I have used the car sparingly and only in the dry, there is the odd stone chip if you look close but still a stunning looking car.
It drives well, is quick and a bit rowdy with the stainless exhaust and Weber carbs. Everything works as it should which is odd for one of
these.
Also comes with some spares if you want them and a new twin box RC40 Exhaust in case you want to quieten it down a bit.
Loads of history with the car, I've spent thousands on the resto as it was just too easy to buy new bits as they are all available and seem
cheap until you add it all together !
I've relived my youth and feel I'm old enough, fat enough and bald enough to fulfill the 911 dream so she has to go to fund it. This car has been a labour of love and I wanted to get it looking, sounding, sitting and driving just right. The paintwork really pops and the engine roars with the Weber carbs and stainless exhaust.
There is stacks of history with it including an old club magazine feature and loads of old MOT certificates
