Great pics . . . Great Cars . . . Looks like a Great Day

also there was the new aussie super car concept car as well......some of you may have seen it on (i think it was) the car show on tv but i could be wrong. i however didnt get a pic of it. and yes it was a well spent 5 bucks entry. though im not quite sure about the ordering of hot food in the mess tent.........they seemed to think a hot dog was called a "sausage burger" ......ill never work that one out. and they called themselves aussies jeeze.

Nick,

Can you tell me if the Porsceh 904/6 GTS (the green one) is a kit car or an original.

Thats my favourite classic porsche!

Do you have any more pics of it? Can you email them to me [url]mailto:steve@matara.net[/url]

Thanks

Steve

i think it was real though im no expert i will email you the full size images i have posted here they are the only ones i got of it. sorry steve.

How good is that 76 passat wagon!

*droooooooliscious!!!* what an amazing selection of porsches! i think im going to have to go to the next one now! (is it next year?)

did u get any piccies of the ferarris? (sorry... ive just got a penchant for the classic ones, they are red, you know how it is)

looks like an awesome day! definitely going to have to make the next one!

Got the photos, Thanks Nick! I wonder if its an original! I've heard there is just one in Australia. If it is its worth big $$$. Hard to tell though as the real ones were fibre glass too!

I think this might the history as this car was Irish Green:-

Chassis No: 906-007 Spyder. 1965 : Targa Florio - Colin Davis/Gerhard Mitter 2 OA 1 cl. 1965 : 1000 Km Nürburgring - Gerhard Mitter/Colin Davis/Jo Bonnier/Jochen Rindt DNS. 1965 : Hill Climb Rossfeld Gerhard Mitter 1 OA.1 cl. 1965 : sold to Hamilton. 1966 : Australian racing car. Chassis replaced with a new unit from the factory. 1967 : 1 OA in Victorian and South Australian Sports Cars Championships, 2 OA in Australian Sports Cars Championships and Autralian Hill Climb Championships and 3 OA in 12 Hours Surfer’s Paradise. 1968 : 1000 Km Nürburgring. 1971 : 1 OA. Australian Hill Climb Championships. Sold to Pat Burke. 1984 : sold to Hamilton again. Engine 2300 cc. 1985 : auction, sold. 1986 : Melbourne auction, sold 1989 London Auction. 1990 Melbourne : Auction. 1991 : Monaco Auction. Sold by Fantasy Junction to Jubst.
3 Cars exist with same numbers. 2001: First in England

NB : races results confusion between 906007 and 906008

The car was owned by Aln Hamilton who in 1965 was working at the Porsche Factory. Hamilton purchased the Kangaroo which came second in the 1965 targa Florio driven by Mitter/Davis. This car had chassis nr. 906 007. Hamilton had the factory remove the eight cylinder engine and replace it with a 6 cylinder because it would have been very difficult to mantain the 8 cylinder for him in Australia where he is living. Hamilton imported the car in Australia in 1965 under under a custom document called "section 162" (temprary import) which allowed him not to pay duty and sales taxes. The car was raced successfully by him towards 1966. At the end of 1966 Hamilton ordered from the factory a new updated chassis complete with suspension brakes, and body. The new car had no chassis number and Hamilton transferred chassis 007 to the new car as well as the original motor gearbox and other technical components. As said by Hamilton, the old chassis did in a legal sense no more exist. By the end of 1967 the car had to be exported, because, the custom paper were expiring and the taxes had to be paid. Hamilton sold the car to Richard Wong in Singapore who had a lot of fun with the car before getting in jail. It is as this time that Teddy Yip got involved into the car, which he shared with Dr Henry Lee of Singapore. Mr Lee, died passed away and his wife decided to sell the car.The car travel for UK

great pics Nick, we agree it was a great day,

heaps of nice rides and got some inspiration out of it too,

definatly be going again next year, and maybe with some more VW entries!
catch up with u soon Rick

for those on here with a Porsche bent this is my dream combo 🙂 the 550 is real and one of perhaps two in aus and a handful world wide, the cruel irony that is probably worth a great deal more that the new GT was not lost on me, it was also funny chatting to some dopey Porsche club people that did not know what it was 🙁 anyway this is my favourite Porsche just from an engineering perspective.

i knew they were rare but i didnt think there was only 1 in OZ steve i would have taken more pics! and no, no pics of farraris sorry.......i did get a nice pic of a cosworth ford seierra and then deleted the pic and forgot to take another:cry im really pissed about that

oh and rick guess what i forgot to bring......that bloody aussiekombicampers sticker lol ive still got it for you and ill get it to you one day. no use to me

Looks like a great day - must put that one on the calendar for next year....

Thanks for the pics!

The car in the left of the pic is a Porsche 718 RSK. Even rarer than a 550 Spyder. Although I love spyders too!

Great Pics

Steve

if that 904 is a real one steve how much roughly would it be worth just out of interest.

Nick

Hey they silver porche on the second page. It looks like a 997? or is it a 911 from pre 996 models? the front lights make it look like the 997?

last time i went to that show i got a ride in a dodge viper.
now thats a bloody sweet ride.

i didnt see a dodge viper at the show though there was some guy selling tickets for a ride in his hot air balloon.

it was 1998 when i last went.
i use to work across the road at the French Quarter Resort.

Steve,
the 904 is the real deal; no motor in it at present....
The owner is an old guy here in Noosa who does the restorations himself.
He was also displaying a Wanderer (?) which was apparently designed by old man Porsche in the 30's; that's real rare. I'll see if I can find a piccy of it.
I tried a while back to see if he would look at a resto of my 58KG as I know he has a soft spot for them but he was too busy ( and too little time as he is 70 odd).
A nice guy; showed me through his shop.

Another amazing car was a green gull-wing Mercedes in immaculate original condition; only had about 40k miles on the clock & for sale for around half a mill.
