As much as I would love to join, I just can't see the value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you perhaps offer to make a donation to them in return for the info/scan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's going to be a tiny image at the bottom of a page that probably doesn't even have my car in it. I could buy a few issues for £10 of ebay. Not sure PCGB is that short of money. lol. I am hoping that my contact at Porsche might have access to some better photos, but as it was before the digital age it might take some time.

Daboy3000 Posted January 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 That could well be my car, hard to tell if it's blue or black. Thank you so much. @Fat Rat I think i'll order a copy and keep digging for more pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Rat Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Looks to be black to me. But a few out of picture. I can try and email you the pdf file if you pm your email. 🤙🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daboy3000 Posted January 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 Thanks again @Fat Rat. I've ordered a copy from eBay to go in my folder and I'm trying to find out if Colin Billington is still about, he may have some photos still.

Mattman42 Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) This would sound like it’s probably one of the earliest - seem to remember someone asking a similar question previously and it was determined the earliest cars were all registered P*** EGM https://www.carandclassic.com/car/C1470134 you can’t go too far wrong if you only paid £1500 for yours though! 😁 Edited January 12, 2023 by Mattman42 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He arrogantly said that his was the oldest, but I was talking about registration date and he was talking about build date. So that car (P159 EGM) was built before mine but registered in the UK after mine according to my V5. The date may be incorrect as it was a sunday, maybe a computer/input error at some point. who knows. still, it's all fun and still owes me less than £3.5k I am surprised he is selling it, I believe he owns a blue one too, built even earlier, but registered later. all very odd.
