But hey, this car is fantastic in terms of it's originality, colur, history, but it seems there are few 77 911S's in the UK. I'd appreciate any advice related to resaleability, useabilty etc
I'm no expert in price but I'd say you can comfortably add £10k for a good selling colour.

I'm looking for a pre-impact bumper 911S or other high-revving 911 to restore - please let me know if you see one.

Well the car has landed. Despite buying the car in November 2021 the car arrived just this Monday at Felixstowe. Factory fitted A/C as well as leather steering wheel, Boge Shocks, Bamberg Elecctronic. The only advantage of waiting so long was the improved exchange rate back in November compared to now. At first look the car is as promised. It's always a treat buying from an experienced and trusted seller. This is the fifth car I have bought from this man and they have always been as described. Once " Euro'd " and registered I cannot wait to get out and about.
