Steering wheel is on the wrong side.

Did you get to hear it run?

They had some of the same cars in that showroom when I attended one of those meetings a couple of years ago. Are beers still $2?

The guy who owns it was there and started it up........Sounded awsome!

He also started the 356 Carrera GT which sounded very nice also

Yeah i believe the beers are still $2......What bought you to one of these events? (i am guessing you are an Aussie)

That can't be right, how can there only be 2 in all of Australia? There are more than 2 in my Province, I've seen the one in Edmonton run.

Left drive cars are forbidden in Australia. The GT to my knowledge did not have a right hand drive version.

They were never officially imported by porsche into the country as they can not be registered (being only left hand drive among other things). So any brought in the AUS were privately imported....this one came from a guy in New York
