Photo Gallery from our current issue.

April 2008

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 April issue is Jim Schrager’s first Panorama MarketWatch, a look at current Porsche values at auction sales around the world. To complement Jim’s piece and to give you a little additional food for thought, we looked through Panorama Mart ads back through the years. In this month’s Gallery, have a look at Porsche sales offers that will make you wish time travel was possible. The photos are from Leonard Turner’s collection and are not the specific cars that were advertised, but they are representative of the models in these ad texts that come directly from the pages of Panorama.

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!
