Just made an update of the list.

Yesterday I went to visit the museum car and the grundmann cars, so I now added the bodynumbers for these cars.

"Number 13" appears to be painted Porsche Condor Yellow, which has a distinctive greenish cast. This color (Porsche #6010/Reutter #743) was only offered on the T5-bodied 356s cars built between mid-1959-61, several months after this Lawrence body was apparently built.

I've heard tell of another lawrence... potentially for sale... in Central California... not on the list...

Don't know the details yet... and I haven't seen it... but the source is legit.

still digging to get to the owner.

so all in all... we have a pretty high survival rate amongst the known Lawrence cars! A lot higher survival rate than the beeskows.

@t3kg: No, I haven't received the bodynumber. I can take some time before I get it. It is now in storage awaiting for the restauration

@Eric: If you found another one that would be great. Today I also got an E-mail about an yet undescoved one in Germany. Hopefully the story is true. There are 26 cars shown with pictures and at least 2 and possible even 4 cars that have to be photographed and published. That makes a total of 30 cars of the 85 made: 35% survival rate. Very Happy

Still hope to be able to buy one of this beauties soon.

Joe ruiz, or lenny knows. Ask em. Joe knew mark well enough to be on the phone with him, when the window fell out. As i spoke of before.
Ill say it again, i cant imagine the feeling of seeing that rear window hitting the freeway and shattering. I would pull over, break down and cry like a little baby.

Time for some updates.

I haven't find more information about the red/white car. Lenny can't remember this car. Still have to try Joe for it.

I got some "new" pictures of the yellew car. This time when the car was in better condition.

I found this picture in a old Fresh Super VW magazine.

Picture was taken at the Bug-o-rama in 1995.
anybody who knows more about this car?

The one on the left is the Wendler recently restored in the NY/MA-area. I know the pre-1994 owner of the Wendler had one more Wendler...maybe he was the owner of the Lawrence as well?

I believe Blue Nelson helped out on getting the two Wendlers from the south and up to the present owner - maybe he would know? But I guess tracking down Mr Nelson is more difficult than finding the car..
