Ok, thanks SP72. I'll send you payment details. Doug

Just found this in the drawer, never fitted so as new. These are pretty rare and now that my IB has been replaced by a Cayman someone else can get around to fitting it. Going by the last few that sold on here £100 inc P&P seems about fair.

My 83 SC has just passed 155k and has also never had a rebuild......uses about a litre of oil every 3k miles which doesn't seem too bad. Seems to run better as the miles go on and definitely loves to be thrashed :-)
-
I noticed a difference in stability (at motorway speeds) when I went from a whale to a duck so I'm sure going to a flat lid would have a very noticeable difference. I doubt Porsche made the tails bigger as the cars got faster just for looks!
-
I've had black and silver plates on for about 7 years and 30k miles without a problem Mark....I think the older the car gets the less they care. Also passed 7 MOT's in that time with them on! I think it helps if the car looks a bit retro.....
-
Bought mine over 10 years ago for £6500 and have spent a fair bit more than that since but I don't think I'll ever sell it!
-
Difficult to get that close to the Singer look as they have bespoke flares on the front and rear making them nearly as wide as a turbo... The mirrors are another detail hard to replicate. I don't blame you for trying though....I love Singers too :-)
-
My 83 SC's rev limiter is just a basic centrifugal contact-breaker in the rotor arm....I thought they were all like that until the 3.2 came out!
-
This is very true and I've noticed exactly the same over the last 10 years. I'm not sure I could cope with the negativity and general bad attitude directed towards people driving modern Porsches (or even a modern-looking £7k 996) Heaven knows what it's like tooling around in a red Ferrari!! I'll stick with my old banger :-)
-
On the other hand if someone had two financial advisor's turn up, one in a nice Porsche and another in a poverty-spec Astra which one would they use? It can work both ways!
-
I found the oil-cooler bracket is a bit different too.....I fabricated one.
-
I think that's the best example I've ever seen for prospective 911 buyers to look at!! A body shop that didn't know classic 911's would look at that bubble, probably quote a couple of hundred to fix it and then just weld a patch over the hole. I remember when I was looking for my car someone said to me "All unrestored 911's have rust....If yours hasn't you just haven't found it yet"
-
Wow! How could anybody have painted over that!!
-
Looking great, really nice to see an updated car brought back to impact bumpers and Fuchs. Great colour, similar to mine just a bit lighter. Metallic red 911's are pretty rare which I like
-
This works 100%, I've done it for the last 8 years and never get start-up smoke......unless I forget and turn it straight off!
