MegaMillion Lotto ticket...sure could buy a few nice cars with $163,000,000

darn... thanks for the reminder that I'm not going to Essen (again) this year
You really had to rub it in, didn't ya, John?

I'll take a blue one with a pretty orange stripe

WTF- why are they on wooden blocks?

910 is one of my favorites.

I was wondering that too, then I noticed they're only on the back so maybe it's to let people get a better view of the rear?

Quite the sassy chassis.

found more P-pics from the Techno Classica, Essen















and this one makes me wonder ...
it looks like 914.1.43.0139 - the '71 Monte Carlo car #7 (Waldegård/Thorszelius)
but AFAIK this car was wrecked by the factory on November 15, 1972 ...
so, is this a replica







I'll find out and let you know

You people are terrible! When me and my new squeeze were having ..., I was closing my eyes and cheating on her in my mind last night. Hey, I'd pick up my beer in that red Porsche tractor any day man!

Sorry baby, I don't call you porkkkschhhhee!

So what's the answer? Why the cradles under the rear tires?

Try this:

Porsche Tractor

This is probably the same tractor, owned by Peter of Porsche Club in Essen.

Taken at last years 914International in Essen (its 4MB)

Richard

Forgive me... I know the 914s, the 911s, 917s, 928s, 924s, 944s, 959s...and the new stuff... Otherwise, I'm pretty much clueless

What's that silver, open top model with the peculiar front "opening" that straight ahead on the far side, of the first pic?? Its purrrrdy

Got any more pics of that one?

What is that thing in the middle with the pinched nose??
CCLIN????

Probably because it's all one needs to look underneath since noone can cross the bariers and walk around the cars. It would also give a better view of the front of the cars since one has to view from a distance. If this dosen't work for ya then perhaps the floor is poored in a slope and it would make the cars seem like they are pointing upwards. Then they could have placed the cars front to the audience and the rears would have been nonvisible. These are just possible explinations but I truely believe that the have some wierd shmit in their drinking water.

I was about to ask the same thing

Yep, it must be the shmit. But the other possibilities work too.

What time this year is the 914 International in Essen? Hell, any 914 meeting in Europe will do. I just got over to Germany and am still waiting for the 914. I can't wait to get it out on the road here.

It may be an INT but has a 5L air cooled power plant and tractor Fusch rims. It takes corners like a 914 with a share cropped appeal.

Would that be an Elva?

It almost reminds me of a Pooper, but the front end looks too pinched. With all those other cars having the proper Porsche DNA, I would be surprised that a "mongrel" would be allowed in the "inner circle"

Its in Barcelona this year. May 20th and 21st.

I'm driving down from Amsterdam in a 914/6 via western France to meet up with some other cars. Then back afterwards via central/eastern France.

PM me if you want more details.

Richard

So exactly what is it that we are looking at? A museum, an annual event? Where is there more info? If it's an event it could be a reason to make my next trip to Europe at the same time of year.

Nope not an Elva....



Here's the "Pooper"

The yellow 904 looks sweet...

o.k. - here's the solution - at least to the 914-6 GT mystery

it's an exact replik of 914.1.43.0139 and belongs to a member of the Porsche 914-6 Club Germany

here are more pics

Yeah. I would say all of those cars are spongeworthy.

Cooper Monaco.......there's a radiator in that nose.

looks very similar, but slightly different

Cooper T61 "Monaco"





Gustl

I haven't got a pic of the original 2.5L Climax engined Monaco around any where. Yours in the pics have been hacked by us Americans for SCCA pro, USRRC & CAN-AM.....tho the first one is pretty close shape wise. I think that is what we called the King Cobra......mit Ford power.

I saw em' run....tho it was a long time ago and my memory is foggy....along with the Climax engine Lotus 19 back in the early 60s at Kent......when drivers were fat & tires were skinny.

Best I can do quickly.

Wolfgang,

Is that Armin's GT replica? He did one or two of the Monte cars for customers I think?

I don't remember them ever putting Porsche power in a Cooper...it is great looking.

I know someone put a Porsche powerplant into a Devin as well.

Peter,
I don't know yet if Armin built this clone ... but it was my first thought, too
I will find out and let you know - it might take a little time
I just know that Armin doesn't own the car


914.1.43.0139 was destroyed by the factory in 1972
914.1.43.0140 was converted to the famous ONS Firetruck - unfortunately I don't know where the car currently is - I heared a rumor that the current owner tends to restore it to the original '71 Monte Carlo specification ...
914.1.43.0141 was restored by Armin (and his team):

o.k. - I'm not so sure if this detail is an exact copy of the original

George Follmer won the USRRC in a Porsche powered Lotus 23.

Someone dumb like me earlier asked "what is Essen?" A city? A museum? Ferdinand's garage?
How about an answer, or did I miss it?
