Hi , sorry , but I could find no other thread suitable .

It is about Porsche RS60 and 61 , might be from the same years or 62 ? I have a seen a picture with such a car . Could be from a hillclimb , have looked for it in all WC races. The car looks silver, has no. 2 (looks hand painted) has a double narrow stipe from the frontshiekd(full width) to the front where the no. is. The stripes looks white plus dark (red ? blue ?) Other cars is a Ford 55 small truck , a Ford Vedette 55 (looks like french reg.no. and a FerrariGT white (?)and not so narrow stripe perhaps red (at least dark) Perhaps it could help me with a chassis list or owner list (the same?) but I did not find any !
Any help or guesses ?

wave.gif A bit off the id topic , I have tried to find more on these Porsches , in the dimensions department! Also here I have to give up! Not having all books, my Porsche books can give me infos and dimensions (wheelbase etc) on all Porsches less the RS60/RS61. One, the Pritchard book ,list all measures except this one , but tells in the text it was longer wheelbase than the RSK(718).
So , I have a new question : Anyone know the wheelbase and the overall length /and or width ??

try warren eads at Spyder Sports in the US....he has all the information you will ever need on porsche spyders...google Spyder Sports and send him an email...he is in the restoration business but will supply time and information if approached gently.

wave.gif dbw and Rosemayer , thanks both , did try again , but again came out with failure on
e-mail@spydersports.com !

Thanks Carlos Guerra. Dipping a bit deeper I found that Porsche quite had some changing about ,regarding the various races and car entered with chassis and engines, more than I "knew" !

But I got now what I looked for ! Thanks all!

Patience on my behalf does pay off!
