Our 1971 911 E project has come a long way on its journey to become the most immaculate RS lightweight replica that you can imagine, and we’ve got the scoop on where it’s at.

Since we last spoke it's been stripped back to bare metal and prepared for painting with two stages of patiently-matured primer. After resting in its second stage of primer for the past month it's being painted as we speak and is going to look stunning.

While the bodywork was being prepared and primered we got to work on the engine. It was stripped back to bare crank cases and all internal measurements; crank shafts, line borings; everything that could possibly need checking, were taken and checked and found to be well within tolerances.

From there we stripped the cylinder heads and checked all related components, making the decision to install a new set of upgraded valve springs to compliment the cylinder heads, and inspected the cams, pistons and piston rings, which were all in excellent condition.

As part of the immaculate, better-than-new approach, all external components, like rocker covers and brackets have all been sent to be powder coated and nuts, bolts, fuel lines, pulleys, straps and brackets have all gone to be re-plated and refurbished.

And now we’re up to the really fun stuff, where we get to focus on the details and install all of the shiny bits that will really make this car shine as an immaculate ’73 RS.

We’re on the home stretch and we can’t wait to show you the finished car soon!

Long-time friend of the Autohaus Hamilton family, Molly Taylor, has launched an incredible competition in support of her 2012-2103 European and World Rally Program.

The prize is a once in a lifetime adventure – a trip to the 2013 Formula One Monaco Grand Prix, via a cruise through the Swiss, Italian and French Alps driving a selection of supercars. When you get to Monaco you’ll be watching the Grand Prix in luxury just meters from the track, aboard a superyacht moored in the famously glittering harbour.

We’re thrilled to be able to support our friend in her rallying career and can’t wait to see her out there taking names!

2005 Porsche 911 CARRERA S Cabriolet

Delivered by Porsche Centre Brisbane in October 2005, this seal grey Carrera S is in absolutely immaculate condition and definitely reflects the very low 17,000 odd kilometers that it has travelled.

With its 355 horsepower spec engine, the Carrera S is one extremely quick car. And along with the upgraded power, this car also comes Porsche's legendary big red brakes and adjustable sport suspension, that you can set to either comfort or sport.

With a fully electric roof and no levers to release or lock, the cabriolet is a very easy car to live with. If you want near coupe levels of quiet and refinement put the roof up, or just leave it down and enjoy the best of open top motoring.

At last year’s PCNSW Concours we sold out of Porsche-themed Hunziker t-shirts.  If you saw them and missed out, or if you bought one and realise that one such t-shirt is just not enough to complete your wardrobe (and honestly, it isn’t), the good news is that we now have different designs in stock.

We’re selling these shirts at $35 including gst, which for pure cotton shirts with quality printed artwork is better than a bargain.

Show the world that you are a paragon of good taste with artwork celebrating Porsche’s prestigious motorsport history from the 1950’s to the 1970’s.

Available for pick up in Dee Why for $35.00 including GST, and can mail them to you for an additional $7.20 postage.

Call James on (02) 9905 0096 or email parts@autohaushamilton.com.au to purchase your shirt.

Received wisdom is the stuff that everybody knows.  In the same way that common sense isn’t very common, received wisdom is not very wise.

In the case of convertible sports cars, the received wisdom is that, because the roof has been cut off, the resulting car is as stiff as a piece of wet cardboard.  And we know this, because every time a motoring journalist drives a convertible, they tell you that it is less stiff than its coupe counterpart.  And while there is a nugget of truth there – cut a box in half and the resulting structure is certainly less stiff than it used to be – Porsche’s designers and engineers know about this, and deal with it.  And they deal with it very well indeed, because the truth is, even on rough roads, a 997 Convertible remains perfectly composed.

The Porsche Club of New South Wales joined in the celebrations at Sydney Motor Sport Park this weekend as more than 150 clubs and nearly 2000 classic cars got together for the 2012 Eastern Creek Classic.

We spent a sunny Sunday afternoon exploring the pits and paddock and checking out the huge variety of classic machines on display, and have a few photos from the day for you to enjoy.

Keep an eye out for the Porsches of Shane Smollen and Neale Muston as they duck and dive through the melee at the start. Brilliant driving from all involved!

With a mighty 469 horses available to push its slender sub-1200 kilogram body around, Ruf’s CTR was able to outrun supercars like the Lamborghini Countach, Ferrari F40 and Porsche 959 when it was introduced in the late ’80s.

Those horses, when combined with a seriously masterful right boot, proved plenty of power to push it around the endless bends of the Nürburgring Nordschleife in just eight minutes and five seconds.
