Re: help selling. 1973 2.4S targa RHD.

Update. for now my friend has decided to keep the Targa. I think that it is the right decision. As soon as he started to get some serious interest he started to think that he was doing the wrong thing.. he is now considering buying a modern Targa to go with the old one!! thanks for all of the help. ...

Re: help selling. 1973 2.4S targa RHD.

This is a rare car, one of only 46 worldwide. It requires some very careful promotion by the right people to get the top price. Can you confirm the colour please. Likely Bahia red over black. If original colour it is very rare. If repainted in the year 2000 to guards red (by mistake or otherwise) t...

Re: I have found a RHD1968 911L and need help please.

Final update.
It sold yesterday. It has been purchased by Brian at Rindt. He will find a new life for it. The seller is happy and I think that the deal was a fair one.

Re: I have found a RHD1968 911L and need help please.

Hi All it has been a few months and I owe you all an update.. I had a good look at the car and did a realistic/pessimistic assessment of the money and time that i would have to spend and decided not to make an offer as it would have been less than the sum of the parts and the owner was keen not to b...

Re: I have found a RHD1968 911L and need help please.

So I have been asking around and it looks like it doesn't make sense for me to restore it as the cost is looking north of £100,000 to make an £80,000 car.. I think that the car is worth more sold off in parts, which is against the owners wishes.. If anyone is interested in the car as a project or in...

Re: I have found a RHD1968 911L and need help please.

I have decoded the VIN and the first 4 digits are 1181 XXXX this seems to show that it is a 911, 1968, T Coupe, and not an L as the owner had told me. Thanks for all your help. I have some thinking to do. As you all say it is is a one year only model and with boxes and boxes of parts it could become...

Re: I have found a RHD1968 911L and need help please.

. I don't know where you got that engine number from but it bears no resemblance to format used for 2.0 911 engines. There were 4 different engines used in the 1968 911L: - engine type no. 901/06 with serial no. in the format 308 XXXX fitted to ROW 911L models - engine type no. 901/07 with serial n...
