1/18 PORSCHE 908/3
NURBURGRING 1971 MARKO/VAN LENNEP #4
This is a Perfect 10
I have NEVER seen a better Die-Cast. I am
Speechless
Highly detailed including the entire engine area
and racing interior. Any Porsche collector will appreciate the
intricate details of this race car.
AutoArt “tumble polishes” their body-shell
castings in much the same way that lapidary polishing is done and it
shows. The bodies are smooth without so much as a hint of a mold
parting line to be found. Their paint on this car is a beautiful.

The Martini Porsche 908/3 Flunder as it was raced
in the Nurburgring 1000 km of 1971 by Helmut Marko - Gijs van Lennep.
Yes it's hand numbered
A fabulous Auto Art limited edition with all
opening panels, showing full interior, engine and suspension
details.
The depth of detail on this car is unbelievable,
every facet of detail is spot on. The tampo printing is crisp and
clear and the depth of the paint, incredible. To feel the paint is
an experience. I found nothing to flaw on this car
Yes I am speechless, the photos do no
justice for this car.
This is a must have for any Porsche collector.
Autoart thank you for the car, this is the first car that will go
into a case...

Article 288.--Brakes:
These cars shall be equipped with a dual
braking system operated by a single-control. In case of a leak
or failure at any point in the system, effective braking power shall
be maintained on at least two wheels.
A separate hand brake (emergency brake) is not
required.
Article 289.--Coachwork:
Coachwork shall provide comfort and safety for
driver and a passenger. All elements of the coachwork
shall be completely and neatly designed and finished, with no
temporary or makeshift elements. The body shall cover all
mechanical components, except that the intake and exhaust pipes may
protrude.
All major body components such as the front and
rear bonnet and/or hood, mudguards, doors and windscreen must be
maintained in normal position throughout the event.
a) Cockpits and Seats: there shall be
seats for the driver and a passenger of equal dimension and comfort,
and equally disposed on each side of the longitudinal axis of the
car. Seats shall be firmly attached in the car, but may
provide for adjustment for the size of the occupant.
The passenger's space and seat shall remain
available throughout the competition and shall not be encroached
upon by any element of the car or equipment except as provided in
these rules.
The passenger's compartment and seat shall not
be sheltered by means of a tonneau cover of any type.
Driver and passenger space shall satisfy the
following minimum dimensions:
-- the inside minimum width of the compartment
shall be 100 cm measured at the immediate rear of the steering wheel
hub and at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the car, and
must be unobstructed and maintained at least 25 cm in a vertical
plane.
Seats must fulfill the following minimum
dimensions:
a is always measured horizontally and
parallel to the longitudinal axis of the chassis, between two
vertical planes perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and defining
from front to rear the open space on a level where such measurement
is taken.
For the driver's seat, a is measured on
the floor level, or at the bottom of any recess if need be, from the
perpendicular of the furthest pedal in its position of rest.
For the passenger seat, this measurement is
taken at a height of 20 cm above the floor, or at the bottom of the
recesses, if need be.
In case of movable seats it is forbidden to
alter the position of any seat while the car is being measured.
b is measured vertically from the rear
of a to the horizontal plane tangent to the highest part of
the cushion as shown on the drawings.
c is measured, in the horizontal plane
defined above from the upper end of b, parallel to a,
and tangent to the foremost point of back of seats.
The arrangement of body must be such that:
a + b + c = 110 cm
minimum
The minimum width for the foot space for each
person must be 25 cm measured at right angles to the longitudinal
axis of the chassis.
Windshield wipers are not required.
b) Visibility: Coachwork shall provide
visibility for driver and passenger forward and to both sides
adequate for racing conditions. Rear view mirror(s) shall
provide driver visibility to the rear of both sides of the car.
c) Doors: Coachwork shall provide at
least two rigid doors, thereby giving direct access to each of the
seats. Each door shall accept a rectangle held in a vertical
plane of at least 30 cm x 50 cm.
These dimensions shall not include any area
above the horizontal plane of the body and door panels. The
door openings may not be obstructed in any way. The
locking mechanism shall be operable both inside and outside the car.
On closed cars, the doors shall be so designed
that in case the car is partially or completely overturned at least
one of the doors shall remain in a position to be opened, or a means
of escape other than the door must be provided.
d) Mudguards: mudguards shall be firmly
attached to the coachwork with no gap between body and mudguards.
They shall be placed above the tyres and shall cover them
effectively by surrounding at least a third of their circumference.
The width of each mudguard shall extend beyond the side of the tyres
when the wheels are parallel to the longitudinal axis of the car.
In case the mudguards constitute a part of the
body, or are partly overhung by the structure of the body, the
combination of mudguards and body, or the body alone, shall meet the
above requirements.
Article 290.--Lighting:
The minimum lighting equipment shall be:
a) at least two brake lights;
b) for night racing, two head-lights at least as effective as those
normally fitted on touring cars and two directional indicators

the driver. In addition, any rotating part of the drive train
shall not pass openly through the driver and passenger compartment,
but must be under the floor or chassis structure.
c) Roll bars: cars shall be equipped
with a roll bar or structure to protect the driver in case the car
overturns. It shall be firmly attached to the chassis
structure and designed to withstand compression forces from the
weight of the car as well as fore-and-aft loads from horizontal
forces.

firewall for the passage of engine controls, wires, and lines shall
be of the minimum size necessary.
The floor of the cockpit shall be constructed
to protect the driver by preventing the entry of gravel, oil, water,
and debris from the road and engine. Bottom panels or
belly panels shall be adequately vented to prevent the accumulation
of liquid.
g) Bulkheads and Tanks: no part of any
fuel, oil, or water tank shall be exposed to any part of the driver
and passenger compartment. Fuel tanks shall be vented to

shall be provided to prevent the accumulation of fumes inside the
