Another diecast ebay purchase - couldn't resist the low "buy it now" (sucker) price and shipping. So, this 906 series is the second of the so-called plastic Porsches of the late1960's. It was the first to use a tubular frame, versus the boxed steel frame of its predecessor, the 904.

| Posed next to one of those 28mm fashion models. Speed sells. |
In its first race at Daytona in 1966, it won its class against the Ferrari Dino 206.

| Again, next to an obligatory 28mm fashion model. |
Below it's placed chronologically next to its brethren. All "street legal" racers.
 |
| l-r: 500 Spyder, 904, 906, 917 |
It came boxed in a nice display case too.
There's only one more racing Porsche I'd like to get, the 956/962; preferably in Rothmans colors.
