The concept was that in the instant you had to glance at the tach the needle wouldn't be wobbling all over the place. It would tell you -...
Does anyone know where the tool might be available in North America? Buying stuff directly from Germany is a bit of a pain.
Gosh! It seems like everyone would like to contact Matt Spitzley - including me! I have not seen him since the mid 1980s when a) I drove in the...
This comes a few years late, but I'm a bit slow at the keyboard... I think Gus Stallings ran PF II Cab No: 2041GT on the flats in '61, not a...
I'm impressed by the accuracy of your memory! Say in the mid 70s I don't suppose you might have noticed a regular 250 PF II Cab with covered...
The factory restored cars in the 1980s, sometimes with a blow-torch. Here are some shots I took there in April of '81 [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Hmm . Seems odd that none of your in-laws would know what it is, given that they have bought and owned it 'forever'. Looks well taken care of...

It was late in September of 1979, and I was living in N.Y. More to the point, it was one of those rare sunny-but-not-hot days when the weather...
I've taken the liberty of moving your pictures about - and you are right. The doors, no the whole cars, are very different. Who knew? When...
I read something on the BBC that $4.6 billion had been confiscated by the police in 2012 - it is a very profitable industry for the 17,000 odd law...
I'll measure my cab. door later today and post the length. Any chance you could do the same with your car? I'll use the crease in the bodywork...
The good thing about the long trunk is that one can actually carry luggage! [ATTACH]
