Welcome, Stewart!
That's quite a collection. Are they all Right-hand-drive?

Hello Stewart
Nice to see you on line. Do you plan any trips to California? It would be nice to get together. I missed your event this year, but did make the NZ Porsche Parade.
Enjoy the Form

Hi guys

Thanks for the welcome.

This is all high tech for me but bear with me and I will eventually get the hang of it!

Vic the cars that I listed are all right hand drive. Four of which, the Carrera gt, the Carrera 2, the 58 speedster and the 56 sunroof coupe are all original rhd. The gt was delivered to new Zealand and has only done 13k miles. The Carrera 2 was delivered to AFN in England, and made its way here to Australia 20 years ago and is like new. The speedster is one of 4 delivered in stone gray and was delivered through Hamiltons in Melbourne in 1958. The 56 sunroof coupe was delivered by the dealer in Sydney and it too is like new.

The other cars including another half a dozen that I have were all American cars that I have restored and converted. Two of which have come from Bob Campbell and thanks Bob for your welcome.

It was good to catch up with Bob Garretson and thanks also Bob for your welcome!
We overcame the plug fouling issues with the GT and it is really going the way it was meant to. It is truly a stunning car.

Mike the car you mentioned was one that I bought some years ago from mark van devetner in las Vegas and restored it and sold it to a friend. It is a particularly nice car.

Bob you may recall I bought a 60 model roadster from you 4-5 years ago, and I decided to make it into a really nice outlaw. I will post some photos which I am sure will tingle a few taste buds! It is all metal and not over the top and really looks the part.

Thanks again to all of you guys, I always look forward to being in the US, and any of you that get to this site of the world will get a warm welcome and plenty of reciprocity.

Stewart, welcome to the group, Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. One of my many weak spots is computer "Stuff", but I can weigh in on our fun cars.

Again welcome aboard, Jim.

Welcome to the Registry! I mean to get to Australia someday, and will look you up when I do. BTW, there's a neat car mag you may have already seen that covers the SE Asia and Oz beat called "Rewind." Published by Eli Solomon in Singapore. He's always looking for a story, and your collection looks like a topic and a half!

Best to you!
