@Schilderfee Can you please tell us what auction house and year they were authenticated and previously bought from by you?
@Mollamar Thank you :D I just wanted to underline my statement.
Have a nice Christmas time
@Schilderfee Keep your hands!
Bid in the amount of $1,800
@Mollamar We can say 100% that the blueprint is authentic and comes from the hands of a porsche engineer, we will communicate all this openly and honestly with the buyer.
And about your forum post. what size are the guys talking about? we're talking about a 1:4 scale blueprint here. it's not easy to copy this size.
Are you familiar with porsche posters? the blueprint has the same signs of ageing as the posters from the 1970s.
Both my hands should fall off if we have manipulated something.
Good luck to all interested parties.

Hoping to hear more about the authenticity @schilderfee. I saw this floating around where people are talking about printing the image onto blueprint paper.

@Schilderfee Are you able to disclose the European auction house from where this was purchased?
Bid in the amount of $1,050
Hello dear interested parties,
We have communicated with the auction house where we got the blueprint from and have received the following reply. For data protection reasons, here is an excerpt, we would like to show the original to the future buyer so that he can be sure that the story is correct.
The term blueprint is a collective term for various, mostly obsolete copying processes. Source: Wikipedia: Wikipedia
These plans come from a Porsche engineer who had them since the 70s.
These plans were duplicated at Porsche and handed out to employees.
So we can say with certainty that the blueprint is from a former Porsche engineer and therefore authentic
Have fun and good luck bidding

Hello everyone,
Welcome to this unusual auction.
We offer here an original copy of a factory blueprint, the size is 71x48 inches, very impressive.
The condition is very good for its age, minimal creasing to the edges.
If you are familiar with Porsche posters, a small note on authenticity.
The paper of the blueprint shows the same signs of ageing as authentic Porsche posters from this period. Discoloration/yellowing
And in 1970 it was probably not possible for many people to make copies of this size.
So we can safely say that the blueprint dates from this time.
The blueprint is also stamped, which is so rare to find.
There are also small handwritten notes on the blueprint.
We bought the blueprint ourselves at an auction a while ago, the auction house is quite renowned when it comes to automobila, and the auction house also sells the blueprints as originals.
A fantastic wall decoration with Porsche history... this time without reserve... good luck to all interested parties and have a nice pre-Christmas time :)
If you have any questions, please send me a message
