As can be seen the Monaro has period shocks and springs, definitely doesnt go round corners like it on rails.
And note the body roll.

All I know Steve is that it appears to be an original 1963 Porsche 356 GTS

It seems to have a rather unusual Hardtop .. being a 1963 model would be amongst the last as the 911 / 912 series commenced around that time or early 1964 .. were orginally to be 901 and 902 but Peugeot thought they owned the middle zero 203 403 404 etc .. so Porsche changed and use a one [ 1 ] for the middle number ..

Although an Austin - Healey Man, [ owned 1 big - a 100 / 4 and four Sprites over 16 years ] was a TR Man too !!, think the TR 2 was the one I saw late yesterday, and had a TR4A for many years, the slideways car.
Thanks for the photos Nigel

Anyone know what this was all about?

Looked like a film production crew, or was it an over indulgent selfie?

The 'crew' were around for a while Nigel, so who knows, they might even have snapped you! Great pics as always.
