1 An introduction to a true Porsche Connoisseur Richard Andrade CONNOISSEUR: a person who has a great deal of knowledge about the fine arts, cuisines, or an expert judge in matters of taste. Konrad Fauser is a fellow member of the Porsche 928 Owners Club, a worldwide web-based group of Porsche 928 owners connected by the URL He introduced himself upon joining the club with a nice letter that outlined his collection of Porsches, seventeen Porsches that is. Konrad models his 928 OC Cap Konrad s Cayenne sports 928 numbers I ed Konrad informing him that I planned to attend the 40 th anniversary celebration of the Porsche 928 to be held in Stuttgart from April 21 22, He graciously invited me to visit with him following the event and visit his Porsche collection. How could I resist such an offer? Sunday morning April 23 rd at 9:30 AM punktlich we were on our way. I had luggage for an 11 day overseas trip and Konrad s wife Renate joined us so Konrad s vehicle of choice for our trip to his home on the Bodensee (Lake Constance) was his 2012 Cayenne S. Konrad piloted his Cayenne with skill on the unlimited speed sections of the Autobahn where we easily reached speeds of over 240 km/hr (150 mph). Konrad kindly answered my questions about his Porsche collection, his comments follow in italics. When did you purchase your first Porsche? What model was it? Konrad: In 1977, a 911SC Model year 1978 What caused you to purchase a Porsche above the many other nice German sports cars? Copyright 2017 Richard Andrade.

2 I had always driven VW beetles and loved the air-cooled rear-engine-principle; a brilliant design and then the highest quality! That was only available with Porsche! How did you find the beautiful coupé? How long have you owned it? From Reinhold Plank in Bressanone, Italy, I bought together with my 1952 Coupe in 2000 in Austria. Konrad s new pre-a 1950 Porsche 356 Up to 1952, the windshield was in 2 pieces. The steering wheel style was only used through Yes, that is right, only 101 km. Page 2

3 No back seat for the kinder, but very nice carpeting. Everything looks brand new. Only the 1950 model had wood trim on the door sill. No fuel gauge, but a dip stick was provided for fueling. Page 3

4 No one will find a more original 1950 Porsche coupé We didn t talk about your coupé that is in restoration. Can you share any information about it? The Chassis is still in bad condition. It is next for restoration after the ALU convertible is rebuilt! Cabriolet Aluminum Chassis I bought the Alu (Aluminum) car from private ownership in 1998 with the obligation to keep it and not resell was the year the windshields were upgraded to single pane, but they were bent in the center. Page 4

5 Gläser produced 16 American Roadsters, of which 15 were all aluminum chassis. Following this production Gläser went bankrupt. Ferry Porsche then ordered the aluminum chassis cars from Reutter. Reutter then said OK, but we ll build the normal 356 Cabriolet with aluminum chassis. The Alu is the only aluminum-car built by Reutter and was delivered on August 13, 1953, about ½ year following the end of Gläser. Reutter said in handing it over to Ferry - if we have to build the car in aluminum, we would also soon be bankrupt. Therefore the idea of a steel car but lighter was born, building a Speedster steel body scaled down to the same weight as the aluminum body! I bought the from a private citizen 20 years ago. A unique highlight from Porsche history! The paint job is beautiful. Konrad confers with master builder Bernd Aberle Super Coupé The 1500 Super was the rocket of the 1950's. It came first hand (purchased from the original owner) with original mileage all service documents available. The base price was DM 12,800 [~$3047 in 1955, $27,000 in 2017 dollars], with options the cost grew to DM 21,000. The Becker Mexico radio with crank antenna was a DM 4,000 option! This worldwide original car purchased from the first owner with so few kilometers is unique in Germany! Page 5

6 This is a highly optioned 356, most did not have fuel and oil temp gauges. Only 38,927 km / 24,178 miles on the odometer. The Becker Mexico Radio was a very expensive DM 4,000 option. Started in 1953, this 1955 has the curved creased windshield. Page 6

7 Coupé The A type "Dame (Lady)" came via the USA back to Germany - no problems, I have driven it about 30,000 miles, a very smooth nice car. You don t see this on the window of a German car. It was originally sold in Missouri. Page 7 All original, except for the blue ignition coil.

