Kremer vs Kremer

• 

We may be on to something here. Today’s Friday Lady shows the way. She’s wearing a sweater by Isabel Marant, boots by Vagabond etc. But it’s the backdrop that we find quite a lot more interesting here. But over to Bonhams first. They are selling an original 1976 Kremer Porsche  934/5 Group 4 car in Martini livery, which was laid up unused between 1977 and 2006, but had Nürburgring and Flugplatzrennen history prior to that. It’s lot number 49 on the sale of this very weekend.

Now, lot number 50 is a matching transporter in the shape of a 1977 VW T2 bus with similar Martini Racing livery. When you buy the Porsche, you may well be tempted to buy the VW too. However, it’s a replica. And we don’t think the Porsche will fit inside. We even do not know if Kremer Racing or Martini Racing used a VW Transporter at all.

But then these photographs, taken for a fashion shoot by Björn Lewe for Golden Cage, came in. We are no experts on the subject, but it seems to us that the long wheel base Mercedes 608 transporter seen here could well be the real deal. This may be it in an earlier guise? Certainly worth a try when you do become the Kremer Porsche's new owner and would like to take it to historical events, we'd say...
