What's a 'Real' Porsche?


There's a lot of debate about this in the on-line Porsche world. Here's the definitive answer:


'Real' Porsches were built by old man Ferdinand Porsche and young Ferry, his son, in an old sawmill in Gmund in Austria in 1949 and early 1950. They wielded the hammers and spanners themselves, beat out the panels over wooden bucks, raided the British VW factory for parts and built 60 cars.


Anything built after that is a commercial sell-out.