8 B 1600 Super 90 Hardtop The "Karmann Hardtop-Coupe" was built as one of only ninety-nine 356B T6 with the Super 90 engine. I searched for a long time and found it in Switzerland from the original owner. I still drive it today at 180 km/hr (110 mph) on the Autobahn! An extremely fast car for its time! There is still room left after 180 kph on the speedometer. 95,862 km / 59,500 miles on the odo. Page 8

9 S This 928 was purchased from the first owner, an 84 year old lady. A very nice car, drives smoothly. The car came with all the service documentation from the Frankfurt Porsche dealer. This Euro model has 310 HP and has a 4-speed Mercedes-Benz sourced automatic transmission 111,841 km / 69,466 miles on the odometer Page 9

10 1988 Carrera Coupé This is the first Porsche that Konrad purchased new and was able to keep in his collection. A very nice looking interior. 356,110 km / 218,792 miles on the odometer. Page 10 The 6-cylinder boxer air cooled motor is very reliable

11 type 964 C4 The American baritone opera singer Bob Hale was working in Zurich and bought the car there at AMAG Zurich. He drove it very little. His girlfriend was a Danish countess. I bought the 964 from this lady with 5,000 km in By that time, the singer was long back in the USA, I believe in Dallas, Texas. The paint color is a pearlescent white. This is highly optioned with full leather and full burl wood trim. Page 11 Leather and burl wood everywhere!

12 S4 Even though Konrad loves the 928, he feels the Slate Grey Metallic exterior and black interior are too dark. This is the only car in his collection that isn t registered to drive type 964 C4 This 964 C 4 Targa is my winter car. Page 12

13 467,025 km / 290,077 miles on the odometer. That is a lot of winter driving C4 Targa I bought the 993 Targa because of the very elegant form of the car! Konrad and his charming wife Renate posed with their elegant 911 Targa. Page 13

14 This Targa has the TipTronic transmission. The Tiptronic switches on the steering wheel are upshift + and downshift to make shifting easy while driving. The gear and selection is shown on the speedometer. Page 14

15 GTS My 928 GTS has about 150,000 km. I bought it with about 90,000 km in 2012 from an older factory worker couple in Fulda. I travel more distance with the 928; it is the better car on long distances! Page 15

16 type 993 The 993 Coupe I drive in the summer along with the other cars. The interior is original and in excellent condition. 429,737 km / 266,917 miles on the odo. Page 16

17 1997 Boxster Hardtop type 986 In the Alps, the Boxster is my first choice, extremely maneuverable and fast enough to be an Alpinefun-car par excellence! Konrad searched for a Boxster that was assembled in Stuttgart. In mid 1997 the majority of production was transferred to the Valmet plant in Finland between 1997 and Turbo type 996 With the Turbo S I like to drive medium distances when it has to go "fast." EXTREME performance M 50 engine with factory performance increases to about 500 hp. Page 17

18 What a beautiful cockpit for Extreme Performance. The Autobahn is the playground! In conclusion: Ferry Porsche said Porsche driving is "DAS FAHREN IN SEINER SCHÖNSTEN FORM" ("DRIVING IN ITS MOST BEAUTIFUL FORM") I supplemented - as I also told Tobias Aichele: with the 928 in NOBELSTE ART UND WEISE! (NOBELEST FASHION!) Konrad has an exceptional Porsche collection and has driven many more kilometers in Porsches than most. As a Porsche connoisseur he has sampled the finest. I have driven over 4,000,000 km (2,480,000 miles) with the 911 in 40 years but traveling with the 928 on the highway is incomparably nicer! I love the 928 as a true Gran Tourismo! It is truly a fitting compliment that Konrad pays the Porsche 928. Page 18
