Since high income earning capacity is usually not equally proportional to high driving skill, unless a very well trained driver to begin with, the owner is obviously very smart man having a professional driver showing him the car’s limits to accustom himself to them to confidently drive the car far faster next time,…

A French subject, most likely...

Rather doubtful they were trying to set any records. Those are almost always set on a closed course, with only the driver, without a passenger.

Remember, that’s the corner Stefan Bellof died. It’s on everyones mind enering that seemingly easy corner. Albeit recontoured substantially after that tragedy, it’s by no means an easy corner to go through flat out even now. Since it was stated, the car belonged not to the very good, supremely focused driver, he…

There is only one way to put the steering wheel back onto the shaft. So, no need to worry.

You mean the driver, correct? ;-))

You are correct! The F1#073 is indeed Don Wallace’s.

The red 959 is a Sport since it has no hydraulic oil access flap as does the silver Komfort version.

Surely you remember, they were but $72,000 then!

Porsche produced two versions of the 959. The standard and the Sport version. There were but 30 of those made. The Sport had different chassis numbers as well. (Since one got converted to the standard version, therefore, there are but 29 Sport versions known to exist now.)

Too bad the G-Wagen driver did not do his homework. Should have had the whole rig more balanced and land like a pro. Like these guys ...

Visited Herrn Schultz sortly after he finished the first Commendatore. BEAUTIFULLY executed, Pagani-like predecessor but despite its size the cockpit was even smaller than of a 962. Shame...

C111 Special Exhibition at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart until November of 2015.

Alfa Romeo surely tried it, with a carbon 124 body, as well...

Saw it advertised to be at Paris Auto Salon one year. Went there __ONLY__ to see it. The body was all Carbon and the interior absolutely awesome. Well worth the effort!

An EB110SS has all four wheels driven, normally... A very nice driver too!

Corrugated sides are structurally tough but also look that way...

The Spyder was also availabe with a windshield (optional and retrofitable) but most, especially the early production examples, had the very unique air deflector installed. It was so effective, when driven at speed in even moderate rain, one still stayed surprisingly dry! The alloy sheet metal box chassis is clearly…

M-B Classic Center does indeed provide an incredible service not only in their work shop but providing hard to get parts. They get shipments from D-land every week and can order _ANY_ part still available in M-B Germany’s parts system. A GREAT service especially when parts are needed for not MBNA imported…

The VERY BEST answer to the question HOW MUCH HORSPOWER IS ENOUGH that I have heard EVER came from Valentin Shaefer, the engine man EXTRAORDINARE who not only assembled infant creations of Hans Mezger, the Chief Engine designer at PORSCHE, but, EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, made them start... and subsequently nursed them in…
