THE SUMMER IS OVER AND WINTER IS COMING

The summer 2025 is over and the winter is coming. Next week we will get snow! We had one of the last test drive days in our base on the first of November. It was the only dry day of the week and still with + 4 C ° degrees.
We drove our 1955 Pre-A 356 Cabriolet after the final engine adjustments. We drove the car in the late afternoon which was dark like in the middle of the night. Our small old 6 -volt lights were quite humble in the highway traffic with the enormous led lights of the modern lorries. Our small cabrio was running fine in the highway speeds with its narrow 135-140 wide (trailer/ motorcycle?) tires. Not really the optimal conditions for a small beautiful cabrio, but it was a great adventure. Nice after Halloween evening ! 🥵
We also drove two customer cars. The one was a 1980 911 SC from our old customer. The car has a high end 3,2 conversion and 46 mm PMO carburetors – Great specification. Now we upgraded the complete pedal system to Rennline pedals and 964 based race throttle system. The driving feeling of the car changed completely. Now the throttle is really sensitive to take the best out of the car and power unit. 😃
Our beloved 1965 911 race car is resting in it base and waiting for the new season. Historic racing is as sophisticated as modern racing like WRC, WEC and F1. We are now waiting the new technical rules for 2026 for our race car which got its FIA homologation 60 year ago. This changing of the rules every year or two is the disease of the motorsports.😡
After busy summer we will have a busy winter ahead of us to complete two high end 964 Backdates for our customers. Here you have pictures of the status off the CC2 chassis, engine and suspension. Now it is a real puzzle to get the car together again. At the same we work with similar CC3 project which should also be on the road in summer 2026. It is great to be busy.😃🇫🇮🚗
