What was the last adventure you had in a classic Porsche? In this issue, we look at a variety of Stuttgart-crested air-cooled classics prepared for some of the most exciting historic motoring events out there. Proving the 'passion for rallying is timeless' claim to be true, an ex-Jimmy McRae 964 Carrera 4 fresh from the Dakar Classic graces our pages, as does the Border Reivers 356 A. This superb tin-top recently took part in the Rally Monte-Carlo Historique. Our roving reporters were there to watch proceedings unfold. Across The Pond, we get up close and personal with a 914/6 expertly prepared for historic racing by marque experts, Patrick Motorsports, while erstwhile automotive historian, Karl Ludvigsen, examines Porsche's success with its many Bergspyder builds the European Hill Climb Championship. Representing the best restomodded air-cooled Porsche road cars, a 911 SC capable of 500bhp and backdated to look like an RSR tickles our fancy, along with our cover car, a perfectly imperfect 1968 911 T hot rod. Chuck in our study of the Type 114 F-Wagen (a fascinating design serving as the blueprint for all Porsche sports cars), an examination of the 911 E's hydropneumatic suspension, fresh appraisal of the Porsche-penned Volkswagen Schwimmwagen and a visit to Porsche specialist, RPM Technik, and we're sure you'll be inspired to think about the true potential of your own air-cooled classic.
Issue Summary:
Featuring a variety of classic Porsches prepared for historic motoring events, this issue of Classic Porsche follows Stuttgart's finest as they’re put through their paces in countries far and wide.
Top 3 Issue Features:
DESERT STORM - The Dakar rally, Group B and a link to motorsport legend, Jimmy McRae. Robb Pritchard spends quality time with a special 964 Carrera 4 in Saudi Arabia.
NOT SO MELLOW YELLOW - The humble yet charming 914 has hidden depths, not least its mid-engined configuration, but in the tender care of Patrick Motorsports — and in six-cylinder guise — the boxy two-seater becomes a hardcore racer.
MONTE-CARLO - AND BUST - From the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond to the sizzling Cote d’Azur, Tom Fitzsimmons and his 356 A navigated the Alpine hazards until gearbox failure sidelined the car at Valence. We rendezvoused on the Riviera following last month’s article highlighting the car’s preparation for the 2022’s Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique.
