1972 911S 2.4 Yellow

Herewith some first shots of my brand new second hand used car just after collecting from Early 911 yesterday (as always, thanks to Nick, Nick & Richard for their fine work & patience!):

UK RHD car with sunroof, electric windows, rear wiper, chrome wheel arch trims, brown leather & cord sports interior and limited slip diff. with a history file going back to '73.

Pretty much original - certainly never restored - interior is as it left the factory save for some rear lap belts, incorrect headrests and a period, under dash cassette player (positioned right by the left knee!

)

We had to drop the engine out as there was a leaking gearbox seal (which was missed by an OPC

) so took the opportunity to detail the engine. It's suprising how much of a difference this makes to the engine bay. Very well worth it.

Well done, it looks great.

Well Mr Moss has driven many 2.4S's and he speaks very well of that car.
Some 'drive' just like an S should and by all accounts this one has 'got it'.

I second all those views and having seen her in the metal and been involved in a vicarious way seeing the project come to fruition looking forward to having a go.

Looks to be a smashing car, even with the brown interior!

Should it have the 'large' gear shift pot with the 915 box?
I thought the T's had the small gear shifter (mine did, 73T)

However , all original and unwelded, that is a first!

Bet spring 2010 can't come round soon enough.

Do you mean the rubber gaiter? That was defo changed to the larger size for the '73 MY. '72 retained the smaller version, I believe.
