Spyder 550 550A

[Type550]

The car was in a serious roll over accident and was repaired with the front of an RSK! This would probably explain the poor coach work in the restoration!

Well, indeed, that firewall might tell us a roll over story....

To complete my topic in the News from France topic on the 2018 Le Mans Classic there were 2 550 this year

This one I suppose to belong to the Swiss car collector Michel Vogele

who also took part to the race sessions


Andrfew will certainly tell us more about it if he read this

[Porschinelle]

The second 550 was a 550 RS with an English registration who was displayed in the exhibitors and sponsors village in a special corner supposed to show to visitors Porsche of different periods
This one did not show on the ytrack but I suppose to be an original

when I say I suppose to be an original it is because on the 5 Porsches displayed by the Le Mans Classic organiser Patrick Peter at least 2 were complete fakes
First a fake 718 RSK

displayed alongside the fake blue abarth we already discuss of it several times


and third a 904 which I don't know if it was a copy o a real one

I really don't understand how a wise guy as Patrik Peter could have been fooled by unscrupulous owners who pretend their cars to be real ones when they are only fakes

The 550A in the display area looks original, but the 550 which raced on the track was a replica from http://502motorworks.com/502-spyder.html which was able to get FIA accreditation
