Hi Mark
the drawings cost a lot so we will not be selling them, but we will be making cars available with chassis made from the drawings.

Nothing wrong with quality, but in Porsche's racing cars the quality was in the engineering. The detail finish was crappy. The restorations and replicas are going to a level of finish that Porsche never bothered about.

Hi Chris
I know you've searched Europe for 906 parts/references. Did you see this car when it was for sale? Some nice reference pics. Porsche 906 Carrera 6 Werksrennwagen © Auto-Salon-Singen, Autosalon, Ferrari, Porsche, Mercedes, Bugatti, Autos, Cars, Images, Bilder, Photo
And here's a nice chassis reference pic ... http://www.wreckedexotics.com/906/906_20040206_001.jpg
Rob
PS The Lola GT's still on the horizon - still in search for the work/life balance (and the cash).

some pictures of the 906 in Targa Gallura, Costa Smeralda (Sardegna).
One of the nicest location in the world.
Ciao belli,
Buona pasqua

I am busy buiding a 910 replica. The chassis is half complete but I need to get hold of technical drawings of the chassis before I get any further. Are these available anywhere | |

I especially like that 906 in silver, very nice. Good thing I'm already commited with my '40 build, otherwise...
I'm also interested in your transaxle but probably set that aside for next year.
Best regards,
Rick
