Any information on this long time not used umbrella?
The brand name is Fox umbrellas from London.
Why do they all come from the UK?

For use a parasols during the current heatwave and drought here obviously, since london has less rain than Paris can’t be to keep dry
Another brolly from same catalogue.
Not an S Fox &Co frame and can tell the quality difference but is a handy usable size as it folds out. Seems to be same as 3. Wouldn’t say it is pocket sized however.

Keep them coming!!! thanks for keeping this threat going!
By way of comparison another vintage one I have does not say Porsche Martini just Martini Racing. So unlike the seat umbrella version can’t be certain it pertains to Porsche.
It is not a seat just a wooden handle with rope lanyard and being a cotton canopy rather than nylon is probably for use as a parasol with being slightly bigger provides better shade but not as waterproof as this:

Of the three or four Porsche umbrellas I’ve posted lately the Martini Porsche seat brolly (above) is my favourite and possibly the most rare because logo is referring to the Martini Porsche and the factory used Fox promotion and accessories being a British made Fox frame.
I’m sure there were variations of canopy and handle across the years like this one with “Martini Racing Team” and the curved handle, probably made of bamboo.
The logo as displayed on the cars changed and evolved some examples from posters 73 and then later

Not sure if one if these posted before? A Porsche + Audi jacket by L.A. California maker as worn by the man in natty slacks and his pal in presence of Ferry Porsche at the 1973 parade Monterey. Reposted pictures from another thread to give context. Two worn together and is that a third one on the lady further back and right too? If so these jackets seemed all the rage at that Parade maybe some of our west Coast USA remember these? Pretty good condition considering it’s about five decades’ old. Who needs the zip in lining with global warming these days?
While the then new RS in road and race were at event makes this jacket somewhat appropriate for my car. Wasnt that P+A brand combo is the American operation plus the logo puts me in mind of the monster power North American Can-Am racer. Maybe better home back over the pond or for someone wjaewhere with a North American delivered car as I have other rare rest of world official vintage jackets from 73. Undecided if it’ll remain in my vintage Porsche jacket collection.

Fantastic jacket Steve, now you need to find the striped trouser and you are good to go for the Goodwood revival

Another vintage jacket Brumos doesn’t say Porsche …
This one says Porsche spoke to Hunziger about it is a British made original not one of his faithful repros:
