Spyder 550 550A

[Type550]

550-10 is my favourite 550 with the elegant tail fins. It is raced regularly which is great to see, but the only think I don't like is the fake fuel filler cap...

Looks nice
Is it a dvd in the smaller "Anleitung" ?
How many pages it ?
Is it so you would be able to use it as a handbook?

The book has 107 pages full with technical information.
It tells you a lot about the author's experiences on the carrera engines and give you worthful hints if you want to work on those engines or just want to use your carrera the right way.
The small "Anleitung" is not a CD but paperwork and is a summary of the main things in disassembling, measuring and assembling of the fuhrmann engines.
It tells you things that you will not find in the original Porsche manuals.

I think its a necessary evil Andrew if the owner wishes to continue vintage racing it. Like any other current racing car this old Spyder too must run an approved fuel cell and corresponding cap. That old decoy cap at least fills the hole in correctly. Nice photos!

Apparently the car is running on an indoor velocycle track somewhere in Germany
