<VV> Porsche 911 Engine in Lakewood

[Western Canada CORSA]

Not just any Corvair either, that appears to be a Fitch Sprint.

Well, Ingo Illinger, the single one daily Corvair driver in Germany, he
knows that exactly 11 Corvairs were bought by Porsche in the early sixties,
but he does not seem to have a source for pictures. I can give the email
address of Ingo to anyone interested.

At least some local oldtimer guy came up with an old picture of the
famous racer Huschke von Hanstein, also working for Porsche, trying to
get his Corvair LM coupe out of a field:
