Panorama magazine kept us abreast of new developments.
I miss those days.

There truly were “good old days” when it comes to Porsches. The cars, the people, almost everything. Even 20 years ago, when anyone with a job could own a cool 911 and take it out to the track and spend the day with guys like Jack Olsen, Tyson Schmidt and MMarsh.
I’ve always said that if you want to have a good cry, look in the back of an issue of Panorama from the ‘70s or early ‘80s. The classifieds consist of ads for things like 2.2 911S cars and Speedsters owned by enthusiasts making private party sales with all records, mint condition with Konis, etc. Asking $6500. Sigh….
