Hi Ibrahim,

Is the photo of the Reutter plant, across the alley from the Porsche factory? In 1960 or 1961? The cars are 356B models, but the only way I can tell which year is by whether the nose has the Porsche script (1960 model). The car to the far right looks like coupe I purchased 27 February 1961. White was a special color ($47.60 extra) and not usually offered for a car that was staying in Europe because the German highway patrol used the same color on their 356B patrol cars.

The photo would have to be of the Ruetter line. The cars are T2 As so the photo would probably have been taken sometime in '58 or '59.

Bumper Guards?

Cool picture! So, why is it that none of them, that I can see, have bumper guards or overriders yet? I thought those were installed on the bumpers before the whole assembly was installed on the car :?:
