Normally we would display the history, mileage, service records etc however when the car comes from its one and only keeper we thought we would copy the letter he produced
Porsche LIB 614 (original registration)
This Porsche 911 Carrera Sport was purchased by my Father Archie Phillips, from Agnews Porsche who were based in Mallusk at the time. The cars where a gift for me & my Siblings on my Fathers 65th birthday.
She was one of three identical cars purchased at the same time, LIB 612, LIB 613 and LIB 614. My car LIB 614 was registered to Phillips (Lion motors) Ltd, my Fathers business on 01-02-1988 in Grand Prix White with Navy half leather pinstripe seats. The cars V5 was then changed into my own name (Michael Philips) however I have owned the car from new.
In February 1990 when the car had its first service with Agnews it had 6000 miles, 2nd service November 1994 with 12, 700 miles. In February 1996 the car was serviced with 17, 480 miles & the alarm was replaced as the original was faulty & those invoices are present. At some point in the 90’s the service book was misplaced & I cannot recall what happened to it, its possible I left it in Agnews at the time to get it stamped & didn’t get back for it. I never imagined I’d part with the car so subsequently never got a replacement book, I do however have the original handbooks & the associated invoices.
November 1996 the car was back with Agnews with a starting fault which turned to be faulty sensor (invoice supplied)
I have most of the Mots, starting in 1994 when the car was 6 years old where it had 8230 mies. Over the next few years I have the mot certificates where the car had 18750 miles by 1997. I then parked the Car in the garage in Belfast for a number of years until I mot’d the car again in February 2000 with 21000 miles. In early 2000 the clutch had gone & Alan Roddy stripped & sent the gearbox to Agnews to get the work done & the clutch was sorted.
Coming home from my Sisters house mid summer one evening in the early 90’s I remember clipping the front wheel on a cobble & actually had to replace the wheel & tyre, when I realised the costs of parts & servicing , I only drove it on special occasions after this.
In January 2001 the milage at most was 24212 & by 2003 the car had only 26195 at its time of mot. In 2004 the miles were 26, 608 & Alan Roddy carried out the removal of the oil tank & due to the car lying up, quite a substantial amount of work was carried out at this time again with a supplied invoice. It did 200 miles that year and then retested 2005 with 26876 miles. I kept the car taxed but didn’t test it and when I got around to doing it in 2008 the 911 had 26, 927 miles.
The car was stored in Antrim at my Fathers, I recall starting it after a long period of idIe use & the garage filled with smoke. Not knowing this was common & could happen to old 911s. I decided to have the engine rebuilt and this was carried out in 2007. This again was carried out by Alan Roddy with supplied invoice.
In 2008 I had had enough of looking after the car in all honesty, sorned the car and she lay in my fathers garage in Antrim.
In July 2019 McMillan specialist cars pulled the 911 out of the garage in Antrim & transported it to their premised where it again sat for some time. I have expansive invoices from them. At great expense & the car was mot’d once again in 2020 with 27, 010 miles. My final time of mot testing the car came in March 2022 where she had 27, 672 miles. I moved house to Holywood at this stage & stored the car in my garage.
By this stage I had retired and thought I could look after her a bit more but I finally came to the decision into part with the car in August 2022 after 34 years. Although supplied with the car I had to keep my original registration as a brief memory of my time with her
