Well lets hope Mr McNally likes buying restored pre-production Porsches that he was the first owner of......he's worth about £600m!!!!

Try and trace owners after Mcnally to complete one part of the history

Middle one?

Bruce

That was the car I was referring to but couldn't find a photo, and of course it was LHD - I will look harder as I know it is on EarlySReg and is a single car pointing to the left.

Mike the RHD piece early in the thread must have thrown most of us

Great story.

No red interiour but was this fitted at the same time the LHD to RHD conversion was done?

And I think I would have tried to contact Paddy.

Contact Paddy McNally to fill in some gaps
Call Barry and reserve a slot for the metal work
Start acquiring all of those 69 only parts in preparation for the rebuild
Start coming up with a devious plan of how to drip feed and tease DDK members regarding the story
Continue my day to day role of "4 oclusal, 6 oclusal" etc.
Sit of an evening with a smile at our amazing discovery
Think about how we could rebuild the engine a little quicker than Brendans
