Some additional photos from the P-50 Williamsburg, VA Celebrations

[Rolf-Dieter ✝︎]

While in Williamsburg, VA this past September, not only did I shoot some of the nice cars that were there I also took a few photos with my iPhone of some of the interesting changes additions I saw. While the photos are self explanatory I shall add a few comments to each post of 4 or more.

The first 4 Photos are a) the poster from the P-50 and three different rear speaker arrangements.

Addition of a Speed-control Arrangement, I think there is a detail write up in the Technical Magazine if I am not mistaken.

Nice Displays made by some of the members.

Three point seatbelt arrangements, again I saw details in the Technical Manual as to how to install them. I will leave mine as they came from the factory.

Different Coffee Cup Holder arrangements.

Tools and Stuff;

Great idea to always carry some extra tools, one never knows when one of them nuts get loose On my way home it was raining most of the time so my windshield wiper worked a bit over time. As a result my passenger side windshield wiper went on strike.  Luckily I carried the right metric wrenches in a makeshift tool kit (not as nice as displayed in those photos) and I was able to correct the situation in one of the rest-areas along the way

There are some unique ways to attach attend tool storage and first aid kits also there is a trouble light that I learned can be connected just below the fire wall near the break drum should one get stranded at night.

Safety and preparing for the unexpected is always a good idea when we go on a longer trip with our cars.

Most of the fellows had there engines exposed and rightly so they were well looked after. In my case I kept my hood (bonnet) closed since much more work is needed before I dare to display it. This time of year is the right time to do some work if I find the time

And some more engines here ... including a non stock V8 ... sounded very nice.

Finally some handy items ... a nice basket on the dash, reminded me of my first ever new car a VW Beetle that had a flower vase on the dash

A windscreen (the only one I saw) I guess the rest of us is like me, I like to feel the wind in my hair

The picture I took of the price list when our cars came on the market I found very interesting.

And finally I brought along three little flags;

The German one, since it was the starting point of our little car.
The Canadian one, since that is where I came from.
The American one, to thank our host for having us at this P-50 Event.

Anyway, I wanted to share those photos with you here … the pictures are not the best quality to be sure, then it's much easier to carry the tiny iPhone. I find that my iPhone takes as good a picture then the digital camera I have.

RD,

That photo of the interior is interesting in that the Air Conditioning Unit is really set up for a RHD car with the controls on the RHD side if it was in a RHD car as the controls would then be in the centre of the car

Garry,

I cannot tell the difference, you seam to have sharp eyes My car also had a/c when it was registered in Florida. It was removed during the restoration work done in Canada in 1990 the only evidence I can see is from the access hole in the firewall and the compressor/pump that I now removed. I prefer mother natures fresh air, mind you if I would live in Arizona that would be a different matter.

Rolf,

you missed my car which also had some changes in the engine bay :

I think I explained it poorly,

The two control nobs are in front of the passenger, with a blank plate for the brand name in the centre. Maybe they should be in the left hand blank plate for a left hand drive thus above the centre console and the name plate would then be the blank plate in front of the passenger.
