Classic enamel Porsche sign – ‘Elegante sportiva’

The Classic ‘elegante sportiva’ enamel sign captures the essence of Porsche – the perfect symbiosis of sportiness and elegance.

To this very day, the inspiration for every Porsche vehicle lies in the field of motorsport. And even series Porsche vehicles are, in many respects, the perfect companion on the starting line of any race – a fact which is as true today as it was in the 1950s. In 1967, Erich Strenger symbolised these properties with a side-by-side motif under the slogan ‘Elegante Sportiva’. One side showed a Red 911 with a serious look for business and family use, and the other showed the same car fitted out for rally driving, with a driver wearing overalls and crowned with a laurel wreath.

And it's not by chance that the figure looks a lot like British racing driver Vic Elford: in February 1967, ‘Quick Vic’ had taken part in – and won – the first rally cross race in automotive history at the Lydden Hill race circuit near the port of Dover, driving a Porsche 911 which had come straight from the showroom window of the local Porsche dealer.
