Yes it was around about the same time as the Ferrari 250LM, Shelby Cobra Coupe and the first version of GT40
The 904 grew into the 906, 908 910 the fearsome 917

Crackin car. Porsche only lost the '0' when peugot through their teddy out the pram and won a legal claim that they owned the rights on having a 0 in the middle.

To my mind one of the prettiest porches ever and would make a really nice and practical kit car if one could afford it - kits seem to cost 50thou pounds or more.

Sterling Moss drove one at Mosport in the 60's, I still have a picture of it, painted pale green, not quite as pale as UDT Laystall cars.
