Very tempting - I will check to see if my Porsche dealer can supply these rectangular ones as an alternative as the 'Durant' type mirror is useless. I am kicking myself as Alan gave me the option of the mirror before the holes were drilled :roll: - 'My Bad' as they say! - Is this going to look daft ...

I would rather try and get a complete new one as the repaired one never worked properly after I tried to repair it.
Truth is that they are just so flimsey and fragile!
Are the rectangular post '72 ones any better?
same holes?

Thanks Nick - excellent news! I have had a repro on my old targa - which broke then my current T seemed to have the same - very fragile I even dismantled it to try and tighten it again, which worked. But I pushed it too hard trying to articulate it to actually view anything behind me and crack the m...

the certified 'gremlin free' was meant in good humour - hence the smiley face afterwards If an engine runs sweetly with no smoke and a suspected original low mileage, why would you do an engine rebuild? The car has the Zeniths rebuilt (I beleive Alan did them) and has new OEM plug leads, new plugs a...

Thanks for comments, car is in immaculate condition and wants for nothing. It is a correct 'matching numbers car', not a 'mish mash' of odds and ends! It does have some tastefull modifications from 100% stock though which include: Recaro replicas, front and rear inertia seat belts (so you can fit ki...

I am sure from the outside it might look like that, however after the initial purchase price, I put another £3K into it with Alan in upgrades plus I did get it at a cheap price. It was examined in France by an insurance appraiser for an agreed valuation insurance with a small dent in the door and oi...

1970 911T for sale 45,000€

My Ivory white 911T is for sale here and on Pistonheads. You may find cheaper, but think you will be hard pushed to find better. The 32K mileage cannot be verified with documentation, however if you drive the car and see the engine and components the car reflects the mileage. Alan (Canford Classics)...

1970 911T for sale 45,000€

Time has finally come where I should sell the 911T. :cry: I know I will regret this down the road, but I just have to think of the saying 'Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all!' Car is immaculate and has only done about 1,200 miles since Alan (Canford Classics) refurbished ...

He also gave the carbs a tune and she is running better than before!

cheers

I will contact those who offered help/spares if anything changes- but looks like she will be ba...
