Hi Neil
This pre A race number 162 did race the Carrera Panamericana but in 1953 in the hands of Manfredo Lippmann from Guatemala
This car was DNF
Manfredo did race the 1954 edition of the Carrera Panamericana but this time with an Osca race number 62
Here some pics of this car taken in 2013 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed
The car wear a british plate may be when it was in Andy Prill hands
Manfredo Lippman who died recently was very rich and built an impressive car collection

Thank you. Google does tell me that Manfredo had some very interesting cars.
Apparently this one was abandoned in a car park!
"After barely a year McArvey-Munn sold it to a diplomat at the
French consulate in New York City who then apparently
abandoned it in a New York parking garage."

Hi Andrew
Thanks for your wise explanations
Just for our pleasure may you answer some questions :
First
1) I am right to say that 550-04 is to day in the Porsche Stuttgart museum ?
2)Hans Hermann drove 550-04 in both 1953 and 1954 Carrera Panamericana
3)In between the 2 races, where was the body modification done ?
In the Hohenlohe VW/Porsche agency in Mexico or did the car was sent back to Stuttgart ?
