I believe that the 'S' plates on these cars signify that they may belong to the Faktory --- or, at least came from Stuttgart. Porsche did supply fleet of cars to be used by the movie company --- in the filming as well as by some of the senior staff

Jo & Jo...Just came across this one ...Sorry, don't know when and where but they look pretty relaxed...

At the Questor Grand Prix…

Next week the Dutch F 1 Grand Prix will be held at Zandvoort

In today’s local paper there is an article with pictures from 1965.
In those days the race track didn’t have boxes for the crews so the F 1 cars took the public roads to local repair shops.
Credits to the photographer. The pictures with the article are from Arie Koper, a then 12 year old kid who was supposed to run an errand for his teacher but made other plans when he got a chance.
