DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Yep, the pre-inspection visit would be fun.

Wife's car now in the classifieds - as soon s that sell, we are good to start looking.

The wife has agreed to sell her lovely 2007 BMW convertible and pump the money into a pre-73 911. What a fantastic wife! The car is very tidy, 41k miles, full leather. Taxed/MOT'd to Sept. Just insure and drive away into the sunset. If any of you DDKers are after a nice, tidy BMW convertible for sum...

I wonder what is driving the price differential? I can only assume supply/demand for old 911s in US - or more motivated sellers prompting keener pricing in the US. EIther way, looking at the prices here in the UK for ex-US LHD cars (£25kish), it seems that similar spec and condition cars in the US a...

Both US & mainland Europe seem to have a large supply of pre-73 911s on the market. Substantially more choice than the UK. Given that I cannot stretch to a RHD car, which market presents the better option? The US route may provide 'dry state' rust free cars - but the cost of inspection (ie getti...

Damn!

Just rang about this car on Saturday and it was already sold....

Looks very clean in photos and priced OK.

Good luck with it.

What was the bodywork like re: rust and chassis? Any work to do?

The car is still on carandclassic - it was £22995 - a LHD ex Cali car.

Looked good apart from the weird modern seats.

Rang Marcus Fothergill in Harrogate on Saturday to go look at the black 911t (with non matching #s engine).

It was already gone.

Anyone on here?

Lovely collection.

Really top stuff.

One question: how'd you get a green card??

Thanks for the responses chaps. Pharmacist - where in Leeds are you? I'm in Weetwood. I'm not far from you - Chapel Allerton. Stuj76's car is beautiful - it was seeing his car that inspired me to get one - though mine isn't a patch on his!!! Worth seeing both if you can though as mine is currently ...

Sounds like seeing three at once will be useful. I will see if wife fancies a drive over.

Cheers

Thanks for the responses chaps.

I may combine a trip to Formby when the weather improves with a drop in at Wigan.

Stu 76...when you find this thread...where are are you....

Thinking about a 914 purchase - but never had the chance to closely inspect, hear, drive in one etc.

Any owners near Leeds fancy introducing me to 914 ownership?

Yes, the lapful of beer was amusing - a terrible waste of peroni and mild. Note how my cider was completely unharmed.... Was very good to meet you all - and a powerful impression was left on my other half. She suggested on the drive home we sell the current car and look for an old 911...I wanted a 3...

I will be there with the wife - sadly not in a Porsche..but it is German!
