Description
This beautiful early 911 is a dry state US import LHD 1971 911T in kardex Pastel Blue with a 1972 2. 4 and a Mike Bainbridge rebuilt 915 gearbox. Interior is original apart from new pepita insert seats and momo prototipo wheel, plus cocomats and working period Becker radio. Wheels are nice fuchs on matching Goodyear tyres and a steel spare.
The car was imported from the states in around 2007 by Nick Moss of - details above, and lightly restored/ repainted employing GRP front and rear bumpers. There doesn’t seem to have been any rust or repairs and there is no current rust. As it was restored 15 years ago or so, if something was going to be showing up it would have done so by now.
Since 2008 the car has been looked after by Mike Bainbridge Engineering, which has included annual servicing, replacement 915 gearbox, newer brakes and elephant racing trailing arms.
The engine was stripped cleaned and resealed after import in 2007. It starts fine runs well. It has never caused problems. The car drives really well with plenty of power, nice transmission of course (having been touched by greatness), no rattles or wobbles, and good brakes, although the travel is quite long in the pedal There is lots of paperwork with the car from its time in the UK.
The bodywork is unharmed apart from a chip by the fuel filler which has been skilfully touched in.
The owner just had the car MOT’d with no advisories, and fitted a new Bosch battery.
(Pastel blue Cibie pallas in pastel blue for the bonnet includeable by negotiation)
