It was listed on Ebay a couple of times Andy, I can only presume the sales must have fallen through due to the usual ebay messers.I don't think this car has ever been advertised on ebay - not that I'm aware of anyway

Re: 1971 Burgundy 911T
I cant wait to see what you do with this car Andy.
It's the same as Hazels car was originally, a burgundy 2.2 71 T, but hers has a long way to go to catch up to yours.
Might be interesting to see how far apart the vin numbers are.

Although I've been spending many hours on the car, there hasn't really been a lot to show - hence the lack of updates to this thread.
I've now got the seat mounting sorted & painted, seats fitted to the frames & both seats now installed.
After removing the driver's floor mats, tunnel carpet & wooden pedal board it was great to find that the original floorpan on this side was in excellent condition too - even the area around the pedal box was totally rust-free :
The throttle pedal was removed, the threaded holes in the floorpan re-tapped & the cleaned pedal refitted with new hardware & plenty of copper grease.
I also took the opportunity to remove the remainder of the hoses that would have connected to the charcoal canister & capped off the ends of the metal tubes at the front of the tunnel.
Both wooden foot boards were in good condition - just a bit of the usual delamination on the driver's one - so, after gluing/clamping both were refitted:
The seat rail support brackets & tunnel grille, etc were cleaned & repainted:
- & finally everything was refitted:
So that's one thing ticked off the list - at some point I might modify the seats to incorporate some headrests (if I can find something suitable) but for the time being I'm happy with them as they are.

Re: 1971 Burgundy 911T

In addition to working on the car itself I was continually searching for/accumulating some of the items I knew I was going to need - main requirement (as always) was that they needed to be 'cheap' !
So, in no particular order I tracked down :
- a Facet 'red top' electric pump
- after cleaning & removal of the Facet label, it was fitted with a period Bendix sticker ... & then suitably 'aged'
- next, a Malpassi Filter King
- which scrubbed up well:
Another change planned was to replace the original air cleaner assembly with a pair of K&N filters (probably 'Watershields') - so I would need a suitably 'period-looking' catch tank for any oil vapours.
Since original SWB & LWB plastic SWF washer bottles (used by the Factory as catch tanks in various of their competition models) seem to command 'silly' money these days, I was going to have to use something else ...
- so I sourced this rather sad-looking VDO washer bottle :
- which after cleaning:
- & the addition of some hose connections & a red cap
- will fit the bill nicely !

Your attention to detail is brilliant as always Andy. I’m waiting for some steering wheel news?

Re: 1971 Burgundy 911T

Ok - time for a brief update ...
- just to re-iterate, my current plans for the car are just to generally clean/tidy it up & add a few personal touches along the way - all without spending too much money !
As mentioned earlier, the interior was looking very 'tired' so, after replacing the front seats & giving the carpets a good clean, I started on the gauges. The worst looking was the fuel/oil level gauge:
- so it was removed, dismantled, cleaned & the bezels repainted:
After re-assembling it was refitted - looking much better !
Next on the list was the clock ... I've never understood why manufacturers bothered to fit one when virtually every driver wore a watch - so the clock would be removed & the offending hole in the dash blanked off.
- clock duly removed:
- & a blank 85mm disc cut out from a piece of black textured ABS ... in fact I cut 2 discs - one from 3mm thick sheet & another from 4mm:
After trying both I opted for the thinner disc so glued it to a short length of 80mm plastic pipe & test-fitted it:
- that'll do nicely !
A few more items were removed/cleaned/repainted & refitted:
- it's surprising what a difference a lick of paint makes:
I'd been keeping an eye out for a suitable 'period' solid steering wheel hub &, with a bit of perseverance, managed to find one in the US for less than the price of a modern 'concertina' hub so, along with a suitable 'large-crest' Porsche Momo horn button, I used it to mount a 370mm leather wheel:
Next on the 'to do' list were the interior door panels ...
I've never liked the original 911 door pockets - to me they look too 'fussy' & it doesn't seem to take very long for them to deteriorate & look tatty.
The simplest solution is to mimic what the Factory used for their production-based competition cars - & RS LWT door card 'kits' are available from numerous sources but I wasn't going to go that route (too expensive).
I've done this on several of my cars in the past so sourced some Fiat 500 handles:
- & some suitable leather strap via ebay:
- & my 'twist' on the conversion is to use (yet again) some black textured ABS for the door cards themselves:
Passenger side roughly cut to shape:
Next installment coming soon ...

Me neither.
Nice steering wheel. Is it a Prototipo? Has it been recovered?
Re: 1971 Burgundy 911T
Great work Andy, how did you get the dials out? I thought that on earlier cars there is a bracket behind the dash that need to be removed, and that it's a pain to get to.
