My name is Rolo and I have a 917 Addiction.

According to my inventory spreadsheet, I have 78 different 917's.

54 from Fly
11 from Carrera
7 from NSR
6 from Le Mans Miniatures

According to my math, my collection is 11.8% Porsche 917's.

My white whale is a Le Mans Miniatures Porsche 917 from the 1969 Le Mans Race, with the Yellow #14 livery. Any one have one New in Box for sale?

Thanks, brother.

The Porsche 917 holds a special place in my heart...it was from the movie Le Mans that I saw maybe when I was 8 or 9 years old that had a profound impact on me. The noise, the spectacle, those Gulf colors...whatever it was, that film instilled in me a life long love of racing.

Another early 917 by LMM, one of several longtails that raced at Le Mans in 1969.
