Historical & Other Photos

Contribute! This photo gallery will document vintage and current photos of 911 RSR race cars at various events and locations. If you have any period photos you'll be willing to share with the rest of us, please email them to ajserrano@msn.com. By the way, I have already received a lot of period photos from several great sources, particularly from Germany. Thank you guys! Again, I want to express my gratitude for the many collective contributions from all of you, the 911 RSR fans! Please keep them coming! Let's keep those memories alive! ; )

If by chance you're considering to sell any of your factory "original" 911 RSR parts, please contact me via email at ajserrano@msn.com or, by telephone at (562) 227-0997 (I much rather complete my 911 RSR project without having to resort to reproductions). For now, please enjoy these photos and again, thank you!

I really had to post this...

“Thank god there’s no 48-hour race anywhere in the world, because chances are nobody could beat Porsche in a 48-hour race. They’re probably the only cars in the world that would stand-up for something like that.”
Carroll Shelby, quoted in Porsche advertising brochure, 1972.

“By the way, Carrol Shelby was wrong, there was a 84-hour race, The Marathon de la Route at the Nurburgring - and Porsche did win it! (Vic Elford in my old 911R prototype).”
Edmond Harris, quoted December 2006

Andrew Horsell ahorsell@btinternet.com hide \| delete 13-Jun-2007 08:07 Just to set the record straight, I own the 911R prototype which won the Marathon de la Route. Russel Edmonds sold the car to me back in 2001. Also the Marathon is in fact an 84 hour race (not 48). Hello Mr. Horsell and thank you for your post and clarification of the Marathon race. I was not personally present when Carroll Shelby made the statement (making the dangerous assumption that it is true) but I can only guess that at the time, he didn't know there was in fact a longer event. Also, one could only imagine if Carrol Shelby made that comment when referencing a 48-hour race, what would his remarks be if he only knew about the 84-hour event? ...and Porsche winning it! As they say, "There is no substitute" ; ) Armando PS: I too would love to see photos of your 911R, I believe you know my email...
