        Justin that just finish the Porsche Abarth story
        Unless you are bored by my writing I have still many many stories to tell
        Next to come will be :
        The Lambert Dock Volvo Porsche special a certainly unknown story for most of you that I recently discover reading an article dedicated to a famous Frenchman collecting Volvo cars in a weekly magazine dedicated to historical cars named "La Vie de l'Auto" whose dream was to find back this car desapeared since 1990
        Always enjoy reading your posts and looking forward to this next chapter.

          • Frantz Albert had a first experience of car racing in 1954 with a Lancia but with very little success
            His racing car career started in 1958 when he bought a second hand 550 that he enter in several local Austrian races up to the end of 1960 where he replace it by an also second hand RS 60
            Frantz Albert car race number 87 is seen below at a training session in Ocotber 1958 on the Innsbruck airport track together with Ernst Vogele car race number 80 and Ludwig Fisher car race number 85

                • Hi Porschinelle,
                  Very interesting regarding KTM in 1955, a very small company back then.
                  I rode a Penton, built by KTM, in the 1976 ISDT in Zeltweg, Austria, great machines that helped start KTM on their road to success.

                      • As you may see Frantz Albert never raced outside Austria except in 1962 when he took part to the Le Mans 24 hours race with a Simca Abarth 1300 becoming the second Austrian pilot to race the Le Mans 24 hours
                        Unfortunately the Simca Abarth was out quickly with gearbox problems
