Porsche 904

I've been without a 904 for too long, which is why I jumped at the chance of building one when Frogeye fashioned this resin shell. Many regard Butzi's 1964 2-litre 4-cylinder 4-cam 2-seater as a styling masterpiece, and the car's results in competition speak for themselves.

A truly great all-rounder with success on the Monte, at Le Mans and elsewhere, it was also a most tractable road car for those who could stand the noise inside the cabin. Porsche's first GRP-bodied car, its influence among car designers is plain to see, even though the car marked something of the end of an era for Porsche.

After the 904 the Piech era began with a promise to take the company to the top. The 904 had a relatively brief career, but proved its worth from the off. The 904, therefore.
