DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Sill contours etc look terrible. I suspect there's plenty of work lurking under there... Instruments and switchgear look mostly correct. As the ad points out, some of the oil system pipework / junctionry is there, and is hard to find. Sound pad might be original too, if liberally embellished with re...

Good luck Tom! Keep posting, looking forward to seeing it come together.

I believe Dave can also help you out with that one, Darren:

A clear triumph of development over design.

Wow. An expert reply, with pic, within an hour.
Respect is due!
Cheers, Richard.

Andy, please can I have the clamshell?
Many thanks, Richard.

Hi Richard I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on that when you try it. A few of us are SWLondon based, we should get out for good drive early one morning Sounds good, count me in. I'm in Farnham; there are some decent roads south of here. Goodwood Breakfast Club one Sunday? Cheers, Richard.

Should I go through NOTHING TO DECLARE in the UK? https://www.gov.uk/duty-free-goods/arrivals-from-outside-the-eu In short, if the total value is over 390GBP you should go through red and declare. If you end up paying duty+VAT it will be a non-trivial percentage. Import duty varies depending on typ...

That's a bit strong, when PDK diesel Cayennes exist!
I think they are great, but arguably not worth the premium over a NB. Still great though, by almost all wider standards.

Chris, Thanks for the heads up. I bought it.
Cheers, Richard.

Nice steering column clam shell. Has one broken tab inside (pictured ) £40.00. Original blower motor cover. Slight bend to top section. Easy to straighten. £60.00. Hi Dave, Please can I have the clam shell and the blower motor cover? I can collect with the other bits (...soonish I hope..) Cheers, R...

Manufactured group. You'll need to remove an item of clothing to check the build number.
All X-factor finalists have a barcode tattoo-ed on their backsides. Simon Cowell does it personally.
Happy to help.

Hi Dave, I think you are kind-of saying that restoration and preservation is all getting too easy - to find parts and get the work done. I'm with Darren on this one. I don't think it is, not to do it well. Still seems to benefit from serious investment of time. By investing that time we meet (online...

Hi Tom, Hope all is well with you. Finished that Gemini Blue ('72E?) resto yet? The side profile is nice as well. https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8676/16602387735_3f401206f8_h.jpg 4G2O1583.jpg by T M Paterson , on Flickr Looks all right, I suppose. :wink: Good point about ride height, if only for aes...
