Otto Mathe from Austria owned his Porsche Typ 64 for more than 40 years. Here is a little tribute to him with some old pictures from races and his shop. He bought the Typ 64 directly from Ferry Porsche in Gmund 1949. Mathe took part in several rallys in the early 1950´s with this car. He also had three Porsche 356 Gmund, one of them very breifly. Last picture is our recreation of the Mathe car, finished late last year and now 4000 kms on the clock. Read more about it on my personal FB page or the new blog:

Update: April 20, 2022 Milage: 2352kms Today I drove the the Typ 64 for a total of 252kms. Car ran well, lots of gusty winds today, you could see the lorrys moving all over the place. Trip went north and it was also time for a very nice coffee break at Bosse "Bildoktorn" Andersson, Swedish TV and Radio celebrity. I brought sponge cake and he and his lovely wife had fresh coffee and sweets. Bosse have many years experience at SFRO as a technical inspector, this is the organisation that checks and passes all privately built cars and motorcycles here in Sweden. Two hours of nice talks about everything!😘 The church in the background is located in Myresjo and was finished already in year 1150 at this location.💪 Bell tower to the right. Took the last pic when I stopped for sandwich and drink on my way back home. Greetings from Sweden.

Third recreation drive this week in the Typ 64. Nearly 4000 kilometers now in this car since finished. Very nice and mild autumn so far. Todays drive was also mainly on gravel roads, one stretch was newly sufaced and very loose on top, great fun.😎 Here are some pics from today and also a fantastic pic from the early 1940´s. Early KDF Beetles.....and look at the end of the right row...........😉 ------------------------------------------------ Tredje rekreationsresan den här veckan i Typ 64. Nästan 4000 kilometer nu i den här bilen sedan den blev klar. Mycket fin och mild höst än så länge. Dagens körning gick också främst på grusvägar, en sträcka var ny sladdad och väldigt lös på ytan, jättekul.😎 Här är några bilder från idag och även en fantastisk bild från tidigt 1940-tal. Tidiga KDF-Bubblor.....och se i slutet av den högra raden........😉
