Porsche 936

466
.


acrylic on paper 5x8" sold


the 936 has in my mind,
always been an underestimated Porsche.
even though it won Le Mans 3 times.
sitting between the 917 and 956
it had a lot to live up to...
.
is over at F1 Fanatic
always my first read of the day
especially the comments are good fun!
i think the Bellof painting looks great
thanks Keith!
