I saw this photograph on a German auction site of a Porsche 356 with a perspex bubble cockpit and thought it was pretty cool. Does anybody know more about it? I'm pretty sure that if it had been more "winning" we would have seen the image on a poster though.

It has been a "minute" but good Porsche books have not been incoming to my mailbox in more recent times. Maybe a lull in the publishing industry? In any case, just reviewed this interesting one for Porsche Club of America.  Entitled Porsche Special Editions and written by serial author Matt Stone, it details the myriad limited and special edition Porsche cars that have been produced by Porsche over the years, as well as by a few different tuners and manufacturers. Well laid out, it was informative while being an easy read.  In more germane news, I should have some more...

It has been a long while since I've posted, but just received this unusual 356 cutaway. Measuring 28" x 20", this poster was evidentially produced by Zims Autotechnic in the late 1980s or early 1990s as a promotional piece. Printed on slightly heavier stock than the original produced by Porsche, it is a nice and less costly alternative. No production info printed on poster, but there is a (removable) Zims sticker.

Excited to say I recently had another opportunity to write for Porsche Club of America's highly regarded Panorama magazine for the May 2023 issue. The topic was the 1973 Targa Florio victory poster. If you're a PCA member, you should be getting your issue shortly.

Recently had the pleasure of reviewing Brun 1966-2009 from publisher Sportfahrer-zentrale for Porsche Club of America. Founded by enthusiast and businessman Walter Brun, Brun Motorsports had considerable success on the track in various racing disciplines including touring car, the World Sportswear Championship, and Le Mans while even dipping a toe into Formula 1. This well-produced book chronicles all the highs and lows of an incredible time in motorsport. Check my review out here!
