Le Mans Lounger? UK Firm Builds Porsche 917 Sofa

917-couch.JPG

Your humble WINDING ROAD online editor has been looking for the proper couch to furnish his new loft, and this Porsche 917 sofa in Gulf livery would appear to be just the ticket. Well, it might’ve been, were it not for its prohibitive £3995.00 (nearly $7500 USD) price tag.

With a leather seating surface and your choice of liveries (a model in Martini racing regalia is also on offer). The Mark Walklett piece is offered by the UK’s Inspired Design, and they’ll even put one together in your own choice of colors and markings for an additional fee.

The ‘body’ is rendered in fiberglass, and receives nine coats of automotive paint. Its underlying chassis is made of powder-coated 16 gauge tubular steel. Four lights are mounted underneath a Perspex lens, and they can even be made functional at the buyer’s request.

Only 17 serialized, signed sofas will be produced in each livery, so if you’re interested in putting one in your living room or Garage-Mahal, we’d suggest acting quickly.

Im 18 years old and as a struggling student who enjoys racing UGG
Boots
ultra short Le its becoming extremely expensive and harder to
attend and enjoy a days racing.
Sure a student with a part time UGGS upside job would
have to save for a few weeks to consider attending a raceday as expensive as
this. I see that
Fairyhouse are racing on the 19th of this month and are charging UGGS
whitely boots 5e entry fee.
Its up to other tracks to follow suit and use some initiative to offer better
value to the normal racegoer….Pretty good air jordan post. I just found your site and wanted to say that I have really
enjoyed browsing your Bailey Button UGG Boots posts. In any case I’ll be
subscribing to your blog and I hope you nike sb post again soon! UGG Boots
