I have been away these last past days for a sail competition in Spain and I only discover your last posts to day
Thanks for your very clear answer to my question re Richard von Frankenberg 550 RS
Regarding your question about the Sauter Porsche KS 11 this car is one of the first I discuss in my topic the X...Porsche cars (page 2 to 6)
I post below some extracts















As you may see I discuss this car with Steve and he was sure it was not based on a real 550
