Speedster sculpture/model

[Andy Hurwich]

Who made the Speedster sculpture on the cover of Porsche Spielzeug und Miniaturen?

[George Kehler]

Very good question !!

[Joris Koning]

I believe it is a Dutch ceramics artists who was inspired by the ceramic models given to special people back in the day. Can't think of his name right now

[Andy Hurwich]

I just bought the book expecting to find the answer but couldn't find an artist credit for this sculpture!

I inherited a casting very similar to that from a long time Porsche enthusiast restorer several years back.

I suspect this might be a knockoff of the example shown in that book as the wheels don't sit quite as well.

No distinguishing markings on the underside other than "retrotech" and a number written in magic marker.

Hi, it looks similar to mine. Robert Blocker, of the Netherlands, was selling these cars at the lit meet some time back. He said that a friend made them.[img][img]

The excellent Speedster book by Michael Thiriar credits these Speedster sculptures to Dutch artist Jakob Wttenwaal.
I have a lovely Pre A coupe which I presumed to be by the same artist, but it has a signature/ logo on the base that I can't identify yet.
Bought on Ebay several years ago when there were a few different ones for sale from the same person.
I always regretted not buying the A coupe as well.

That 2 tone Speedster is fabulous.

That signature looks very similar to mine. Obviously the same artist.
Thanks
