A pure guess on the price would be £250 - £300K. I might be £150K out of kilter either way though :? Roy Roy, your assessment of the value is in line with what I have seen here in the U.S. I know of a similar Carrera 2.

I cant see a 25 year old restoration lasting that well, if it was a dodgy one..... Good point - but what I was inferring is that, from all that I've seen, US restos tend to not be too good on the detail - and as everyone who's restored one of these cars knows, the detail is where the cost is.

Rustbucket, your initial request for information was promptly and correctly answered by Roy Mawbey. Your second question concerning the conversion from 6V to 12V Voltage Regulator deserves closer examination. This conversion is not new and has been addressed by many.

International Mercantile; Terry Moorehouse, is one of the oldest suppliers of 356 rubber products in the U.S. In the '70's Terry, Stoddards, and the Johnson Brothers at PB Tweeks kept our 356's the road with reproduction parts. With out them, we would not have as strong a presence today. Today, ther...
