As every yeat I visited the Oldtimer Fair in Salzburg. That's the biggest one in the west of Austria. This year's special topic was "60 years Porsche" - so I hoped that it would be a cool event.

1st hall showed pretty much bling-bling cars


the one and only prototype car of a Maserati Kyalami 4.9 Spyder

there was an Oldtimer Rallye as a side event

the license plate says all
you'd need pretty much money for such things

I'm betting the Speedster has a re-paint. That thing is way to slick looking for original paint BMW is SWEET ! Thanks for the pics

Some excellent example's of Porsche cars!
my alltime fav is the *959* thankyou for
the pic's

yepp - it was an original rust free CA car that was imported to Austria more than 10 years ago
had a damage on the passenger's front end and got a ground up restoration

Gustl

Wow, thank you Gustl for the nice pictures!

Are you planning to go to the international 914 meeting in Bad Honnef next year Gustl?

Thanks for thr Pics Wolfgang.

hmmmm ... currently I don't know anything about this meeting ???
is there any info on the web?

Great pics; thanks for sharing

I was intrigued by this too so I went searching. There's a small mention on the German 914 owners cub site, but it doesn't appear to go into any detail, although my German isn't so good these days (I only remember carburettor, brake fluid, wiper blade and beer....).

Here are the links I found:

Where in Salzburg was this? We were just there a few weeks ago. Many of the Porsches look like the vehicles from the museum in Stuttgart.

You would hope that for that kind of money that they could at least manage to fit the licence plate on straight!

Seriously though, those are some beautiful cars. Many thanks for the pictures.

Alastair.

many thanks - sounds interesting

but really far away from my place ... the online route planer says more than 7 hrs

not sure that I'll be there

it's every year at the same place - the Messezentrum Salzburg / salzburg arena

it's in the north of Salzburg and has a seperate exit at the Autobahn

more infos here

most of the diplayed Porsche cars are from private owners from Austria and Germany

Gustl

Really? 7 hrs? I'm surprised. I thought in Austria you would be closer.
Google maps tells me it's only 8 hrs 33 min from my house - and I live 2 hrs north of London.
I guess Europe is bigger than I thought!

Not sure if I'll be there yet. I'd love to go as I missed out on this years 914 International in Switzerland, due to business commitments. However my 914 is currently off the road awaiting some spare time - and spare cash.
Currently I'm short on both counts!

A

absolutely ... when I did the 1st PPI for my /6 I had to drive more than 8hrs in one direction

I still get tiered when thinking about this day

That is a trip half way up California for me. Bring your driving shoes when you come to the New World.

great pics!!!!

here's another cool car

one of only 3 built Porsche 910/8 (8 cyl, 285 HP, 600 kg)
this one is the winner of the European 1966 Hillclimb Championship

Thanks for the pictures of Stirling Moss' 904. And the 3.0CSL- two of the sexiest cars ever to to put rubber to tarmac. I sometimes pass a 3.0CS slowly rotting away in a field near where I live and it's a sad end for so beautiful a car. Has anyone ever seen/got a picture of Stirling Moss and that 904? He was an idol of mine when I was a kid and I got to meet him at Lime Rock. Of course, he turned out to be a very neat guy.
