July 2006

Each month, Panorama magazine brings you the best from the world
of Porsche. Races, vintage car shows, technical articles, we cover it all!

At Panorama, we never have room for all the pictures we'd like to
share with our readers. Here are some photos that just wouldn't fit
into the magazine this month.

Featured in the July issue is Bob Gutjahr's lament on the difficulties of restoring an old Porsche. It's not for the faint of heart, he says, and though you can read all about his tribulations in the new Panorama, we present here a gallery of winning 356s from Porsche roadster #1 through a pair of autocross and rally Porsches from the early days.


We refer you to the magazine for even more articles. How do you get your copy? Join PCA, Porsche Panorama is a prime benefit of membership!

This 1959 356A cabriolet proves the found-in-a-barn fantasy can come true. Owned today by Tom McKenny, it came directly from its rediscovery to a division win at Milwaukee in 2001.

 

Porsche #1, the famous little mid-engined roadster that started the dynasty, came from Porsche's Stuttgart museum to be displayed at the Mont Tremblant Parade in 1999.
