1970 Porsche 911S

This page is devoted to my 1970 Porsche 911S. It's mostly original, and getting more so every day. The following items are still known to be non-standard on it.

  • 1972 RS style front bumper - missing black trim strip
  • Blackened horn grills
  • Stainless-steel exhaust pipes
  • Non-standard sun visors (I have obtained a pair - just need to fit them!)

Other Porsche things

I am a paid-up member of the Porsche Club New Zealand.

I had the idea to design a head-rest mount for a video camera. Fellow Porsche club members built the unit, and here are some digitised movies that I have made with it. The awesome sound of the 2.2S motor is best experienced in hi-fi stereo.
