Good going guy. Are you thinking about buying it? Pretend you are and ask for the keys (I know there are no keys, but you know what I mean). I am not familiar with that car or its history.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_910I hope this is of some interest. The car I sat in was a 6 cylinder version and was raced by Vic Elford. An absolute honour.

Went down to Fiskens as I was in South Kensington and got chatting to one of the chaps who works there. Turns out I've seen him racing historics quite a lot and he just offered I could sit in the car. I was gushing like a kid in a candy store! Last racing car I sat in was Marcus Pye's ex-Keke Rosberg Chevron B40; I'd forgotten how claustrophobic they are! So fit for purpose though!
