Re: Maybe its time

it's got to be worth 60k plus all day long... maybe 70 if the sun is shining. - don't sell yourself short

Re: Black Carrera RS - SuperCarSunday - James Martin

John Watson has owned a black 73 RS from virtually new. Regards Mike Agreed, sounds like John Watson’s car. I believe it was given to him new by Hexagon and it sold at auction quite recently. https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-features/me-and-my-car-john-watson/23513 He mentioned to me that he sti...

Re: Black Carrera RS - SuperCarSunday - James Martin

it was John Watson, yes. I think I've lost my access to photobucket - so here's a link to instragram - there's a few pictures on there and there's also another post with a few more! https://www.instagram.com/p/CeJki0JoKt4/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link and https://www.instagram.com/p/CeLhsdkIfuQ/?utm_...

Black Carrera RS - SuperCarSunday - James Martin

yesterday, I was lucky enough to be invited, in my humble 356, to exhibit at James Martin's ( Chef ) super car Sunday. - it was a relatively low key event actually, with James brining some of his cars along. As an aside, I knew he was into cars, but didn't realise he had quite such a collection - cl...

Re: London .. help on where to live

I'm afraid I'm going to continue to disparage. - Stockwell/ Brixton have been up and coming areas for the last 30 years. Maybe they've improved, maybe people have just come to accept less. you live in Stockwell if you can't afford Battersea or Clapham and you live in Peckam if you can't afford Stock...

Re: London .. help on where to live

stockwell is a DUMP! - sorry to say it, but it is and always has been. Think about looking around Richmond, Putney, Mortlake - if she's used to a bit of green space she'll get it there, unlike Stockwell, - the only green space you'll get there is looking at the pavement outside a kebab shop. for 12-...

Re: Stonor Supercar & Classics 21st / 22nd May

Hi Paul, I'm going, but on the Sunday. I've agreed to exhibit my 356 on their lawns - I did this the first year the did it and it was a good day out, but you have to arrive early and can't leave until basically the show ends, hence this year I've picked the earlier close day, so Sunday. Last time I ...

Re: Hankering after a 356 Help Needed

Mark, good luck with your search! Do you have a particular type in mind? Clearly most people will plumb for an A, but budget constraints force people towards a B or C ( both rewarding but not as pretty IMHO). Once you have a budget set, you’ll know what you’re in for - either a shite box A or a not ...

Re: Hankering after a 356 Help Needed

That’s a fair point indeed. I bet an electric swap isn’t much more expensive than a full rebuild and detail on a Porsche motor now. probably not actually, but the driving experience isnt necessarily improved through an electric engine. I'd suggest its more of a compromise, so that you can continue ...

Re: Hankering after a 356 Help Needed

hey Mark. I think this would be better served in the 356 section - I know you'd get a load of help maybe Bootsy could move it for you. That said, I think you're suggesting what I did actually - ie start with a 911 and then move to a 356. - I bought mine from PRS about 8 years back. it was/is a bit o...
