WTD: RHD swb (65-68) coupe

Post by TimB »

Appreciate I am fishing in a pretty small pool but trying to find the above, given the limited number I am trying to keep an open mind (other than it must be a RHD swb coupe) to what I would take on from project to completed car but given I have far too many parts a project I could fasten them to would probably be my preference.

If you have a car/project available or know of one then please drop me a PM.

Thanks
Tim

I submitted an enquiry a few weeks ago and didn't get a response; subsequently I have been told they have spent 'in excess of £200k' and that they will be looking to recoup that and more....I wish them luck with that!

No, but isn't it incredible that there are two RHD 68L's on the market right now? (About 6 or 7 years ago I was searching for a SWB but couldn't find one).

The one from JZM is a "68.5" meaning magnesium crankcase, which would be my preference.

.

Seems like Burgundy was a popular colour for RHD 911L's - as well as the JZM car, Phillip Taysom's early car (which, from memory was a Sporto) was also Burgundy & I think it was the original colour of Warren's ('woznot') car too ...

Unfinished as my bodywork guy has been spending the last 12 months finishing my 1950 vw transporter, now that’s completed he will be continuing with the 65. Definitely not for sale.
