Very nice vintage footage of Porsche 550 RS Spyders at Nürburgring and Goodwood

Hi Laurent,

Nice find, thanks for sharing that.

A few comments/observations:

-What the heck was that VW Beetle towing at the 14 second mark? Photo below

-A silver car (Spyder?) with a pushrod engine is seen at 1 minute seven seconds. Perhaps some sort of Porsche Special? Photo also below.

-Did anyone else notice how skinny everybody was back then? Way before McDonald's I guess...

-The footage of RvF was terrific, a real gentleman for sure.

-A couple of nice Barndoor Busses can be seen.

-It is easy to see why Jackie Stewart called the 'Ring "The Green Hell".

-First car that pulls out in a Le Mans start is NOT guaranteed a good start.

The footage isn't actually at LeMans - the first eight minutes are from the Nürburgring and the second half is the 1955 Goodwood 9hr with Stirling Moss
