Porsche for sale of the day..........
Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........
Yes it is a long way. But I’m planning on taking 10-14 days round trip. It looks a fab hill climb with some real STs and a low key event.
With all this time to reflect, its time to plan and make the most of when it’s all ‘over’.
Didn’t realise the 40 Weber’s would be ok at that sort of capacity. Good news, thanks!

Buying a build slot from Darren?
There’s a business idea.... for Darren!
I would love to be able to do it myself but I know my limits. Not sure who else I would trust after some of the horror stories on here.
Anyway, sorry for the thread drift.

Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........
If it’s the original colour I’d be building I back to original as that’s a very rare and potentially valuable car. I’ve only seen one before for sale in that year and colour

Well you live in the epicentre of UK hill climbing! Do it!911flyboy wrote:It probably will be saved from the wide arches! I wanted an ST rep before it became fashionable and now feel that I missed out. I probably can’t bring myself to cut up a rust free car. Using Darrens mongrel as the high water mark, I would be pleased to get the engine anywhere near that. But engines like that cost so much!
Maybe I will just do hill climbs....
Lovely car by the way

I’ve done Bernina twice, alfa and 911, you’ll be fine jump in and go - see you there - top tip - no hotel breakfast, up early to be at the top for sunrise - you won’t regret it.

Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........
That car is gorgeous, i know nothing of and do not care about horn grill screw colour etc. Lovely, just lovely. BUT Williams Crawford, if you insist on putting your plaque (as in teeth?) over the front numberplate for the pictures.......PUT IT ON STRAIGHT!!!!! Arrrggghhhhh. Back to the shed. W

Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........
Hi,
sorry for the delay, home schooling is such fun!
The car was originally signal orange and painted 20 years ago in glasurit gulf orange. I had some paint done and it matched perfectly. I don’t think I would need to do too much to it for hill climbing. It is no. 40 off the line in July 1969 but a MY 1970 car so would have been built around the same time as the lightweight S’s. A diet for me would be the most cost effective performance modification!
I would have to drive it to events as I don’t want to get involved with trailers etc. After this nonsense perhaps best to start a beginners hill climbing thread.
As an aside, the last car I ‘built’ is hillclimbed by Margeret so about time I did it myself.
Yours
Rich

Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........
Just a hill climbing comment, no more.
Making a 911 road car to a good hill climb car is just so easy, just do the road going class.
The only thing a car needs is to be road worthy(!), road / MoT quiet, have a bolt-on timing strut (use the number plate bolts), an arrow (stick) to how which way to turn the ign' key to 'OFF' and some yellow tape around the /each battery -'ve cables.
Finally some race numbers that are assigned to each meeting. Put these on simple magnetic sheets, and then to the doors on arrival.
Biggest expense is your own PPE!
Suggest you do a hill climb drivers' school as a taster, you need none of the above and can borrow a crash hat on the day.
I did it this way for about 14 years.

A fully restored '57 A in Roy's preferred colour.
£ 175,000.00 seems entirely reasonable.

Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........
And a '59 which was originally Meissen Blue but now Aquamarine Blue which I think looks great.
Presently at $33,000.00 with five days to run.

Rather like the old tailors saying “Which side does Sir prefer?”.
Seems plenty are forced to the left, but the right does indeed incur a financial penalty!

Lusting after a 30/98, will settle for a 23/60.

Looks lovely. Not heard of Trofeo Cars nor a RHD T/R. But then I can’t afford one either!
