Hi guys,
I am working on a reportage about a safety cell manufacturer, who´s already build cages for Porsche 911 decades ago.
I am now interested in images and spec of all Porsche 911, 356, 924, 928, etc. that have competed or still are competing in rallyes.
Thanx,
Robert

One friendly word of warning. We have spent a long time on here explaining why, in the English language, rallying is most certainly not racing, so we take no prisoners over words such as "rally racing" that are a contradiction in terms in English!
Your request is a very wide one. Can you be any more specific eg. are you looking for photos showing cages?
The first true "works" rally entry of a Porsche is usually considered to be Vic Elford/David Stone on the 1966 Tour de Corse, all previous Porsche entries of all models in rallying being officially "private" (although works in all but name in many cases I'm sure going back to the 356 era).
I don't like to be constantly referring people to Forum Auto but they have a thread on 356s
in rallying and one that is named after the drivers (Elford/Waldegard/Larousse) but is effectively about the 911. Thomas Lundevall has posted a lot of photos there, from Lars Helmer's collection, of the Scania Vabis 911s.
There isn't a good UK equivalent source to quote. British Rally Forum has some 911 photos but their "fanboy" fixation is on the 80s and Escorts.

I've changed the title to "Porsche in rallying"

I think that @Rallyewerk is looking for photos and information about early Porsche participation in rallies and the roll cages they used - not about modern rally Porsches.
