Glockler Porsche - the brothers helped design the 1st 550s for Porsche and the 5 they built were the first track cars to bare the Porsche emblem

For some reason, that photo just does it for me. I have decided to now base my spyder on this one with MM livery and period features etc. It is one of the few Spyders that I don't have any photos of it today - maybe it is one of the lost spyders and I can rebirth it

Looks like Andrew's picture of this MM Spyder (550-0035 as Steve H. notes) is surrounded by an Italian race team and/or owner(s).

Anything with these cars is not easy! Thanks for the clarification. Do anyone know what the crest in the middle looks like?

Thanks heaps for the link. I have emailed them to see if they will mail to Australia. Do you know if the quality is good?

Those plates are printed on aluminium, but the letters are not stamped, like the originals were.
You can have them with the number you wish.

It would be great to get them stamped - I will have to look to see if there is another option.
