Hello Foxy,

thanks for sharing. It is the right contribution at the
right time. The Porsche 917 K was the car driven by
Jo Siffert in the 70's.
The licence plate also fits perfectly to the 917 K. And
CW stands for the city of Calw, which is not too far
away from Stuttgart, the cradle of the 917 and the
"boxer city" in general.

Best wishes

: There are a couple of companies now making decent replicas, you
: just have to fit a 911 gearbox and engine. Here are a couple I
: think are in Austria:

: I'd love one of those replicas, I'd have it in plain white like the
: German Hotelier's one!
